Without a pick in either round, the Kings didn't have much to offer in the NBA draft, but they're ready to make coach Rick Adelman an offer he apparently will not refuse.

The Maloof family ownership group and Adelman are close to agreeing on a three-year contract extension. Adelman, who has been the Kings' coach for the past five seasons and compiled a 245-132 record (.650), is entering the final season of a two-year deal.

"It's something we've been working on for a while -- probably for about the past 10 days to two weeks, and we're pretty far along," Geoff Petrie, the Kings' president of basketball operations, said Thursday night after watching the draft. "I'd say we may have something more to say about it in the next few days."

Joe Maloof said that the family appreciated Adelman's production and performance but also his class and loyalty during the past few months, when the NBA coaching circle turned into a carousel for dollars.

"This is something we initiated," Maloof said. "Gavin and I believe he's done a great job, and we support Rick and wanted to show that we appreciated that he's done well.
