He averages 18.6 shot attempts per game and shoots 38.8 percent from the field, largely because he settles for jump shots instead of utilizing his athleticism. 2013, Prince and Austin Daye traded to the Memphis Grizzlies in a three-team trade which sent Rudy Gay and Hamed Haddadi to the Toronto Raptors and Jos. In his first full season with the Raptors, Gay has averaged 19.4 points, 7.4 rebounds and 2.2 assists, but he has done so inefficiently. They shipped Gay and his contract to Toronto last season, after which the Grizzlies proceeded to make the first Western Conference appearance in franchise history. Gay had a promising start to his career and pulled in a max contract of $82 million over five years, a deal the Memphis Grizzlies would come to regret. Their decision to withhold Gay is a sure sign the deal is already in place. The Raptors pulled Gay from the lineup prior to their Sunday matchup with the Los Angeles Lakers, a game in which Kobe Bryant was set to make his basketball return. In return, Sacramento will send John Salmons, Greivis Vasquez, Patrick Patterson and Chuck Hayes to Toronto. Gay will be traded to the Kings along with Quincy Acy and Aaron Gray. He has been pulled out of the Raptors lineup for tonight. Rudy Gay is headed to the Kings, league sources tell Yahoo Sports. Now that there is new management in Toronto, Gay, who has an outsized contract and offensive struggles, will be shipped to the Sacramento Kings, according to a Yahoo! Sports report. Former Toronto Raptors general manager Bryan Colangelo added Rudy Gay via trade in a last-ditch effort to save his fledgling franchise.
