It appears Rudy Gay may be heading out of Toronto.

The Raptors are expected to announce a trade Monday that will send the 27-year-old forward to the Sacramento Kings, along with forward Quincy Acy and centre Aaron Gray, according to multiple reports.

The Raptors will reportedly get guards John Salmons and Greivis Vasquez, forward Patrick Patterson and centre Chuck Hayes in return.

Gay is averaging 19.4 points per game, 7.4 rebounds and 2.2 assists for the Raptors this season.

The six-foot-eight, 230-pound Gay is the Raptors' highest paid player with a contract that pays him US$17.8 million this season with a $19.3-million player option for next season.

A first-round pick of the Houston Rockets in 2006, Gay came to Toronto from Memphis last January in a deal that sent Ed Davis and Jose Calderon to the Grizzlies.
