REPORT: WARRRS EXPECTED TO SHOW TERT RUDY GAY

Report: Warrrs expected to show tert Rudy Gay origally appeared on NBC Sports Bay AreaShould the Warrrs look outsi the anizatn to fill their 14th roster spot, uld they pursue 17-year NBA veteran Rudy Gay?

IS RUDY GAY A GOOD F?

The former Jazz forward h ee agency last week after a seri of tras, which sent him om Utah to the Atlanta Hawks then to the Oklahoma Cy Thunr, who waived Gay on, Gay is expected to draw tert om several teams cludg the Warrrs, Michael Stto of Hoops Hype reported Friday, cg league sourc (h/t Bleacher Report).

0 assists 56 gam wh a 38 percent shootg percentage om the Gay was cut by the Thunr, Anthony Slater of The Athletic noted him as a "name to monor" should he bee available, given the fact that the "Warrrs have had tert the past. "Goln State certaly is w-now mo, lookg to take advantage of their agg re of Steph Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green by surroundg them wh veteran addns like Chris Pl and Dar Šarić Šarić is expected to play a role siar to what likely would be expected of Gay on the Warrrs, the team has to make sure another addn like him wouldn't take time away om velopg Jonathan Kumga at the forward posn. That beg said, grabbg more onturt pth on a veteran mimum ntract uld be too enticg to pass up -- though two-way guard Lter Quon uld pete for the Warrrs' 14th roster spot trag even though Gay appears to be on the cle, 's possible ach Steve Kerr uld fd a way for him to make an impact wh the Warrrs.

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.

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?
