Rudy Gay‘s meeting with the Thunder has concluded, and Gay is leaving Oklahoma City this morning, according to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN, who reports (via Twitter) that the two sides are still looking for a “financial path” to a potential deal. OKC doesn’t have cap room available, and Wojnarowski suggests that a sign-and-trade with the Kings will be “difficult.”
While it sounds like there’s certainly mutual interest between the Thunder and Gay, the veteran forward is poised to continue exploring his options. According to Wojnarowski (via Twitter), Gay remains on the Clippers’ radar, and Los Angeles plans to meet with Gay – as well as Danilo Gallinari – within the next couple days.
When free agency first opened, a report indicated that Gay had meetings lined up with four teams, so the Thunder and Clippers aren’t his only suitors. One of those meetings was with the Kings, but it’s not clear if the other one has already happened, or if it remains on his schedule. The Spurs were reportedly in touch with Gay, and the Heat are believed to have some interest, but Miami’s interest will likely hinge on whether or not the team gets a commitment from Gordon Hayward.
Gay, who turns 31 next month, is coming off a torn Achilles, but is said to be making good progress in his recovery, and remains one of the most reliable scorers on the market. Over the last 10 years, he has never averaged fewer than 17.2 PPG in a season.
I read yesterday at like 12:41 AM that Gay and the Spurs were on “the verge” of a deal and then nothing happened and still nothing has
he should go to the warriors if they loose iguadala and nd is trying to recruit him for the team
he should sign to OKC for 1yr and then go back out to FA aggravate for tho if he goes killer squad!!!!
Dude you really should take some English classes. Your comments are very hard to read
***great fit!!!
**great fit
Gay should go to the Nets to team up with Russell and play the 3.
From the Kings to the Nets. I guess that could be seen as an upgrade?
SAC is said to have some interest in Taj Gibson, perhaps a sign and trade going both ways could work? It would hard cap OKC which could make things tight.
He should come to the Dubs one year get a ring then cash out
