I'm personally not a huge Ryno fan, but I know Dell values him highly. I don't think Gay fits this team very well with the current guards and wings we have on the roster either. On top of that, I've heard from our own insiders that direction to make "major changes" has come down and I don't think Dell would do a player for player swap. I think there are a couple of others that interest him. A lot of what your insider is saying seems to match up with the insiders on our side. I've heard of a couple different discussed deals. One is Anderson and Gordon for Gay, Belinelli, and Collison.
I posted that very trade proposal right on this thread january 1st via my inside source . That is not news to me .
Well the Kings & N.O are expected to resume talks on Monday no deal is for sure though .
Pelicans , Bulls , Clippers & Grizzlies to name a few interested in Gay .
I know you did, have you heard anything of a deal discussed around Tyreke and Ajinca for Rondo and any combination McLemore, Belinelli, or WCS? We were told that deal is less likely amd has somewhat died down because George Karl is who "LOVES" Evans (as the source put it) and it's unknown how long Karl will remain the coach. It is something that has been discussed though. We have been told the other teams to keep an eye on are Orlando, Brooklyn, Charlotte and Boston. Kind of tells me Dell would prefer to deal with the East. Orlando has some very interesting packages for Ryno, just a matter if Dell wants help now or players and picks that will help him down the road. Some good packages have been discussed with Sac as well.
Kings have Zero interest in Tyreke . Mclemore & Rondo has not been mentioned so far in any deal with N.O.
Ajinca's name had been thrown out their but not from SAC'S side . Not much interest in him from Kings thus far .
Bottom line is N.O. wont trade us Anderson then no deal will happen between us 99% sure .
Trade hasn't happened yet as N.O. is hoping they will get a better offer however that is very unlikely . It will become more likely of Kings moving on & dealing with another team if Pelicans don't pull the trigger .
Demps know 100% sure he will not be able to keep Anderson so he would be wise to get something done fast with Sac or someone .
Holding out to the last minute on deadline day will get him less in return as all GM'S will know that he will have to a lesser more desperate deal to get anything really good for him .
Gay's contract if N.O. took it on could easily be re-traded again soon enough down the line & Demps could gain value from that should he feel that N.O. doesn't want to keep him long term . That said Gay's game would mesh really well into the N.O. system & Demps badly wants a solid sf that can be a great wing player as well .
Divac is getting a ton of calls so anyone who really wants Gay better move fast . Kings will not continue waiting as Divac is highly motivated to get a deal done that he feels will push us into the playoffs though he will not do a deal for the sake of doing a deal .
