Free Agency Series: Is Rudy Gay the Veteran We Need?
After only playing 30 games with the Sacramento Kings which was cut short by a season ending injury Rudy Gay chooses to opt out to his $14,263,566, in which he intend to look for a team that he can sign for a long term deal with a considerable salary cut. According to his manager he intends to play for a team that can giver him a long term contract or even a short term one to increase his value.
Timberwolves Will Get a Steal
Rudy Gay in his last 30 games played with Sacramento Kings averaged 18.7 PPG, 6.3 RPG, 2.8 APG, 1.5 SPG in just 33 Minutes on the court. Even thought he will become a 31 years old next season there is still a lot of fuel left in the tank. Also what I previously stated he is willing to accept a salary deduction in order to get a long term deal, sounds a Win-Win situation with the Timberwolves.
He Can Play a Stretch Four Position
Rudy Gay can playe the power forward position making our team have an option to play small ball, he is more athletic and explosive compared to Gorgui Dieng. We also have the option to bench either of them depending on what play Coach Thibodeau wants the team to play.
He Will Give Us A Lot of Cap Space Left
Previously stated on my earlier post the Timberwolves have a lot of Cap Space/Room to work with this Offseason with $33,877,654 to be exact signing Rudy Gay on the Team won't hurt the Cap Space too much because of what contract he wants. Playing on a long term deal on a budget the Timberwolves can sign a few extra pieces to improve the roster or can plan ahead with the extensions of our Stars with the Cap Space remaining with the team.
