Ben McLemore has been available in trade talks by the Sacramento Kings for months.

McLemore is in the final season of his rookie contract.

The Kings acquired Arron Afflalo and Malachi Richardson this offseason.

McLemore’s playing time dropped to 21.2 minutes per game last season because the Kings opted to use Marco Belinelli more.

Rudy Gay has informed the Sacramento Kings he intends to opt out and is unlikely to have interest in re-signing during the 2017 offseason.

Gay holds a $14.3 million player option for the 2017-18 season. He’ll make $13.3 million this season.

The Kings have no interest in trading away Gay without a substantial package in return.

The Kings could wait until deeper into the season before moving Gay.

Jordan Farmar has agreed to a deal with the Sacramento Kings.

Farmar finished last season playing for Dave Joerger with the Memphis Grizzlies.

The Kings also have Darren Collison and Ty Lawson at point guard.

Isaiah Cousins has signed a partially guaranteed one-year deal with the Sacramento Kings.

Cousins was a second rounder by the Kings out of Oklahoma in 2016.

Cousins averaged 6.0 points, 4.0 rebounds and 3.5 assists in 25.1 minutes over two Summer League games for the Kings.

Cousins averaged 12.7 points, 4.5 rebounds and 4.5 assists in his senior season at Oklahoma.

Darren Collison has agreed to a plea deal of one count of misdemeanor domestic violence stemming from a May 30th incident.

According to the plea agreement, Collison received a 20-day jail sentence, which he will serve in an Alternative Sentencing Program, where he will work on community service projects overseen by Placer County.

"Words cannot describe the feelings and regret that I have been experiencing the last few months," Collison said in a statement. "My family and I found ourselves in such an unfamiliar situation and it has been a difficult few months. This is far from who I am as a person and not something I am proud of. I take full responsibility for my actions. I have apologized to my beautiful wife that I have known and loved since high school. I appreciate and am thankful for the love and understanding from my family, friends and supporters. Now it is time to put this behind us and move forward.

The Kings also released a statement: "Domestic violence is a serious issue across our nation and one that runs contrary to our organization’s values. We’re disappointed by Darren’s behavior and today he accepted full responsibility for his actions. He is committed to using this incident to help raise awareness through education of this critical issue in the community. We’re working with Darren and the NBA on the appropriate next steps."

Collison is expected to start for the Sacramento Kings at point guard this season.

The New Orleans Pelicans made a strong run at signing Ty Lawson before he ultimately decided to join the Sacramento Kings.

The Pelicans are looking for depth in the backcourt behind Jrue Holiday and Tyreke Evans.

Lawson played for the Houston Rockets and Indiana Pacers last season.

The latest estimate of Golden 1 Center’s construction costs have increased to $556.6 million.

Costs have increased by $21.7 million in just one month.

The $556.6 million price represents a more than $79 million increase since the Kings broke ground in October 2014 on what was envisioned as a $477 million project.

The original estimate when proposed in 2013 was $447 million, bringing the total increase to $109 million.

With the city’s subsidy capped at $255 million, all the additional costs are coming from the Kings.

The Kings have maintained that the increases aren't cost overruns as much as the costs of design changes implemented since the initial proposal.
