12:52 – Wojo reporting Kings trying to use leak of potential 7th pick trade to bait Spurs?
"There’s sense Kings could be leveraging Spurs with leak of possible deal in place for 7th pick. Kings don’t want Jefferson in Parker deal."

"Several teams believe the San Antonio Spurs’ desire to get the Sacramento Kings’ pick at No. 7 centers on a desire to draft Valanciunas as a future replacement for Tim Duncan, and now Cleveland must draft Valanciunas at the No. 4 spot, or risk losing him all together."
10:30 – Ken Berger says Kings split on Jimmer and Burks, but also moving the pick to Denver could still happen:
"The Kings are known to be split between Jimmer Fredette and Alec Burks. Execs aren’t sure who Denver is targeting, but it could be Burks of Colorado."
9:00 – Chad Ford mentions Cavs looking at Kings 7th pick:
"In that scenario, the Sacramento Kings and the Detroit Pistons look like the most intriguing potential partners. Would the Kings be willing to give up the No. 7 pick if the Cavs gave them Ramon Sessions and took back Francisco Garcia? The Kings are already under the salary cap, but Garcia has $12 million over two years on his contract, and Sacramento would love to move him."
8:45 – Sam Amick mentions Kings have looked into Monta Ellis along with Andre Miller. Looking to move pick?
"They have considered other options, among them Portland point guard Andre Miller and Golden State guard Monta Ellis. And with the way the situation sounded late Wednesday night, I would be surprised if Sacramento keeps the seventh pick."
8:09 – Chad Ford says Brandon Knight could still fall to Sacramento:
"The Raptors love Brandon Knight, but would they take Bismack Biyombo even if Knight is on the board at No. 5? I’m hearing it’s a real possibility.If Knight doesn’t go fifth, there’s almost no chance he gets past Sacramento at No. 7. If that’s the case, then Kemba Walker could be in for that Jimmer-Kemba showdown in Utah at No. 12."
