Ty Lawson to sign 1-year deal with Kings

Free-agent guard Ty Lawson has agreed to a one-year contract with the Sacramento Kings, according to league sources.

Lawson visited with Kings officials and coaches on Saturday in Sacramento and had planned to meet with New Orleans Pelicans officials early this week – until the Kings offered him a deal on Sunday.

Lawson averaged 5.8 points and 3.4 assists in 22.2 minutes a game for Houston last season.
