If the report is accurate, it does make some sense. Source: NBA AM: Fixing The Sacramento Kings' Culture | Basketball Insiders | NBA Rumors And Basketball News There is a sense among league insiders that the Kings are not looking for a ton in return for Gay, so that may make finding a deal a little easier even with all the issues surrounding a deal. League sources say while there are teams that have expressed interest in Gay - most notably the Houston Rockets - getting anything of real value back on what could be a one-year rental at Gay's price tag is hard math to make work. The problem with trading Gay, who is owed $13.333 million this season, is that the Kings would have to take back some level of salary in the deal and find a team open to taking on Gay in what could be a one-year rental. Even if the bar for return is low, Basketball Insiders reports that the Rockets have expressed interest in Gay: An issue there is a lack of tradeable assets for Miami. Gay has reportedly made it clear that he wants to go to Miami. He's one of the few assets that the team isn't invested in long-term that has trade value, and with Gay able to become a free agent next summer thanks to a player option, there's a timeline on it. The Kings have been trying to trade Rudy Gay for nearly a year now.
