Sacramento Kings' Rudy Gay and Willie Cauley-Stein and Miami Heat's Goran Dragic are regular names in the NBA trade rumors for the past couple of months. And now, new reports are emerging that the three players are once again the hot topic of the recent rumor mills.
Earlier reports by The Bottom Line News connected Gay to the Heat. Gay, who is always been in the rumor mills since last year, have already expressed his intention of leaving the Kings after the season while Cauley-Stein seems to be not fit in Kings head coach Dave Joerger's system making him dispensable for the team.
Same goes for Dragic who was linked by YIBADA English earlier to NBA trade rumors. Though Dragic is piling impressive numbers averaging 16.2 points, 5.8 assists, and 3.9 rebounds for 10 games he has played this season, his performance is not leading the team to victories and it seems that the team is going down at the bottom of the standings.
With this all happening, the Heat appears to be missing the services of Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh and to address that problem they might explore the trade market and find a perfect replacement for those two players. A proposed deal is said to be suggested between the Miami Heat and Sacramento Kings for their consideration.
Trade scenario is suggesting that the Kings will send Rudy Gay and Willie Cauley-Stein to the Heat in exchange for Goran Dragic and a future second-round pick. And as per checking to ESPN NBA Trade Machine, the trade deal works under the NBA trade rules and salary cap policy set by the league making it a legal deal for both teams.
Some say that the deal is a good trade and will be beneficial for both teams. Having Gay will give the Heat a perfect replacement for Bosh while Cauley-Stein will be an ideal backup for Hassan Whiteside. But the question is, who will replace Dragic in PG position for the Heat?
For three games that Dragic didn't play this season, Heat coach Erik Spoelstra decide to start Josh Richardson in PG and it seems that he is effective averaging 13 points, 3.33 assists and 2.67 rebounds per game.
As for the Kings, getting Dragic could change DeMarcus Cousins' style of play and turn around the situation for them. If Dragic and Cousins will play well together, Boogie might opt to stay and see where the combination will take them.
Will the Miami Heat and Sacramento Kings agree to swap Rudy Gay, Willie Cauley-Stein and Goran Dragic? Find out soon in the latest NBA trade rumors, news and updates.
