Only problem, Gay works good w the ball not without

[JR3]

I'm happy about this. Low risk above avg reward

[ernest787]

I like the signing, assuming Gay recovers from that injury.

LMA / Gay / Kawhi / Green

Really like that closing games out.

[sasaint]

Hopefully he fits!
Hopefully his Achilles hasnt slowed him dwn!

Now, does Simms leave?

That would be sooo PATFO. Sign Rudy Gay for similar money to what JSimms pulls from some team like the Knicks.

[DPG21920]

Gay is a PF, at this point, especially following an injury that kills careers..

Mills/Danny/Kawhi/Gay/LMA - if Gay isn't totally washed I guess there is some potential there.

Why have Pau opt out if you were going to operate over the cap anyways? I guess CP really was the plan and Pau had to decline option for that to be possible.

yup, sign the broken guy rather than the young healthy one.

In Sacramento.... Spurs are a different animal. He will either play better than he is like most of he becomes like Richard Jefferson .... hope the system makes him better.

TIM, RJ and now Rudy. We always have someone gay on the team.

Spurs aren't done........ more to come

[NASpurs]

I wanted him before the Achilles injury last year when there were talks about him being bought out or something, now not so much.

Hope he becomes our Livingston

[rastaspur]

Hard to get excited about a guy coming off a torn Achilles and who has more turnovers than assists over the course of his career.

I can't speak to his ability to play the four but if he isn't a good small ball four then this signing doesn't move the needle at all imo

[CGD]

I've seen this idea of Spurs now operating over the tax several places. Can our cap folks explain why that is?

I thought we were using capspace this Summer after Pau opted out.

[I. Hustle]

yup, sign the broken guy rather than the young healthy one.

So far, I've heard that we are still able to pull both.

Can you imagine a Gay Juice duo?

Spurs got that Gay Juice!!

I think he'll be in a system where he'll learn to move without the ball. Decent spot up shooter already

[Chinook]

Using the NT payer MLE - does that trigger anything for SA that's odd? I know S&T does that, but what about this?

It triggers the hard cap, but they can totally avoid that but not using the LLE or paying Pau less than $13 Million -- assuming Simmons returns on a max deal (for him).

[Kindergarten Cop]

What does this mean for Pau?

Kawhi plays the small ball four, Gay plays the three. The team is going for length.

[Mr. Body]

That's a suddenly interesting team. Finally got rid of fools good mountain of Cousins and now they have players who care about the game.

[NASpurs]

[SpurPadre]

Not bad. Now we're getting somewhere.

[NASpurs]

[apalisoc_9]

You have to wonder with Pau coming off the bench, Coaching Stuff must be really sold at playing small at the 4. Gay, Blossom, Bertans, Anderson

They're not playing with Two bigs next year. That's for sure.

[ducks]

blossom will be in d league
