SACRAMENTO, Calif. - Carl Landry knows his time in Sacramento might be nearing an end.
But contrary to popular opinion, that isn't necessarily the way he wants it.
The Kings forward has been the subject of trade discussions for months now, with the logic behind such chatter two-fold. Despite the in-house hype that surrounded him after he was traded from Houston last February in the deal that sent Kevin Martin to the Rockets, the additions of DeMarcus Cousins and Samuel Dalembert in the offseason meant Landry might not be a building block in this castle after all.
Secondly, his looming free agency has made him a prime candidate to be moved, with sources insisting for months that Landry -- who's being paid $3 million in the final season of his contract -- had little-to-no interest in returning to Sacramento. The Kings, in turn, were faced with the option of getting something for him now rather than losing him for nothing in return later. Landry, however, doesn't see it that way.
"I love it here," Landry told me last week. "I love the city, love the community, definitely love the fans. Without a doubt (he would consider signing with the Kings this summer)."
