So let's take a closer look at this rumor. If the right deal materializes, however, he could be moved. For all his flaws, Gay is still a productive player in his prime who causes no locker room issues and can play two positions. His rebounding has improved now that he's playing more power forward, but the Kings are still better when he's on the bench, specially on defense.Īccording to Stein, the Kings won't trade Gay for just anyone, which makes sense. He's averaging the fewest points per game since his rookie season, while his three-point shooting percentage is down.

The news isn't exactly surprising, as Gay is far from untouchable. The Sacramento Kings are willing to trade Rudy Gay if it brings back a quality return, according to ESPN's Marc Stein.
