Klay Thompson and the Golden State Warriors have agreed upon a four-year, $70 millon maximum contract extension.

The deal contains no options.

The Sacramento Kings reportedly made a late push to trade for Thompson by offering anyone other than DeMarcus Cousins or Rudy Gay.

The rising cap has triggered renewed interest from teams in trading for Jason Thompson, according to multiple sources.

The Kings like to use a small-ball lineup and could use Thompson as a backup center.

Thompson is signed through the 16-17 season.

Vivek Ranadivé has pitched an idea to the Sacramento Kings' brain trust of playing 4-on-5 defense to leave one player to cherry-pick on the offensive end of the floor, according to multiple sources.

The Kings won't try that idea, but their D-League affiliate might experiment with the concept.

Ranadivé is committed to pushing boundaries in his search for an offbeat brand of “position-less” ball.

With an opportunity to sign, free agent Terrence Williams worked out for the Sacramento Kings on Monday for the second time since July, league sources told RealGM.

Williams, the No. 11 overall pick in the 2009 NBA Draft out of Louisville, has reshaped his professionalism and maturity over the past several years, longing to reprove and commit himself in the NBA.

With the Kings’ inconsistent wing performances at times in the preseason, Williams could prove to be the most ideal fit for the franchise’s roster among the free-agent pool. At 14 players, Sacramento has one roster spot open.

Williams, 27, spent most of last season in the NBA D-League with the Los Angeles D-Fenders. He averaged 20.5 points, 6.4 assists and five rebounds in 32 games, including the D-Fenders single-game record of 59 points.

After leaving the NBA to sign in the Chinese Basketball Association in 2012, Williams received an opportunity with the Boston Celtics and earned a multi-year contract. He averaged nearly five points, two rebounds and two assists in 2013, and became a contributor in Doc Rivers’ rotation late in the season

Amid his early years with the Nets, successful stop in Sacramento and recent season with the Celtics, Williams refined his work ethic and became one of Boston's most diligent workers. The Celtics released Williams in the summer of 2013 because of an off-court court charge that was later dismissed as self-defense.

Williams has averaged 7.1 points, 3.6 rebounds and 2.4 assists in 153 NBA games over four seasons.

The Sacramento Kings waived guard Trey Johnson on Saturday, the team announced.

The Kings roster now stands at 14 players. 

Johnson, a 6-5 guard, appeared in four exhibition games for Sacramento, totaling eight points (2-3 FG, 0-1 3pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds and one assist in 12 minutes off the bench.

The Sacramento Kings have picked up the 2015-16 option on guard Ben McLemore’s contract.

Entering his second NBA campaign, the 6-5 guard averaged 8.8 points (.376 FG%, .320 3pt%, .804 FT%), 2.9 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 26.7 minutes per contest as a rookie last season.

The Sacramento Kings waived center Sim Bhullar, guard Deonte Burton and forward David Wear on Sunday.

The Kings preseason roster now stands at 15.

The Sacramento Kings have hired David Arseneault Jr. of Divison III Grinnell (Iowa) College to coach their D-League affiliate.

Arseneault, who has served as an assistant at Ginnell College, will try to incorporate the Division III program's well-chronicled high-scoring offensive system into the Reno Bighorns.

Rudy Gay dropped 15 pounds that he gained before last season.

“I had to lose a lot of weight,” Gay said. “I put on a lot of unnecessary weight. I feel good now. I feel lighter, I feel quicker.”

Gay said the extra weight was due to his workout regimen.

“Heavy weight lifting,” Gay said. “That’s somthing that I shouldn’t have done.”

Gay said his “excessive” gains were to prepare to play against bigger players last season with the Toronto Raptors.

“One of the emphasises coming into camp last year with Toronto was me playing the stretch four and putting on the weight was one of those things,” Gay said. “It didn’t turn out very well so I had to drop it. Now I feel like a guard again.”
