The Boston Celtics are hitting the NBA trade market once again. After targeting almost all the superstars in the league like Carmelo Anthony, Klay Thompson, DeMarcus Cousins, Anthony Davis, Paul George, Hassan Whiteside and many others, they are not stopping looking for an upgrade on their roster. And now, they are moving to acquire Rudy Gay from the Sacramento Kings this time.

Gay, who've been a regular figure in the rumor mills for past few months, have already expressed his desire to leave the Kings after the season. Many say that his disappointment with the current situation of the team is the reason behind his decision. And going to the Celtics could be his way out and be with a contender team.

A proposed deal is being suggested between the Boston Celtics and Sacramento Kings that involves 5 players and 2 future picks. Trade scenario is suggesting that the Kings will send forward Rudy Gay to the Celtics in exchange for guard Gerald Green, guard James Young, forward Jonas Jerebko, forward Jordan Mickey plus two second-round pick.

It seems that the Celtics are on the losing end of this trade by giving up 4 players together with 2 future picks for 1 player. But the value of Gay seems to match what is being offered to the Celtics. Further examining the trade, it works under the NBA trade rules and salary cap restriction making it a legal deal as per checking with the ESPN NBA Trade Machine.

Gay has averages of 20.2 points, 6.4 rebounds and 2.8 assists with a remarkable 42.9% shooting percentage beyond the arc this season that will definitely boost the offense of the Celtics. His skill set is also a big plus to the Celtics being a big man that can post up aside from being a deadly shooter from outside.

If the Celtics are looking for a dependable player that can shore up their roster, they might try to take the risk of getting Gay. And as for the Kings, they might take this deal anyway rather than losing Gay for nothing in free agency.
