Chimezie Metu and the Phoenix Suns have agreed to a one-year deal. 

Meet had been with the Sacramento Kings since 2020.

Trey Lyles has agreed to re-sign with the Sacramento Kings on a two-year, $16 million deal.

Harrison Barnes has agreed to a three-year, $54 million extension with the Sacramento Kings.

Barnes joined the Kings from the Dallas Mavericks via trade in 2019 and then signed a four-year, $85 million extension.

The deal includes a 10 percent trade kicker. 

Barnes played in all 82 games this past season for the Kings, averaging 15.1 points, 4.5 rebounds and 1.6 assists.

The Houston Rockets appear to have the edge in signing Kyle Kuzma in free agency, sources tell Chris Haynes of Bleacher Report.

Kuzma also is expected to receive interest from the Sacramento Kings, who cleared cap space on draft night. The Utah Jazz were also previously linked with Kuzma, but they traded for John Collins this week, which creates a positional logjam in the frontcourt.

The Rockets figure to be one of the more aggressive teams in free agency.

The Sacramento King picked up Kessler Edwards' $1.9 million team option for next season, sources told Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN.

Edwards averaged 4.0 points and 2.2 rebounds in 21 games with the Kings last season. 

Jordi Fernandez has been hired has head coach of the Canadian national basketball program.

Fernandez, who is also associate head coach of the Sacramento Kings, replaces Nick Nurse. The Philadelphia 76ers hired Nurse as head coach this offseason after his five-year run as head coach of the Toronto Raptors. 

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Jamal Murray, RJ Barrett and Dillon Brooks are amongst the players that could play for Canada.

Fernandez was a head coaching candidate for a number of jobs this offseason.

The Sacramento Kings have the capacity to sign Domantas Sabonis to a renegotiate-and-extend deal after creating cap space on draft night.

Sources say the deal is expected to be in the range of $120 million over four seasons. Sabonis is coming off a four-year, $74.9 million extension signed with the Indiana Pacers in 2019.

Sabonis was an All-NBA center in his first full season with the Kings.

Jason Ranne and Greg Lawrence of Wasserman represent Sabonis. 

With the Sacramento Kings creating cap space on draft night, there has been "momentum" about a pursuit of Kyle Kuzma in free agency.

Even with a new renegotiate-and-extend deal for Domantas Sabonis, the Kings could have $25 million in cap space.

The Kings nearly acquired Kuzma in 2021 before the Los Angeles Lakers pivoted to a Russell Westbrook trade.

Kuzma has also been linked with the Utah Jazz, but they acquired John Collins via trade. The Jazz now have a logjam in the frontcourt that makes them unlikely to pursue a player at Kuzma's position.

The Sacramento Kings could offer Domantas Sabonis a contract extension with a renegotiate-and-extend deal, a source tells James Ham.

The Kings created $12 million in cap space by trading away the No. 24 pick and Richaun Holmes to the Dallas Mavericks.

The new CBA allows teams to extend players at 140 percent of their salary. If the Kings increase his salary from $22 million to $30 million, they could then offer a four-year extension worth approximately $189 million, plus the extra money for 23-24.

If Sabonis doesn't agree to an extension, he is set to become a free agent in 2024.

The Dallas Mavericks have acquired Richaun Holmes from the using the Traded Player Exception they acquired from the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Dallas also acquired the draft rights to Olivier-Maxence Prosper at No. 24.

The Kings are believed to be creating salary flexibility with the trade.
