Kings eye a Hedo reunion
A source says trade talks -- Ron Artest is a likely candidate -- have been
held.

Playing for the Kings isn't what it used to be.

The playoff streak, of course, was stopped at eight consecutive seasons last
April. And with three coaches in the past three seasons, the Kings can't
exactly boast about stability to players considering coming to Sacramento.

Nonetheless, the competition for roster spots might be more intense than
ever. Only nine players have guaranteed contracts for next season, giving
free agents and summer-league standouts a chance to make the roster.

But the Kings' roster retooling appears to include an attempt to bring a
former player back via trade.

According to a league source, the Kings recently contacted Orlando about Hedo
Turkoglu. The small forward, entering his eighth season, began his career in
Sacramento in 2000 and was part of a three-team trade in 2003 that sent him
to San Antonio.

The source would not go on record for fear of repercussion.

The most likely King to be offered in a deal would be small forward Ron
Artest, whose $7.8 million salary for the 2007-08 campaign is close enough to
Turkoglu's $6.3 million salary to fall within the parameters of the
collective bargaining agreement. Turkoglu has two seasons remaining on his
contract and a player option for a third, while Artest has two seasons left
on his deal but holds an early termination option for next summer. Kings
basketball president Geoff Petrie did not return a call seeking comment.

As for potential lower-level additions, the Kings released their Las Vegas
summer-league roster Tuesday. The group is headlined by third-year swingman
Francisco Garcia, second-year guard Quincy Douby and 2007 first-round draft
pick Spencer Hawes, a center from the University of Washington.

Among the four former Kings who became free agents July 1, big man Justin
Williams is the only one on the summer-league roster. Noticeably absent is
third-year guard Ronnie Price, who -- like Williams -- became a free agent
but has been given a qualifying offer from the Kings that in no way
guarantees a return. The Kings can rescind the offer, but it gives them the
right of first refusal should another team make an offer.

Meanwhile, point guard Pooh Jeter returns for his second summer stint with
the Kings and could have a chance to make the roster. Jeter, a 5-foot-11
University of Portland product who was cut during the Kings' training camp
last year, played well enough in the NBA Development League last season to
start in the All-Star Game. Artest's brother, Daniel, who has played in
community college and overseas, is also on the Kings' summer roster.

As for the free-agent front, Petrie said Monday he has had "a preliminary
conversation" with Corliss Williamson's agent, Jimmy Sexton. The former Kings
forward said during the 2006-07 season he believes he has six seasons left.
Williamson, 33, made $6.5 million last season and had said he would seek a
three-year deal this time around. Petrie said no offer has been made.

"He's a guy that everybody likes around here," Petrie said. "We'll continue
to stay in touch with Jimmy and see at some point where we're at and what
we're trying to do or what we may be able to do or get done that still fits
for him and fits for us."

It has also become official that point guard Mike Bibby is, for now, on the
Kings' payroll for next season. Bibby did not exercise his early termination
option for the 2007-08 campaign by the June 30 deadline, meaning he remains a
King and will earn $13.5 million next season.

Bibby has a player option after the 2007-08 season, giving him the chance to
become an unrestricted free agent next summer and turn down the final year of
his deal worth $14.5 million.

Tuesday afternoon, the Kings released former assistant coaches Scott Brooks,
Brendan O'Connor, Mark Hughes and Clay Moser.

Jason Hamm was the only assistant coach not released.
