The Inquisitr also reported that though the addition of Gay to the Clippers will give them a comparatively good shooter and scorer, it is not seen to make them a contender most especially in the tight Western Conference division. The trio of Griffin, Chris Paul and DeAndre Jordan are still deemed to be the best bet for the Clippers to reach the upper echelons of the league.
The report also said that on the part of the Kings, the addition of Vonleh was worth less that giving up Gay. Vonleh had a disappointing performance last season and he is not a quality player in exchange for Gay.
