The Sacramento Kings are planning to re-sign guard David Stockton to a multi-year contract before the end of their season.

Stockton previously was on a 10-day contract with the Kings in February.

Stockton has spent most of the season in the D-League with the Reno Bighorns.

Vlade Divac has emerged as the new lead voice of the front office of the Sacramento Kings.

Divac was recently hired by the Kings under the seemingly broad title of vice president of basketball and franchise operations.

The Kings have yet to formally announce their new power structure, but sources say that Divac has supplanted both general manager Pete D'Alessandro and former Kings adviser Chris Mullin.

The future of D'Alessandro in Sacramento, especially after the departure of his closest ally in the organization in Mullin, is unclear. Sources say, however, that the Kings have already launched a search to add another front-line basketball executive to work alongside Divac whether D'Alessandro stays or departs.

Sources say that Mullin began to lose sway with Ranadive after refusing the owner's offer to replace Mike Malone as coach when Malone was abruptly fired in mid-December.

The Sacramento Bee reported earlier this month that Ranadive hired Divac over the objections of Mullin and D'Alessandro.

Carl Landry has been suspended one game without pay for leaving the bench area during an altercation, the NBA announced.

The incident occurred with 6:10 remaining in the fourth quarter of the Utah Jazz's 101-95 win over the Kings on Sunday.

Landry will serve his suspension on Tuesday, when the Kings host the Minnesota Timberwolves.

The Denver Nuggets discussed trades involving Ty Lawson at the deadline and sources said they sought multiple first round picks.

The Utah Jazz will own a lottery pick and could include another asset to move the needle for the Nuggets to trade Lawson.

Lawson is just 27 and has experience playing at high altitude.

The Sacramento Kings and Boston Celtics could also make a play for Lawson.

The Sacramento Kings will sign Sim Bhullar to a 10-day contract.

Bhullar will become the first player of Indian descent in league history.

Bhullar has spent the entire season with the Reno Bighorns, Sacramento's affiliate in the NBA Development League, after going to training camp with the Kings.

Bhullar is a 7-foot-5 center out of New Mexico State.
