SACRAMENTO, Calif. — The Sacramento Kings have a deal with guard Aaron Brooks, a graduate of Franklin High School in Seattle who played in China last season.

The Phoenix Suns withdrew their qualifying offer to Brooks on July 7, making the 27-year-old an unrestricted free agent. The Sacramento Bee reported his contract would be for two years and worth about $3 million this season.

Brooks was acquired by Phoenix from Houston at the 2011 trade deadline. He was the league's most improved player in the 2009-10 season, when he posted NBA career-best averages of 19.6 points and 5.3 assists for Houston.

Brooks played in 41 games last season for the Guandong Southern Tigers and averaged a team-high 22.3 points.

Meanwhile, the Kings got forward James Johnson in a trade with Toronto; they gave up a 2014 second-round draft pick.

Knicks face decision on Lin

NEW YORK — The New York Knicks have until Tuesday night to match a three-year, $25.1 million offer to popular point guard Jeremy Lin or lose him to Houston.

The offer devised by the Rockets has a $14.98 million balloon payment in the final year, a provision that could cost the Knicks three times that amount in luxury-tax penalties.
