During that span, Gay was able to average 19.3 points per game while shooting 46.4% from the floor, 34.7% from the perimeter, and 83.3% from the free-throw line ( per Basketball Reference). In the 223 games that Gay has played for Sacramento, he was a great offensive scorer.
Rudy gay jazz contract free#
Because there is a good likelihood that Gay can make more money playing for a more competitive team makes me think he will become a free agent this summer. I do think that Kings fans have seen the last of Rudy Gay on their beloved team. I mean, Wesley Matthews faced the same situation as Rudy back in 2015, and he still was able to sign a 4 year/$70 million contract with the Dallas Mavericks in a lower NBA market. Even coming off an Achilles injury, I think Gay could be offered a contract around the $15-20 million range per season. I think there is a team that would pay Rudy good money to have him join their team. With the NBA cap salary increasing by the season, teams are opening up their wallets to the max to have players join their organizations. Not only do I think that Gay is looking to be on a more competitive squad, but there is also the possibility that he can make more money being a free agent than what he is due to make with Sacramento. He is currently 30 years of age, so in my opinion, he might be looking to play for a team that can at least compete in the playoffs. In my opinion, I think it is inevitable that Gay becomes a free agent in the next couple of months. Gays deal also reportedly contains a player option.
