PEACHY KEENAN: EVERYONE IS GAY, N YOU BLAME THEM?

In Team Ameri, the 2004 puppet edy om the creators of South Park, there’s a scene that satiriz the prevalence of gay-themed stage plays of that era (Angels Ameri, Rent, etc. The gay or lbian populatn has creased by 26% and the percentage of stunts intifyg as bisexual has creased by 232%. Acrdg to Michael Stto of HoopsHype, the Lakers are among several teams who uld potentially have tert Rudy Gay.

Veteran forward Rudy Gay is expected to draw tert om several playoff-liber teams, cludg the Goln State Warrrs, Los Angel Lakers, Dallas Mavericks, Chigo Bulls, and New Orleans Pelins, league sourc told HoopsHype.

'WAS J GAY?’: THE CLASS UNVERG HIDN QUEER HISTORI

Perhaps this is a role and avenue that Gay n also provi value like he did for a young Jazz team.

While his on-urt productn certaly isn't where ed to be at this stage of his reer, Gay still do posss the reque size and strength to pete. Standg at 6’8” and sportg a 7’3” wgspan, Gay has the exact type of proportns the Lakers lacked their seri agast the Denver Nuggets particular. The se agast Gay is simple — he would not shore up the Lakers’ glarg need at center.

LAKERS AMONG TEAMS LKED TO RUDY GAY

Gay put up reer lows 3-pot shootg (25%) and eFG% (43%) wh Utah this past year. Dpe the limatns and drop-offs that e wh age, there is potentially a role for Gay somewhere the league as he has proved to still be a steady ntributor when given the chance.

9 pots better than their opponents wh Gay on the floor (1689 posssns) this season acrdg to Cleang the Glass.

IS RUDY GAY A GOOD F?

While remas to be see if that role is found Los Angel for Gay, probably behoov the Lakers to look elsewhere to fill what is an obv need or at least swg for upsi wh a younger player. One such piece — and a highly-predictable one, at that — is veteran forward Rudy Gay, who was recently waived by the Oklahoma Cy Thunr, after beg ed as filler two different offseason tras: first when the Utah Jazz shipped him to the Atlanta Hawks the John Colls al, and then when the Hawks sent him to the Thunr the Patty Mills tra.

Dpe beg a 17-year veteran — he was drafted one year after Chris Pl, and one pick ahead of Patrick O’Bryant — Gay has never shared an NBA locker room wh any Warrrs.

Not only have they played (and ached) agast him for years, but Gay was teammat wh Steph Curry and Klay Thompson on the Team USA squad that won gold at the 2014 FIBA World Cup, and also teammat wh Curry (and Andre Iguodala) on the gold medal-wng 2010 team. Perhaps most importantly, Gay spent four seasons — four recent seasons, crilly — playg for the San Anton Spurs and Steve Kerr’s mentor, Gregg Popovich.

HOW TO TELL IF SOMEONE IS GAY: 10 SUBTLE CLU THAT MAKE IT LIKELY

If the Warrrs are terted Gay, you n bet that Kerr and Pop have talked about , and about how he handled the swch om high-volume starter/srer to veteran bench piece. That is, theory, the biggt benef of Gay: beg a tsty and smart vet that n fill the Iguodala role. Which is good, bee ’s unclear if Gay has anythg left the tank on the urt.

It’s easy to make the se for Gay, sce the Warrrs rotatn seems pretty set as is, wh an 11-player rotatn of Curry, Pl, Thompson, Wiggs, Green, Kumga, Moody, Kevon Looney, Gary Payton II, Dar Šarić, and Cory Joseph. If the Dubs want Gay, he’d probably be an easy target. Here’s a staggerg stat: Gay is 68th NBA history regular season gam played, wh 1, 120.

There’s also a cent chance that Gay go unsigned, and that the Dubs uld brg him to trag mp on a non-guaranteed al to get a better look at him. Should the Warrrs sign Rudy Gay?
