The Sacramento Kings are unlikely to reach a rookie-scale extension with guard Ben McLemore by the Oct. 31 deadline, league sources informed ESPN.This result would allow for the fourth-year guard to enter restricted free agency following the 2016-17 campaign.McLemore, 23, hasnt been in the ideal professional setting since the Kings took him with the seventh pick in the 2013 NBA draft. The Kings organization has been embedded in dysfunction, from ownership to abrupt coaching changes, and that revolving door has created a tumultuous locker room atmosphere.It is believed throughout NBA circles that McLemores best playing days would come in a different uniform; his name has been linked to much trade chatter the past few years.According to ESPNs Marc Stein -- before the Milwaukee Bucks traded away Michael Carter-Williams to the Chicago Bulls this week -- the Bucks proposed a trade that would have swapped Carter-Williams for McLemore, but the Kings rejected that proposition.If McLemore can put together a productive, consistent year, he would put himself in place for a lucrative payout in the offseason. For his career, he averages 9.7 points and shoots 35 percent from 3-point range. Khalil Mack Jersey .

RIO DE JANEIRO -- Tripped or not, it seems nothing can stop Mo Farah over 10,000 meters in a major championship.Not his training partner clipping his heel in the Olympic final. Not the assembled power of Kenyas best trying to wear him down. Not the final kick of his rival Paul Tanui. Farah proved again he is in a league all his own, now right up there with the greatest in history.In a thrilling Olympic final, the Somali-born British runner even had time to put his hands on top of his head in the trademark Mobot sign, as well-known to distance runners as Usain Bolts to the world move.Its never easy but everyone knows what I can do, Farah said. I thought about all my hard work, and that it could all be gone in a minute.Farah has three Olympic gold medals now from two Olympics and is preparing for the defense of his 5,000 title next week. A good bet considering he has gold in all major races over the distance going back to 2011.Although hed welcome a little simpler race next Saturday.All was going to plan early on in the 10,000, when Farah was safely running in the pack with his American training partner Galen Rupp. Then, after 10 laps Rupp clipped his heel and Farah was down.I bumped into him, there was a lot of pushing, Rupp said. Suddenly, Farahs path to a gold medal was significantly more difficult.It did take a lot out of me, Farah said in a post-race interview with the BBC. I kneew how hard Ive worked and I wasnt going to let that go.ddddddddddddThen the Kenyans chimed in. Farah is known for his unmatched finishing kick, so wearing him down is the only way to win. And after his comeback from the fall, they would perhaps stand a chance. Not this time.Even when three Kenyan tried to push away from the pack with spurts of acceleration, there was no shaking Farah off.It was hard to pick myself up, but I believed in myself and the work I went through, he said.He took the lead with one kilometer to go, and usually that means the race is over. Yet this time, Tanui would not let go.A bunch of four trailed Farah at the bell, and Tanui saw his chance down the back straight to finally break Farahs hold on long-distance racing.No way. Farah produced yet another comeback and once he swerved past Tanui going into the final straight, he might as well have started his victory lap. He won in 27 minutes, 5.17 seconds. Tanui held on for silver in 27:05.64 and Tamirat Tola of Ethiopia took bronze.He fell to the track at the finish, his face down, trying hard to take it all in.A back-to-back long-distance double at the Olympics is a feat not achieved since Finn Lasse Viren did it the 1970s.---Follow Raf Casert on Twitter at http://twitter.com/rcasert ' ' '
