The Sacramento Kings traded for Rudy Gay midseason and have maintained that they view the forward as a long-term fit.

"I would say with Rudy, I’ve been talking to his agent since the day he arrived," Pete D'Alessandro said. "We didn’t trade him to have him for a year, so we’re going to continue meeting with Rudy. One of the things we thought when we did the deal (to acquire) Rudy was it gives him a real chance to not just know our front office, but to know our community. I think he’s really impressed by the community in many ways – because our community really is impressive. He’s getting to know us from that level, so I think it’s really important.

“At the end of the day, this is a business. A decision needs to be made, and there’s a lot involved, but we’ve made no mistake about it with him, and he knows what our intent is with him."

Pete D'Alessandro believes the Sacramento Kings will prioritize drafting the best player available instead of selecting based on need in this year's NBA Draft.

“I think we’re in a position to take the best player we can get," D'Alessandro said. "Again, right now we have 28 wins – matching last year – and our best-case scenario would have been 29. So we’re not in a position where I could say any position is covered.

"All the positions are covered, but we still only had 28 wins. I have to take the best player.”

The San Antonio Spurs finished the 13-14 regular season with the best efficiency differential in the NBA with a mark of +8.1. The Spurs scored 110.5 points per 100 possession while allowing 102.4 points per 100 possessions.

The Los Angeles Clippers ranked second, followed by the Oklahoma City Thunder, Miami Heat and Golden State Warriors. 

The Indiana Pacers, Houston Rockets, Portland Trail Blazers, Toronto Raptors and Phoenix Suns round out the top-10.
