Thanks for everything, Rudy! You were consummate professional your entire time here, provided a huge boost to the Spurs bench amidst the retirement of players like Manu Ginobili, and you will always be appreciated and fondly remember here (oddly, unlike in Memphis and Toronto).Īlso good luck to Gorgui and Trey! Hopefully they have found situations where they can play and contribute.
With the Jazz, he joins another team that when healthy can definitely contend for a title, and once again he could possibly be that final piece that they need to get over the hump. This is not up for debate.He attempted 17.6 shots per game in Toronto, making just 42.8 percent of the 2-pointers and 41.1 percent of all attempts.The. Unfortunately, it didn’t work out that way as Leonard only played eight games the following season before demanding a trade, and the Spurs never came close to getting Gay the ring he was seeking when he signed here. Rudy Gay was inefficient as a Toronto Raptor. Despite coming off an Achilles injury, he would be the perfect backup to Kawhi Leonard, give the bench another go-to scorer, and possibly be that final piece to help the Spurs get over the hump that was the seemingly unbeatable Golden State Warriors. Gay came to the Spurs ahead of the 2017-18 season, and at the time it felt like a big signing. This isnt going to stop happening, folks. Rudy Gay is signing a two-year, $12.1M deal with the Jazz, with a player option, his agents Raymond Brothers and Sam Permut said. Reports are surfacing that the Washington Wizards have entered the Rudy Gay sweepstakes by making what Ric Bucher has described as a 'good' offer.
