The
Rudy Gay era in Toronto appears to be over.
According
to multiple reports, the Raptors on Sunday agreed to ship the
veteran swingman to the Sacramento Kings in a multi-player
blockbuster swap, along with Quincy Acy and Aaron Gray.
In
exchange, the Raptors will reportedly get Chuck Hayes, Greivis
Vasquez, John Salmons and Patrick Patterson.
Yahoo!
Sports reporter
Adrian Wojnarowski first broke the news on Twitter Sunday night.
All
three players involved in the deal for the Raptors were not in
uniform ahead of their tilt with the L.A. Lakers, and the Raptors are
expected to make the trade announcent Monday.
Raptors
coach Dwane Casey couldn't reference the deal specifically before the
game, as nothing is official,but had nothing but good things to say
about Gay.
"Rudy
is a prince of a guy. He's an athletic, dynamic wing player, he gets
to the basket at will and can shoot the ball and handle the ball,"
Casey said. "We were using him in a drag situation, a
pick-and-roll situation because he could see over the defence, and he
was growing into that role and he was doing a better job.
