While the Kings’ DeMarcus Cousins and just about everyone else comes up in Sacramento, it seems inhumane now with reports back and forth the team may move to Seattle. But the Jazz do their business quietly and it the talk seems mostly media guesswork for now. For now, it’s their story and they’re sticking to it.įor the Jazz, most speculate Al Jefferson or Paul Millsap will go, though just because they are free agents and they have young backups who need to play. There’s been plenty of Lakers speculation regarding Dwight Howard and Pau Gasol, though Lakers’ chief Jim Buss went on local radio last week to say this group will make a title run and no one is panicking or trading anyone. Gay averages more than $18 million in salary the next two seasons, so if the new ownership doesn’t give this group one chance to see how far they can go when healthy and is doing a salary dump, well, Memphis you have a problem. And given injuries, they haven’t even had a chance to play together in the playoffs the last two seasons. But the Grizzlies are having their best season while Gay and Zach Randolph seem finally to be playing together. Gay isn’t quite the talent many believe he should be. The biggest rumored name of the last week was Rudy Gay, which is a curiosity. It’s the start of trading season around the NBA, which generally means that being January, no one is doing anything, but lots of players are having to answer whether this is bothering them.
