WHY IS RUDY GAY GETTG MUT FOR THE JAZZ?

I get this qutn om opposg team beat reporters, om suts and om quirg mds on every is Rudy Gay gettg playg time? So, I thk ’s time that we exame what’s gog on wh is clear to most people watchg the game that he is not playg like the Rudy Gay of years gone by.

RUDY GAY WAIVED BY THE OKC THUNR, BUT ROSTER CNCH STILL ALIVE

Even sual fans n see he’s slow fensively, he mak bad cisns on offense and that spe all, he is still gettg mut ahead of Simone Fontecch or Ochai you dig to some of Gay’s dividual stats, don’t help his se much. I thk the explanatn is nuanced and there are many factors that are playg to — and this certaly won’t help you unrstand why Gay is gettg playg time — I’d like to dispel any belief that the Jazz are playg Gay so that they n crease his tra value. He do not have posive value and the Jazz are well we’re gog to look at thgs purely om a numbers perspective has to be noted that the Jazz explibly play better wh Gay on the urt than they do whout Cleang The Glass, the Jazz have an efficiency differential of +12.

I n’t expla why or how the Jazz are puttg up those numbers when Gay is on the urt, nsirg his low productn and some of his qutnable cisn-makg on both ends, but is you pair that wh the fact that the Gay is only playg about 15 mut per game, the Jazz are gog to happily live wh the rults, even if don’t look great when ’s there are reasons I believe Gay is playg that go beyond the numbers and beyond the season, Qu Snyr benched Gay and the veteran player was not pleased.

3 LANDG SPOTS FOR FORMER UTAH JAZZ PLAYER RUDY GAY

On media day this season he likened to the reporters g to the terview room and not beg able to ask qutns, not beg allowed to do their realy would be more like a reporter dog a bad job and then beg moted for someone who was dog a better job, but that’s not how Gay saw thgs. Multiple sourc wh knowledge of the tone and tenor of the Jazz locker room last season have said that Gay’s displeasure wh the suatn add to the tensn that was already stewg.

This season, Will Hardy, who has known Gay for a long time due to their San Anton nnectn, has given Gay a small role on the team and has said multiple tim that he has relied on Gay not only as a soundg board but also as a veteran to help gui the young players on the team. And, om all acunts om the young players on the Jazz roster, Gay has been credible.

He’s been helpful, has offered advice, directn and, if you’re gettg veteran mentorship, a reliable source of wisdom and all you have to give up for that is 12-15 mut a night and a uple of bad shots, ’s a pretty good al, pecially when those mut aren’t directly ntributg to losg and when you look at what uld hypothetilly happen if you cid to go another Hardy cid to pletely bench Gay to play Fontecch or Agbaji, Gay might react the same way that he did when Snyr moted him. I believe that Hardy is probably dog Gay a solid exchange for beg a good soldier and so long as he do that, there’s no reason not to give him some playg urse, this n’t last forever.

RUDY GAY EXPECTED TO DRAW TERT OM WARRRS, LAKERS, MAVERICKS, BULLS, PELINS

The Jazz are eventually gog to have to move on om Gay, whether that means cludg him a tra before the Feb. ”Hardy and the Jazz brass know that Agbaji and Fontecch are servg of some reps and a chance to velop wh the game and that Gay is not a part of the Jazz’s extend future. Utah Jazz forward Rudy Gay agast the Goln State Warrrs durg game San Francis, Wednday, Dec.

DeMar DeRozan, Rudy Gay, Chigo Bulls, NBA Rumors (Cred: Chris Nill-USA TODAY Sports) Two days ago, the Chigo Bulls proved to that they want to wrap up the offseason and fill out the roster as soon as possible by re-signg Ayo Dosunmu to a long-term al and offerg their fal two-way ntract spot to Onuralp Bim. There’s been plenty of speculatn as to who Chigo may target for their fal signg, but I never expected the recently-waived Rudy Gay to be a news om HoopsHype’s Michael Stto, who has been a reliable and tstworthy source many tim the past. “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.

LAKERS NOT: REAV, WTBROOK, CASTLETON, GAY

Gay was healthy last season m a fger jot spra that siled him for two weeks and a member of Utah’s rotatn through most of last season.

RUDY GAY

While I agree wh the ia prciple, signg Gay is clearly not the move that puts the Bulls over the top, they’ll need to aim higher than put thgs to perspective, Rudy was a rookie when Ben Gordon and Ben Wallace were the bt players on the Bulls. Gay is only a year younger than Bulls legend Luol Deng, who hasn’t been the league for over four years now. He is also now the NBA’s 11th olst player and has also played long enough to have the 11th most total pots sred of any active player — rankg ahead of Pl Gee and right behd Damian imprsive as that feat is, the Bulls n’t pay for Gay’s past productn.

There are already too many ncerns regardg this team’s roster nstctn wh players over the age of 30, I believe would be unwise to add fuel to the fire here by signg Gay is not the ee agency splash the Bulls need at this pot time. Dpe his age and relative lack of on-urt productn, Gay seems to have attracted a good al of tert around the league om ntendg teams.

Fortunately, I believe ’s unlikely Gay would choose the Bulls over the other optns. For now, we’ll jt have to keep an eye on Gay’s suatn and hope a more qualified ee agent (like the aforementned Washgton or Wood) is still play.
