Kings trade Nik Stauskas, Carl Landry and Jason Thompson to 76ers

The Sacramento Kings cleared about $16 million in salary-cap space on Wednesday night, unloading two significant contracts onto the Philadelphia 76ers, according to league sources.

The Kings traded forwards Carl Landry and Jason Thompson and 2014 No. 8 overall draft pick Nik Stauskas to the 76ers for the rights to overseas players and a future second-round draft pick, sources said.

The Kings will send the Sixers a protected future first-round draft pick as part of the deal.
