Songaila's agent, Mark Bartelstein, said it's likely the reserve will opt out of his contract before the June 30 deadline. Songaila, entering his third season, has a player option on the deal that would pay him $1.76 million in 2005-06. He was the 10th-highest paid King last season.

Mobley, meanwhile, announced Friday on Fox Sports Network that he planned to decline his player option for next season.

Mobley averaged 17.8 points per game and shot 44 percent as a King. Songaila averaged 7.5 points and 4.2 rebounds last season.

Songaila and Mobley would be the first departures among the at-risk Kings. Center Greg Ostertag has said he will return, exercising the option on his contract worth $4.4 million. Guards Maurice Evans and Eddie House are free agents who have yet to be addressed, and Petrie has said that the Kings will pick up the team option for guard Bobby Jackson.

Weird. Mobley must really be against playing in Sacramento, because he's not going to attract the same attention as fellow FA wings like Ray Allen, Joe Johnson, Michael Redd, and Larry Hughes.
