DeMarcus Cousins has been busy this offseason, but not too busy to make a phone call to a teammate with a message – stay in Sacramento.
The Kings center has contacted Rudy Gay to let him know he does not want the forward to play for another team next season. Gay has until June 30 to opt out of his contract and become an unrestricted free agent.
“We’ve talked, and he knows that I want him back,” said Cousins, who discussed Gay and a variety of offseason topics Thursday while taking a break at the DeMarcus Cousins Elite Skills Basketball Camp at Sacramento High School. “I need him on this ride.”
