Terrence Williams is hoping for a quick resolution to his impending free agency.

After being unable to secure consistent minutes with the Nets and Rockets, Williams became a key player with the Kings during the final month of the season.

Sacramento values the ability of Williams as a passer.

Williams would prefer to re-sign with Sacramento.

"I don't want nothing to be drawn out until August, September or anything like that," Williams said of free agency. "I want to get it over with."

Williams averaged 8.8 points, 4.1 rebounds and 3.1 assists in 18 games.

"I'm looking forward to (free agency), but at the same time, I want it to be over," Williams said. "I'm hoping me and Sacramento come to a good deal for a couple a years and just take it from there. At the end of the day, you want to be wanted."

The Kings will extend the qualifying offer to Jason Thompson to make him a restricted free agent.

Thompson would receive a salary of approximately $4.1 million if he ends up accepting if he doesn't sign a multi-year offer.

Sacramento is most likely to keep Thompson out of their 2012 free agent lot.

Donte Green and Terrence Williams will also be free agents.

"I can't predict the future, but for now it's clear they want me to stay here," Thompson said.

Thompson began the season behind Chuck Hayes and J.J. Hickson on the depth chart, but his consistency eventually won him the job.

"Who knew what would have happened at the start of the season?" Thompson said. "Us signing Chuck, trading for J.J., having Cuz (DeMarcus Cousins) already on the team and maybe re-signing Sammy (Dalembert), and all that type of stuff. … I never put my head down and never tried to let it show on the court. I just tried to go out there with an open mind and be solid."

Sacramento mayor Kevin Johnson said a potential deal between the city and the Maloof family is dead.

The two sides ended two days of discussions over financing of a new arena.

The Maloof family recently backed out of a tentative $391 million deal.

"I'm disappointed for Sacramento," Johnson said. "When you do all that you can, normally the reward is a victory, and I think our community was planning to win."

"We know this door is closed," Johnson told the Sacramento Bee.

Sacramento will shift to "Plan B", which involves seeking a new arena without the Kings.

"The Kings will continue the operations of the organization and building on the franchise's young nucleus of players," Maloof spokesman Eric Rose said in a statement.

The Kings will evaluate trade proposals for Tyreke Evans this summer, according to a report.

Evans has spent heavy minutes at small forward and has struggled to adjust to playing off the ball.

"I don't think it's any big secret," Princeton legend and longtime Kings consultant Pete Carril said. "Tyreke's got to learn to play without the ball. It's all there. I see some games, and he looks very good. Other games … he just has to work harder. I'd love to see him develop a mid-range game."

Evans, who is shooting 44.2 percent from the floor, recently voiced his concerns over the way the Kings have handled his this season.

Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson had a 'cordial' meeting with George Maloof on Friday in Las Vegas.

"I can't look at the Maloofs and their family as part of the problem; they have to be viewed as part of the solution," Johnson said during a courtside news conference at halftime of Friday's game. "I think we both walked away feeling very good."

The meeting may be a signal that the two sides are interesting in restarting talks about a new arena.

Johnson said he received important insight from George Maloof as to why the family pulled out of the deal.

"I always felt we had a deal," the mayor said. "They felt they had a different scenario. They felt the (revenue) numbers were aggressive for AEG (the planned arena operator) and the NBA, and those were all things he told me to my face." 

The Kings have several heavy usage players, which makes the presence of Terrence Williams all the more intriguing.

Williams has always been more of a facilitator than a scorer. His presence has made the need for a traditional point guard to lessen for the Kings.

"On every team, whether you're little or big, the mindset is to score," Williams said. "But that isn't me. I always wanted to be Magic (Johnson)."

Sacramento signed Williams for the remainder of the season in late March after he was waived by Houston.

Williams will be a free agent this summer.

"Terrence finds people in their rhythm," said Keith Smart, "and that's not an easy thing to do."

The Kings are unlikely to offer Tyreke Evans a maximum extension this summer unless he displays significant improvement over the remaining part of the season.

"(Evans has) already proven he's a very good player," Kings basketball president Geoff Petrie said. "Going forward for his game to continue to grow, he's got to continue to work on areas of his game that need improvement."

Petrie declined to discuss the Kings' plans for Evans, saying a decision won't be made until after the season.

"Before going public (with talks), you should have the private ones first," Petrie said.

Evans, for his part, would like to re-up with the Kings.

"I like it here," Evans said. "I got drafted here, so I'd really like to be here. But I've got to wait and see what happens. You'll never know what's going to happen."

The Maloofs have their "focus still on Anaheim" and a relocation of the Kings as soon as the 13-14 season, according to a basketball official close to the situation.

The Honda Center in Anaheim is currently in the process of a multimillion dollar upgrade.

The NBA has worked with the city of Sacramento to keep the Kings from relocating.

Anaheim is poised to become a possible home for the Kings if an arena deal in Sacramento continues to fall through.

But officials from Anaheim say they are not communicating with the NBA at this point even though they remain ready and optimistic that they will eventually land a team.

Councilwoman Lorri Galloway said she had spoken recently with Kings’ co-owner George Maloof, and “I personally reminded him that Anaheim wouldn’t charge any pre-development fees.”

A deal for a new arena in Sacramento is falling apart, which could allow the Kings to move out of the area.

The Maloof family has raised objections over certain aspects of the deal.

"It just feels like they were coming up with reasons of why not to do the deal," Sacramento mayor Kevin Johnson said.

David Stern stressed the deal was "always nonbinding," and he supported the Maloofs' decision to say they were no longer comfortable with its terms.

"I think it's fair for the Maloofs to say they don't want to do that," Stern said during a news conference after two days of owners meetings. "If they had done it simpler, earlier or more directly, it could have saved a lot of angst and trouble."

The two sides reached a tentative deal last month to fund the estimated $391 million arena that would open for the 2015-16 season in the downtown Sacramento rail yards. 

The Kings are scheduled to play at Power Balance Pavilion next season, but their future after that is unclear.
