Gay to Philly

Rudy Gay moves to Philly where he can start fresh and lighten the scoring load of MCW and Noel.
Thad Young provides Sacramento some interesting match-ups on the wing and post because he can play both forward positions. J-Rich is included to make the salaries match.

Rudy Gay is the antithesis of the kind of player that Hinkie wants.

I don't get this at all for Philly. Not the kind of guy they want nor do they want to accelerate the rebuild.

Well.....with both Sac and Phila in dire straights...looking to CHEAP...youth...rebuild... nobody in this really seems to fit. That said... is T Young gonna be a SF in Sac? They have PF guys. The Sixers....they have maybe 3-4 legit NBA players and the rest are generic...guys you maybe never heard of unless you follow the D League. Adding one volume shooter SF to that... really does not do much.

Gay can be an expensive but useful luxury to some teams... Young can help some teams. Neither is a real good fit on EITHER of these...but fit better where they ARE than where they relocate in this.
CENSORED... No comment.

SAC gets little value for Rudy, who's actually been a nice contributor for them (and someone they might look to re-sign), and Philly gets the opposite of what they need.

Just what the Kings need, another PF. They can add Young to Landry, Thompson, Evans and Williams.

The Sixers will certainly take Rudy Gay off Sacramento's hands for that lotto pick they have... wait, you mean they don't want to salary dump him? Even after he picks up that option? Huh.
