"I'm disappointed that I had to get an offer sheet from another team," LaVine told ESPN's The Undefeated. "But Sacramento stepped up and made a strong impression. It appears that Sacramento wants me more than Chicago."
LaVine was limited to just 24 games last season after he tore his ACL in February 2017. He returned in mid-January and averaged 16.7 points and 3.9 rebounds.
LaVine was originally drafted by the Timberwolves with the 13th pick in the 2014 NBA Draft. He spent his first three seasons in Minnesota before he was sent to Chicago as part of the Jimmy Butler trade in June 2017.
LaVine has averaged 14 points and 3.2 assists over his four-year NBA career.
The Kings finished 2017-18 with a 27-55 record and missed the playoffs for a 12th straight season.
