Could Marcus Smart be headed to the Kings? A Sacramento beat writer doesn't think so.

One day after NBC Sports Boston reported that the Kings were preparing an offer for Smart after losing out on fellow restricted free agent Zach LaVine, Jason Jones of the Sacramento Bee threw cold water on the rumor, writing that he was told it was not true.

With reports that Smart and Danny Ainge exchanged playful greetings at summer league on Monday night, and no other offers materializing, perhaps Smart is looking at accepting the Celtics' $6.1 million qualifying offer, playing out the year, and becoming an unrestricted free agent next summer.
