The Kings have lost eight of nine games after a strong start to the season.

"We're disappointed," Kings co-owner Joe Maloof said, "but we're not panicking. The defense is much better, and if we start making shots, we'll win some of these games.

"Let's get 25 games into the season and then we'll have a better sense of where we are."

The Kings have inquired about Atlanta's Jeff Teague and Houston's Aaron Brooks, according to a report in The Sacramento Bee.
