According to shams' news, the Thunder decided to lay off veteran Rudy Gay.
Gay was sent to the Eagles by the Jazz this summer, then sent to the Thunder by the Eagles, and now he was cut by the Thunder again.
Professional players, old and old, can't escape the fate of being laid off and wandering. 2
Gay is in the summer of 2021 and joined the Jazz with 18 million in 3 years. 2.9 of 6.9 shots, 8.1 points, 4.4 rebounds and 1 assist
In the 2022-23 season, he played 56 games, averaging 5.1 shots and 1.9 shots per game, scoring 5.2 points, 2.9 rebounds and 1 assist.
At that time, there were Mitchell and Gobert in the formation. At that time, choosing to sign Gay was also trying to build an experienced championship lineup. But after the Jazz chose to trade Gobert and Mitchell last summer, Gay seemed a bit redundant.
In fact, the Jazz tried to trade Guy last summer, but they might have been too busy at that time. Two big deals were already enough for the management, and in the end they missed the best time to trade Guy, so Guy stayed.
This year, the Jazz are very idle, and seriously negotiated a deal with the Eagles, sending Guy and a second-round pick to the Eagles in exchange for Collins.
can barely be regarded as an empty glove white wolf! No matter how
Collins is sprayed, he still averages 13.1 points, 6.5 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1 block per game. In his peak season 4 years ago, he averaged 21.6 points and 10 rebounds per game. Moreover, he is only 25 years old this year, so it is not impossible to reach the peak again.
The Eagles didn't keep Guy either, and continued the deal, sending him to the Thunder.
changed 3 teams this summer, but didn't play a game, which is enough.
So, will the Eagles and Thunder prepare jerseys for him?
Yesterday we took stock of each draft, and said that there are still 3 players left in the 2006 class who have contracts (Guy, Tucker, Lowry).
But Gay should not have to worry about finding a job. In the summer of 2021, when Gay becomes a free agent, many teams with the ability to compete for the championship offered him an olive branch.
It is reported that the Warriors have been waiting for these teams to lay off some veterans before, and then pick up the leaks.
Guy is on the list of warriors!
Iguodala has already decided to retire. The Warriors really need to find another player with the same role as the first brother, and Gay is quite suitable.
If you can join the Warriors after being cut, it should be a good thing for Guy, who is at the end of his career. If he really won the championship accidentally, then Gay's career would be considered complete.
By the way, Gay only played in the playoffs 3 times in his career, and he never made it to the first round. !
played 1 time with the Grizzlies in the 2011-12 season (the Grizzlies reached the conference semifinals in the 2010-11 season, he was injured and did not play, was traded by the Grizzlies in the 2012-13 season, and then the Grizzlies went all the way to the Western Conference Finals that season ), played 2 times with the Spurs in the 2017-19 season, both of which were eliminated in the first round.
Oh, by the way, in the 2021-22 season, the Jazz also reached the conference semifinals, and Gay was still injured and did not play. The life of
is hard.
Guy is not a particularly big-name player. In his peak years, he has never been a big player, but as a role player, he is still very experienced. After all, he entered the league in 2006 and has played for 17 seasons. At the peak of
, Gay also averaged 21 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists in a single season.
Speaking of the Grizzlies lineup back then, I was still very impressed.
Randolph, Gasol Jr., Gay, Conley, Tony Allen, Speights, OJ Mayo, Pondexter, Dante Cunningham
Have you ever been a fan of this Grizzlies?
's starting lineup at that time was harmonious in offense and defense. They failed to go far, largely due to lack of experience and star flavor.
Speaking of which, do you think the Grizzlies back then were stronger, or this year's Grizzlies are stronger?
