Rudy Gay has reached an agreement with the Sacramento Kings on a three-year, $40 million contract extension, per Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports.
According to Wojnarowski, "the extension begins with the 2015-16 season, and includes a player option for the the 2017-18 season, sources told Yahoo Sports. The ability to exit the deal early gives Gay a chance to become a free agent in the summer of 2017, when he’ll be 31 and the market will be flush with the proceeds of the new $24 billion television package."
Gay has one year left on his current conrtact, which will pay him $19.3 million.

This extension represents another step in the right direction for a Sacramento Kings team that seems to be turning the corner both from an on-the-court and an off-the court perspective.
