Swingman Omri Casspi is staying with the Sacramento Kings, and forward Luc Richard Mbah a Moute is joining him.
Kings vice president of basketball and franchise operations Vlade Divac announced the signing of the two free agents in a press release Tuesday.
Casspi got a two-year, $6 million deal, multiple media outlets reported. Terms of Mbah a Moute’s deal were not known.
Casspi, a 27-year-old from Israel, got better late in the 2014-15 season, averaging 19.9 points, 5.8 rebounds and 2.9 assists in eight April games. For the season, he averaged 8.9 points, 3.9 rebounds and 1.5 assists.
The Kings’ first-round draft pick in 2009, Casspi spent two seasons in Sacramento before playing two seasons with the Cleveland Cavaliers and one with Houston. The Rockets dealt him to New Orleans last summer, and the Pelicans waived him in July. He subsequently re-signed with Sacramento.
In 394 career NBA games, Casspi is averaging 7.9 points, 3.9 rebounds and 1.1 assists.
Mbah a Moute is back in Sacramento, as he played nine games (five starts) with the Kings at the start of the 2013-14 season. He then was dealt to the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Last season, Mbah a Moute played 67 games (61 starts) for the Philadelphia 76ers, averaging 9.9 points, 4.9 rebounds and 1.6 assists.
Over 466 NBA games (300 starts), Mbah a Moute averages 6.8 points, 4.9 rebounds and one assist.
