Rudy Gay will earn $17.9 million this season, but that doesn't mean he can just throw cash around all willy-nilly.
No, when Gay found out on Sunday that he had been traded from the Toronto Raptors to the Sacramento Kings, he went into cash-recovery mode. See, Gay had purchased tickets for Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers, but since he wouldn't be playing, he wouldn't need the tickets.
True story: when Rudy Gay learned he'd been traded,he asked for refund on Lakers-Raps tix he'd paid for since his people no longer attended

Rudy is hardly the first pro athlete to be tight with his cash no matter how much he makes. Always found that to be a fascinating phenomenon

Can't blame him, we suppose. C.R.E.A.M., and all.
