Lyles’ minutes have been inconsistent this season in a contract year - he was a starter for a short time just before and after the All-Star break, but has been a DNP-CD for the Spurs’ last five games.
RUDY GAY RUMORS FREE
Fischer reports that the Knicks have considered trying to acquire the veteran guard, though some people in their front office don’t want to give up assets for players who could be signed in free agency. While the Spurs don’t typically make big in-season deals, it sounds like they’re at least gauging what they could get for DeRozan on the trade market. Sources tell Fischer that DeRozan, who is earning $27.7MM in the final season of his five-year contract, has interest in playing elsewhere next season, perhaps returning to the Eastern Conference. The trade deadline in the NBA is February 18.In addition to putting LaMarcus Aldridge on the trade block, the Spurs have also made it clear that veteran guard DeMar DeRozan is available, according to Jake Fischer of Bleacher Report. Rudy Gay is averaging 17.9 PPG and 6.8 RPG so far this season for the Kings. And Gay may not be the best fit on the court or financially for the Heat. These are all valid questions to consider. But is he going to fit into the compliment of the team well? And does a mid-season move really help this team as they continue to gel and get better? He can score and is long on defense and more athletic than Luol Deng.
Rudy Gay is shooting 33% from three this year, the area the Heat need real help in. Both of those players are expiring contracts, and can make an impact on the team this season.īut here's the better question - is this the right target for the Miami Heat? Maybe a more likely scenario would be to trade Luol Deng and Beno Udrih. But The Sacramento Kings shouldn't be interested in that - especially because McRoberts also has three years on his contract left. The most logical for the Heat would be to trade Josh McRoberts and Chris Andersen for Rudy Gay. If the Heat were going to make a deal, they are going to have to get creative. That's a lot of money and he's 29 years old. Here's the deal: Rudy Gay makes $12.4 million this season and has a guaranteed contract for next year at $13.3 million and a player option for $14.2 million the season after that. Rudy Gay is the name I have heard mentioned, not sure that happens. But it was Steve Kyler from Basketball Insiders who mentioned Rudy Gay as the target. Mike Wallace was the one who said the Heat have been talking with Pacific division teams about making a deal. But we have a new report that the Miami Heat are talking with teams about adding wing help to their roster, and one player that has been mentioned is Rudy Gay. Any trade the Miami Heat attempt to do make is going to cost them.
