Sixers Stauskas, Landry will face old Kings teammates

SALT LAKE CITY - With straight faces, Nik Stauskas and Carl Landry said they did not have any hard feelings toward the Sacramento Kings.

It would be understandable and perhaps even a little bit more believable if they said otherwise.

Stauskas and Landry are 76ers for one reason: The Kings gave up them.

The Western Conference team basically wrote off Stauskas as a solid NBA talent less than a year after selecting him eighth overall in the 2014 NBA draft. And Sacramento sent Landry away so the team could free up salary-cap space to lure free agents.
