Chris Webber is engaged in talks with Roger Stewart of Coeur d'Alene, Idaho to keep the Kings in Sacramento.

Webber and Coeur d'Alene are attempting "restructure" the city's $77 million loan to the club. Kings executive vice-president Greg Van Dusen confirmed Webber’s efforts.

"We've been working on this for about three months," said Van Dusen. "The idea is to relieve some of the financial pressure on the Maloofs and the ownership group. Roger had a very positive conversation today (Tuesday) with Chris, who isn't only interested in helping, he wants to lead the effort to keep the Kings here. He loves Sacramento and thinks this is where the Kings belong."

Webber has apparently made overtures about buying into the Maloofs' majority ownership, but has been rebuffed.
