lbian, gay, bisexual, and transgenr. "I have the privilege of beg the mother of a gay dghter so I get the opportuny, she's Vegas, so I've been to pri all over and they're great no matter where we go, but she will tell you this and I n say this, there's somethg special about Long Beach, " said of the events are ee and they're open to Jaysha on social © 2023 KABC Televisn, LLC. 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. 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.
IS RUDY GAY A GOOD F?
Will the Goln State Warrrs sign veteran Rudy Gay NBA ee agency after he got bought out by the Oklahoma Cy Thunr? * gay lb *
The se agast Gay is simple — he would not shore up the Lakers’ glarg need at center. 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.
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.
THUNR WAIVE RUDY GAY
My addictn wh BL genre has started October 2016 (I did watch lots of Hong Kong, Che, Amerin, European gay themed movi before) and then I started watchg anim, readg mangas and totally beme obssed. :Pp.s. This list clus everythg, all LGBT themed movi and dramas…" name="scriptn * gay lb *
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. 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.
WILLIE GAY JR.

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.
