Sacramento Kings' Rudy Gay has had NBA trade rumors buzzing after admission that the forward is unhappy. With continuous reports that the Sacramento Kings is trading Rudy Gay, who may join the New York Knicks, the forward has things to say about the route that the NBA trade rumors circled to him.
In an interview with Sac Town Royalty, Rudy Gay stated that the forward never had a formal discussion with the Sacramento Kings management before the NBA trade reports began. Instead, Rudy Gay found mostly learned of the Sacramento Kings' trade plans via the social media route.
Although unhappy about the lack of one on one discussion over NBA trade deals, Rudy Gay says he is looking for stability in his career and is not getting this with the Sacramento Kings. Rudy Gay further admits that the Sacramento Kings do not have much to go on at the moment except see how new coach Dave Joerger will turn things around.
Bleacher Report cites ESPN.com's Marc Stein on the Sacramento Kings' plan to trade guard Ben McLemore and center Kosta Koufos along with Rudy Gay. The media outlet says this lines up with reports that the Sacramento Kings are looking for a fresh roster in the coming season.

Sporting News cites a CSN California on the response of the Sacramento Kings vice president Vlade Divac to the comments made by Rudy Gay. "He has my number. If I do something, I will call him. Obviously, if I didn't call him, we didn't do anything," Divac said.
According to ESPN, the Chicago Bulls had been interested in Rudy Gay until talks fizzled but The Inquistr cites reports suggesting that if the Sacramento Kings want to trade Rudy Gay, the New York Knicks would be happy to step up. Like the Sacramento Kings, the New York Knicks have been busy redefining their roster for a more solid play in the next season and Rudy Gay could be that fit.
For now, the New York Knicks have not made any overture toward the Sacramento Kings on Rudy Gay. If the New York Knicks do Rudy Gay could find the stability that the forward is looking for after a Sacramento Kings trade.
