There's no framework of a possible deal in place, but the Grizzlies have expressed a strong desire that any package involving Gay include Suns forward Jared Dudley and future first-round draft picks, sources said. So they must send out more than $10 million in salary back to Memphis in any deal.Īccording to Woj, the Grizzlies are particularly interested in Jared Dudley ($4.25 million this year) and future picks. What would go back to Memphis is unknown, but the Suns can absorb only $6.3 million (cap space + $100,000) of the $16.4 owed to Gay this season. The troubling stat is the 3-point shooting, for a team that really needs it. Note that the points and rebounds are while playing on a very good team, with competition for those stats from Zach Randolph. He is only a 31% 3-point shooter over the past two seasons and 34% for his career. Gay has a career average of 17.9 points, 5.7 rebounds and 1.3 steals per game. The commitment would be: $16.4 million, $17.8 million and $19.3 million through 2014-15. The 26-year old Rudy Gay was re-signed to a maximum extension a year ago, and has 2 more years left on his contract after this season. According to Adrian Wojnarowski, the Phoenix Suns are interested in acquiring Rudy Gay from the Memphis Grizzlies.
