With all the teams gearing up for the new basketball season by reshuffling their roster, the latest NBA trade rumors suggested that the Sacramento Kings might bring in the Minnesota Timberwolves' point guard Ricky Rubio.

Chat Sports reported that even though Rubio will start off the upcoming NBA season with the Timberwolves, he is expected to be traded to the Kings during the midseason.

"The Sacramento Kings are a team to watch," said Glen Taylor on his podcast. "Keep an eye on the Sacramento Kings if slash when the Wolves decide to make a move on Ricky. But, again, nothing is imminent. Ricky Rubio will be with the Wolves opening night."

Reports claimed that the Kings will swap their small forward Rudy Gay to the Timberwolves in exchange for Rubio. However, other reports suggested that the Kings might even ask for some more players from the Timberwolves in exchange for Gay.

According to the trade rumors, it is expected that Rubio will team up with Darren Collison and Garrett Temple for the Kings in the upcoming NBA season. It is also stated that Rubio will fill the void created by Rajan Rondo's departure to the Chicago Bulls. He has an average of 10.1 points per game, which is reported to be an added advantage for the Kings.

Meanwhile, according to Yahoo Sports, even the Minnesota Timberwolves are looking forward to trading Rubio in the upcoming NBA season in exchange for Rudy Gay. Reports claimed that the Gay is expected to team up with point guard and NBA No.5 Draft pick Kris Dunn.  

Furthermore, there are reports that Gay might be the perfect fit for the Minnesota Timberwolves because of his on-court offensive and defensive skills to efficiently put the ball in the basket.
