Carl Landry, who was traded last season from Houston to Sacramento, knows a deal could be coming by next Thursday since a lot of teams have interest in his talent and reasonable cap hit of $3 million. Landry would prefer to stay in Sacramento, however, he is prepared for anything. "It's a date on everybody's calendar where it's pretty much circled," Landry told The Sacramento Bee. "Everybody wants to be a part of this team right now; everybody wants to win. And you just never know." Landry has not talked to the Kings about a potential trade, but his agent Aaron Smith, has on a few occasions. "It is what it is," Landry said. "If I'm here, I'm here. If I'm not, I'm not. My dream was always to play in the NBA and never for the Kings or the Bulls or the New York Knicks. Hopefully I'm here. If not, I've got to keep working." Landry, who is set to become a free agent on July 1, is a solid backup and any team looking to strengthen their bench at power forward will probably call the Kings and make an offer for him. -- Nick Borges
