From Rich Hammond of Inside the Kings,
...now I have much more detail on the situation with Patrick O’Sullivan. The Kings have requested that he not attend training camp until a deal is done. Lombardi explains, in the interview, why that’s the case. Second, when asked directly for an update on the contract negotiations, Lombardi said, ``We’re not very close. That’s the truth.’’

I don’t understand why this is taking so long on the Kings’ part. I get that they can’t agree on what LA considers fair value for a long-term contract because he hasn’t played on a good team, but why not just throw money at him for a year and give him a chance to prove he deserves more?
Either he plays well enough to deserve as much as he is asking for long-term, or he plays poorly enough that the team has leverage for paying him less. They won’t have problems for a year to pay him more than they might want to each year on a longer contract.
This has been dragging on at a snail’s pace - if the snail was under sedation.
