DeMarcus Cousins and Rudy Gay are among the regulars in the NBA trade rumor mills. Many believe that Boogie and Gay will be parting ways with Sacramento Kings in the upcoming NBA season. Reports are rife that both players are heading to different teams and will be playing against each other.
According to Sports Rageous, Rudy Gay will be hanging his purple and black jersey in the upcoming NBA season. Several teams in the NBA league are showing interests in signing Gay.
These teams include Houston Rockets, Minnesota Timberwolves and Brooklyn Nets. However, many believe that Kings will choose Rockets.
Per the report, Sacramento Kings is trading Rudy Gay to Houston Rockets for Trevor Ariza and K.J. McDaniels. Rockets are hopeful that with Gay on their roster, they can improve their offense in the upcoming NBA league.
Aside from the teams above, there are rumors that New York Knicks is eyeing Rudy Gay to upgrade their bench. Definitely, Sacramento Kings would not struggle to find a new home to their small forward.
Meanwhile, DeMarcus Cousins is another familiar name in the NBA trading rumor mills this offseason. Reports have it that despite Boogie's skills and flexibility, he is not a good fit in the Kings' lineup.
Well, just like Rudy Gay, a number of teams in the NBA league are showing their interest in signing DeMarcus Cousins. According to the Digital Journal, Boogie could possibly land to Toronto Raptors.
Per the report, Toronto Raptors have a great performance in the last three years of its NBA history. However, this time, the team is determined to win another NBA title and to make this happen, they need to add a basketball superstar on their roster.
DeMarcus Cousins is a two-time NBA All-Star. In addition, he just recently earned a gold medal in the 2016 Rio Olympics where he impressed many after hoarding several points in the Team USA versus China game.
With Rudy Gay and DeMarcus Cousins possibly joining different teams, the former running mates might find themselves playing against each other. This is not new in the NBA history, though. LeBron James and his best pal Dwyane Wade used to play for Miami Heat. James is currently playing for Cleveland Cavaliers while Wade just signed with Chicago Bulls.
