The Kings struck out in their first attempt to land a restricted free agent.
Sacramento on Friday offered a four-year, $78 million offer sheet to guard Zach LaVine, but the Chicago Bulls quickly announced they would match the deal, then officially did so Sunday.
One restricted free agent who might make sense for the Kings is Rodney Hood, who finished last season with the Cleveland Cavaliers.
League sources said the Kings have shown interest in Hood, but the talks have not progressed to the point where an offer sheet is imminent.
