Earlier I posted about Rudy Gay’s frustrations with the Sacramento Kings. It’s been all over the media that the Kings are looking to trade Gay but he says they haven’t really had any good communication with him about what’s going on. Gay said he doesn’t really know what’s going on with the team and he doesn’t even know who their new players are. Now Kings general manager Vlade Divac has a response for Gay.
“He has my number,” Divac told CSN California. “If I do something, I will call him. Obviously, if I didn’t call him, we didn’t do anything.”
Divac has restructured the Kings roster in the offseason, bringing in eight new faces via the draft and free agency. Sources have confirmed that the Kings are shopping Gay and the team has fielded plenty of calls, but they have yet to find a deal that makes sense for the team.
“Look, I was a player, 16-17 years in the league, nobody called me everyday and tell me what management is doing,” Divac said. “Management was doing their job. If something big happened, they called and told me. Obviously, nothing big happened (so) I’m not going to call anybody.”
Gay, 29, is under contract with the Kings at $13.3 million this season and he has a player option for the 2017-18 season for $14.3 million.
