Wh very few personal aclas on his résumé spe a long and productive reer, one has to image Gay is termed to pete at the hight level. Listed at 6-foot-8 and 250 pounds, Gay is limed primarily to one or two posns on fense pendg on the matchup.

If Gay isn’t htg 3s, his value is extremely limed at this stage of his reer. There’s somethg to be said for veteran know-how and Gay’s learship the locker room, but he’s no longer prsurg the rim as a driver or creatg his own looks. The talented three-level srer of old is firmly the past; Gay is a stretch-4 who shot below 26 percent om ep his age-36 season.

He’s probably approachg his last go-around the said, Gay did receive a steady dose of mut last season when healthy. Wh limed forward pth beyond Patrick Williams, the Bulls pecially uld have room for Gay to play real mut.

Whether or not the Bulls — or any team — should be playg Gay real mut at this pot is an open qutn, but he has earned the benef of the doubt over the last two s. Gay is quietly one of the longt-tenured and most dividually productive players left the NBA.

NBA Rumors: Jam Harn tra talks, Joel Embiid, PJ Tucker, Rudy Gay, Lakers, Warrrs, Bucks, more.

Below is the latt tel gathered by HoopsHype on the Harn tra talks and how they uld affect Joel Embiid and PJ Tucker, ee agency updat on Rudy Gay, Edmond Sumner, and Nerlens Noel, along wh not on the Lakers, Warrrs, Bucks, Mavericks, and more on HoopsHype. 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. 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.

WARRRS COULD PURSUE RUDY GAY IF WAIVED BY THUNR

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.

WARRRS ADD FIRST OPENLY GAY EXEC TO FRONT OFFICE

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.

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.
