Kings resign Songaila.
SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- The Sacramento Kings re-signed forward Darius Songaila Friday, according to Kings President of Basketball Operations Geoff Petrie.
“I’m looking forward to having Darius back next season,” Petrie said in a news release. “He proved himself to be a solid contributor for our team last season. I feel he has a great future in the league. I’m looking forward to him continuing to help us succeed. I think that his game and contribution will continue to grow with our team.”  |

Great to hear that he is signed. I heard on the radio this morning that Eastern Conference teams (Nets, Celtics) were interested in him and signing him wasn't a sure thing.

I am pretty sure that I heard that the deal is 2 year/ 3.5 million and the 2nd year is a player option.

Lithuanian TV news reported that it's 2 years/ 3.5mln deal and 3rd year is player or team option. They can easily be wrong on this.

One lithuanian TV news program reported that his agent "had better offers financially from other teams, but Darius wanted to show loyalty to the team that gave him a chance."

Agent Mark Bartelstein said Songaila's deal will start at $1.6 million this season. Another $1.76 million will be available in 2005-2006 if he accepts his option.
"He'll have the player option after the first year," Bartelstein said of the 6-9, 250-pounder. "There was a lot of interest in him, but he wanted to come back here. Darius really liked playing in Sacramento and playing for (coach) Rick (Adelman). He was offered considerably more years and money, but wanted to play for the Kings.
"He rolled the dice a little bit, but I think he's going to get an opportunity to play and show what he can do and I think there will be a lot of interest in him next year if he decides to opt out (after this season).
"Darius did what a lot of players don't do. It's not that he doesn't feel like money is important because he does. ... It's a testament to (Kings President of Basketball Operations) Geoff (Petrie) and Rick."
Petrie said Bartelstein told him Songaila could have earned more money playing elsewhere.
"Mark did mention that to me," said Petrie, whose Kings will have 10 players under contract once Songaila's paperwork is completed. "... I am really glad that we got the deal done."

Songaila will remain with Kings
