A free agent again, Lydon said he’s had some opportunities to potentially play overseas, but isn’t in a hurry to make a commitment. “Right now I’m just kind of staying ready, seeing what comes about, not really rushing into anything,” Lydon said. “I’m going to sit down and talk to my family for whatever the best move is for me.”

The Sacramento Kings made a series of moves today, according to General Manager Vlade Divac, as Sacramento exercised the Standard NBA Contract Conversion Option on forward Wenyen Gabriel and claimed guard/forward DaQuan Jeffries off waivers. Sacramento then exercised the two-way player conversion option on Jeffries and waived forward Tyler Lydon.
James Ham: According to a league source, DaQuan Jeffries is joining the Kings as a two-way player. Wenyen Gabriel is being converted to a regular NBA contract and added to the roster. Tyler Lydon is being waived.
Before you signed with the Kings, how stressful were those couple months between the season ending and that deal? Tyler Lydon: I think I went through my phases. There were a few times throughout the week where it just kind of hit me. I’d be, like, freaking out. What team am I going to go to, am I going to go to a team? All that stuff. But I talked to my agent a lot through the process and he did a good job reassuring me. Honestly, the biggest thing for me was being able to come home (to Pine Plains). If I would have stayed in Denver or was trying to work out someplace else, it would have been on my mind all the time.
When Denver didn’t pick up your option, what was the rest of the year like for you? Tyler Lydon: I think there’s a bunch of different emotions that went through my head. At the time, I was moreso frustrated. You feel like you belong on the floor. I felt like I did everything right in terms of keeping my head down, working, being a good teammate. So at times, it got frustrating because I never felt like I got an opportunity
