Israeli swingman Omri Casspi and Cameroon forward Luc Richard Mbah a Moute have signed deals with the Sacramento Kings, the NBA club announced.
Vlade Divac, a retired Serbian star now serving as the Kings vice president of basketball operations, announced the deals Tuesday for Kings boss Vivek Ranadive, the NBA's first India-born club owner.
Casspi, 27, reportedly signed a two-year contract worth $6 million while terms for Mbah a Moute, 28, were not known.
Casspi averaged 19.9 points, 5.8 rebounds and 2.9 assists in eight late-season games last April for the Kings, although his full season averages were only 8.9 points, 3.9 rebounds and 1.5 assists.
The 2009 first-round NBA Draft selection of Sacramento, Casspi, played two seasons with the Kings, two more in Cleveland and another in Houston before being traded to the New Orleans Pelicans, who released him. He has career averages of 7.9 points, 3.9 rebounds and 1.1 assists a game.
Mbah a Moute played nine games for the Kings in 2013 before being traded to Minnesota. Last season, he played for the Philadelphia 76ers, averaging 9.9 points, 4.9 rebounds and 1.6 assists.
Over 466 NBA games, 300 as a starter, Mbah a Moute has averaged 6.8 points, 4.9 rebounds and one assist a game.
