The Kings earlier in the free agency period, agreed to terms with point guard Darren Collison on a three-year deal. With the arrival of Thomas, the Suns now have a heavy backcourt that consists of Thomas, Goran Dragic, and Eric Bledsoe (also a restricted free agent).

In return, the Kings will receive Alex Oriakhi and approximately $7 million trade exception.
