Rudy Gay will exercise his $19.3 million 14-15 option with the Sacramento Kings, but has tabled extension talks until later this summer.

The Kings have made re-signing Gay a top priority.

Team management and Gay's agent, Alex Saratsis of Octagon, are expected to re-engage discussions in the near future, sources said.

Gay has been impressed with Vivek Ranadive's commitment to building the Kings into a contender.
