Sources close to the Pacers say there is significant interest from Sacramento in Troy Murphy.

The Kings are pursuing a straight up deal centered around the expiring contract of Kenny Thomas ($8.5 million).

Indiana would surely push to include at least one of the Kings prospects such as Donte Greene.

There is some hope, according to NBA front-office sources, for a three-way deal that is currently in the exploratory-discussion phase.

Sources told ESPN.com that the Philadelphia 76ers and Sacramento Kings, in considering the feasibility of a Samuel Dalembert-for-Kenny Thomas swap, have discussed expanding that concept with Boston by trying to draw in the Celtics on a potential three-way deal that would land Andres Nocioni with the Celts.

Sources further stressed over the past 48 hours that this should be classified as an ongoing conversation as the teams involved decide how much they like what is on the table.

But the full deal as it stands, if it eventually gets that far, would send Nocioni to Boston, Kenny Thomas, Tony Allen and Brian Scalabrine to Philadelphia and Dalembert and J.R. Giddens to Sacramento.

The Kings and Hornets are discussing a deal that would send Emeka Okafor to Sacramento.

The proposed swap would send forward Kenny Thomas to News Orleans. The Hornets would be inclined to agree to the deal because Thomas has an expiring contract worth $8.7 million.

However, the Kings have to be willing to take the five years and $62.5 million remaining on Okafor’s deal.
