The Bee's Marty McNeal got Geoff Petrie on the horn. Here's the result:

Some general managers get set on a roster early in the summer and don't get involved in trade talks until the season begins. Petrie isn't one of those: Several of his moves have come later than the usual rush (the Bonzi Wells trade, the Shareef Abdur-Rahim), and rumors have placed the Kings in trade talks into the preseason before (such as the Kenny Thomas-Desmond Mason talks two years ago, which I've been told by two people were really close to being consumated).
