Carl Landry believes his second stint with the Sacramento Kings will be better -- and last longer -- than his first time around. With an aggressive new regime in place, Landry and the Kings agreed to a four-year deal worth at least $26 million on Saturday that will bring the power forward back to Californias capital city. Landrys agent, Mark Bartelstein, said that final details of the contract were still being worked out and it could reach $27 million over the life of the deal. He said Landry is excited to return to Sacramento under new owner Vivek Ranadive, who bought the franchise from the Maloof family in May. Teams must wait until July 10 to announce any moves during the NBAs free agency period. "Theyve got a great new ownership group thats committed to building a winner, and Carl was thrilled to be a part of it," Bartelstein said. "Carl loved the city before and the Kings made a strong push to get him back." Landry played parts of the 2009-10 and 2010-11 seasons with the Kings. He was a key piece in the three-team trade that sent Kevin Martin to the Houston Rockets, Tracy McGrady to the New York Knicks and Landry to Sacramento in 2010. The following season, the Kings dealt Landry to New Orleans for Marcus Thornton. The 29-year-old Landry averaged 10.8 points and six rebounds in 23.2 minutes off the bench to help the Warriors reach the second round of the playoffs last season. He opted out of the final year of his two-year, $8 million deal with Golden State last month to become a free agent. At the time, Bartelstein said his client was coming off a big season and it only made sense for him to hit the open market in hopes of landing a long-term deal. And indeed, he did. Landrys time with Golden State was officially sealed after the salary-cap strapped franchise agreed to terms with free agent Andre Iguodala on a four-year, $48 million deal Friday. Fellow Warriors free agent Jarrett Jack also agreed to a four-year, $25 million contract with Cleveland on Saturday. The final year of Jacks deal is a team option. Landry will be reunited in Sacramento with coach Mike Malone, who was an assistant with the Warriors the past two seasons. While he played mostly as a reserve for Golden State, its unclear what Landrys new role will be in Sacramento. The Kings frontcourt already includes centres DeMarcus Cousins and Chuck Hayes and forwards Patrick Patterson and Jason Thomspon. Joakim Nordstrom Gear . But when it comes to determining if Raymond will find a place on the Leafs roster when training camp concludes in a week, well, that decision will ultimately fall to the head coach. Cheap Carolina Hurricanes Jerseys .B. -- The Baie-Comeau Drakkar took over sole possession of first place atop the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League on Thursday with their sixth straight win. http://www.carolinahurricanesgear.com/ . What general manager Dave Nonis called "short and productive" negotiations ended with Kessel signing a US$64-million, eight-year contract on Tuesday. Cam Ward Gear . Despite dominating possession, Schalke needed an own goal from Nicolas Hoefler for the breakthrough a minute before the interval. The Freiburg midfielder misjudged Jefferson Farfans corner and bundled the ball into his own net. Noah Hanifin Gear . Meanwhile, there were huge victories for Sunderland and West Ham over fellow relegation rivals, leaving the battle to avoid the drop up for grabs with the bottom 11 teams separated by just six points. Eden Hazard and Fernando Torres scored second-half goals to seal a fourth straight victory for Chelsea, which climbed above Arsenal and Manchester City in the standings ahead of their games on Monday and Sunday respectively. DETROIT -- The Detroit Lions have failed to find any consistency on offense. Their opponent this week has been even worse.Both teams will be seeking better results when the Los Angeles Rams visit Detroit on Sunday.The Lions snapped a three-game losing streak by defeating the previously unbeaten Philadelphia Eagles 24-23 last Sunday despite gaining just 45 yards in the second half. Detroits offense failed to produce a touchdown the previous week against Chicagos injury-riddled defense.Quarterback Matthew Stafford did throw three first-half touchdown passes against the Eagles but is mindful that the Rams held Detroits offense to two scores in a 21-14 Lions loss last season in St. Louis.We played a team that was undefeated and was playing really well on defense. But each week presents a new challenge, he said. This week against the Rams is no different. They have a really talented defense and a smart defensive coordinator (Gregg Williams) who gives you a bunch of looks. It will be on us to adjust and move forward.Stafford was sacked four times by the Rams last season and thats a big concern for coach Jim Caldwell.They can rush the passer, he said. Theyve got guys that can get up the field. Everybody knows about (defensive tackle Aaron) Donald. Hes an inside rusher that can give you a lot of problems. But out on the edge you can just go on and on about those guys. Theres a lot of guys that can get up the field and they give you a lot of problems in terms of the looks they have.The Lions fortified their backfield by signing veteran Justin Forsett this week. Its uncertain how much hell play behind current starter Theo Riddick.Detroit (2-3) is hopeful of getting its top pass rusher, Ziggy Ansah, back in action after he missed the past three games with a high ankle sprain. Its likely to be without defensive tackle Haloti Ngata, who has a shoulder injury.The Rams (3-2) had a three-game winning streak snapped by the Buffalo Bills, 30-19. Quarterback Case Keenum threw for a season-high 271 yards but tossed two interceptions, including a pivotal pick-six with the score tied in the third quarter.ddddddddddddLos Angeles also failed to convert a fake punt at its 25-yard-line while trailing by four late in the game, allowing Buffalo to score a clinching touchdown.They created turnovers and made big plays in two situations, Rams coach Jeff Fisher said. We didnt get any turnovers and we gave up too many rushing yards.The Rams outgained the Bills 365-305, which Fisher saw as a sign of progress for an offense ranked last in average total yards (284.2) and tied for last with Houston in points (16.4 per game).Were getting better on third down, he said. We made some plays on third down, we had nine explosive plays against a really good defense and had 23 first downs. You can take the 32nd in the league and write all you want about it, but this offense is improving.Perhaps so, but the centerpiece to the attack cant find much room. Second-year back Todd Gurley is averaging 2.7 yards per carry and is still seeking his first 100-yard game this season.Gurley had 140 rushing yards and two touchdowns against Detroit last year.Dont be fooled by (his stats), Caldwell said. Im going to tell you something -- that guy is dangerous.The most consistent element of the offense has been kicker Greg Zuerlein, who has made all nine of his field-goal attempts and his seven extra-point tries.Greg is kicking really well right now, Fisher said. Id like for Greg to kick off and kick extra points. Hes hitting his field goals, but our touchdown-to-field goal ratio is not where it should be. We need touchdowns.Los Angeles defense took a big hit against Buffalo when top cornerback Trumaine Johnson suffered an ankle injury that will sideline him for this weeks game. Johnson returned an interception for a touchdown against Stafford and the Lions last season.Hell be replaced by second-year corner Troy Hill. The team added some depth by claiming Dwayne Gratz off waivers from Jacksonville.
