Last last night, International Basketball Woj David Pick reported that the Kings are trying to 'lure' Nick Calathes out of his star role in Athens and more specifically, Panathinaikos, the same team that new Kings rookie Georgios Papagiannis played for last year.

'Lure' being the optimal word there, as Calathes signed a three-year deal with Panathinaikos in 2015, which only complicates the Kings' quest to get him over here. Without knowing the exact details of Calathes’ contract, it’s unknown how difficult or costly this would be to the Kings, Calathes, or Panathinaikos.
