May Had Offer From Cleveland

Sean May, who joined the Kings last week, spoke with HoopsHype about his other suitors.

"I did have an offer from Cleveland. We were also taking to Portland, but no offer on the table from them," May told the web site.

May had injury and weight issues during his time in Charlotte, but feels as though he'll be a perfect fit in Sacramento.

"Just because I liked the fact that Sacramento is a young team, with a lot of young guys that are also talented. They have a new staff coming in," May added. "They've always had great fan support and the community there is great. It was just a good fit. The other teams I worked out for, sure I could have gone there. I just thought it was a better opportunity in Sacramento."

Hawes Apologizes For Missing Summer League

Spencer Hawes has apologized to the Kings for not playing on their summer league team.

"The biggest thing was poor communication on my end," the center said on Thursday.

"I definitely could have handled it better. If I (ticked) people off, I apologize. I couldn't be there for the first few days because of another commitment, but I planned on coming after that. Then when it all blew up, I just would have been a distraction. I have to take responsibility for that. But the key is I've spoken with the coaches and Geoff Petrie and we put it behind us."
