Within a few hours, the Kings may have swooped up two players who had just backed out of deals with other NBA teams and re-entered free agency.
Days after Nemanja Bjelica reportedly reneged on a verbal agreement with the Philadelphia 76ers, saying that he wants to stay in Europe, the 6-foot-10 Serbian forward instead agreed to a deal with the Kings, team spokesman Chris Clark confirmed Friday evening.
A league source confirmed Wednesday that the Kings reached out to the free agent after his one-year deal with Philadelphia fell through. Bjelica has reportedly agreed to a three-year, $20.
