MIAMI -- The Sacramento Kings are involved in serious trade talks involving forward Carl Landry and did not play him in Tuesday's 117-96 loss to the Miami Heat.

"We're involved in some fairly significant discussions," Kings coach Paul Westphal said. "We thought it was prudent not to play him tonight."

Landry was traded from Houston to Sacramento just before last year's trade deadline in a three-team deal that sent Tracy McGrady to the Knicks and Kevin Martin to the Rockets. Landry is in the final year of a contract that pays him $3 million this season.

"I've been there before, right now I'm happy to be a King," Landry said. "I'll give my agent a call. Right now it's all talk."

Landry is averaging 11.9 points and 4.8 rebounds. Tuesday was his first missed game of the season.
