REPORT: Spurs sign Rudy Gay

[TrainOfThought5]

Probably finished as a notable player, but pretty low risk at that price(along with having limited options, at this point), tbh..not a fan of this signing, overall, though..

Sucks for Kyle, tbh..

Kyle sucks for himself. He hasnt taken advantage of any opportunity to be a difference maker on this team.

[Russ]

I'd like to know what happed between Gay and GS.

Did the Warriors back off from risk? Or were the Spurs able to offer more?

[sammy]

Lol!

[8FOR!3]

This will be the most difficult test for the Rudy Gay challenge, tbh..it's a curse that has haunted every team he has played for(Sacramento didn't change, though)

2005-2006 Grizzlies: 49-33
2006-2007 Grizzlies with Rudy Gay: 22-60

2009-2010 Grizzlies with Gay: 40-42
2010-2011 Grizzlies with Gay missing the 2nd half of the season and playoffs: 46-36, famously embarrassing the 1 seed Spurs

2012-2013 Grizzlies after trading Rudy Gay: WCFS
2012-2013 Raptors with Gay: 34-48

2012-2013 Raptors with Gay: missed playoffs
2013-2014 Raptors trade Gay: 48 wins, HCA in playoffs

2012-2013 Kings without Gay: 28 wins
2014 Kings: 28 wins

2017 Spurs: 61 wins
2018 Spurs: ???

That was also an era when he was the main guy and expected to put up 20 ppg

[steeledl]

Pretty good price and a short term deal. Hopefully he has more left than I think but it is worth the risk.

[phxspurfan]

This is like if we signed 2012 RJ. Not bad but not great.

Upside : 2012 RJ

Downside : 2004 Glenn Robinson

Depends how you look at it..there's a double-standard on this forum where people gushed over Simmons for his decent series vs. GS, yet ignore that Anderson played well against them in the same series(personally, I think it was clearly a meaningless series once Kawhi went down, but still, obvious double standard)..

We will be ok says our 19+ years of stellar play! Just needs to be a serviceable cog.

[SuperCam]

PATFO doing work it's about time, anything that gets fathead off the floor

[I. Hustle]

Yeah Noche Latino nights... just admit that it's your default jersey.

You're so silly!!!

If I were the Dubs I'd rather have Swaggy P. He's quicker and can run more

[HarlemHeat37]

That was also an era when he was the main guy and expected to put up 20 ppg

I don't actually believe in curses, my guy I just think it's pretty funny that every team(minus the Kings) has noticeably improved during the 1st post-Gay season and all the teams he joins subsequently fall apart.. that has some serious bad luck..

Really didn't think about that but this is good news.

[Mr. Body]

I'm actually dubious about this. He's a guy who kind of torpedoes teams. He doesn't add anything overall and has put up empty stat. But it's not a bad move given the state of the team and league right now.

They chose swaggy p instead.

[NASpurs]

He can't take the Golden God's #22 jersey number.

[NameLess Scrub]

Rudy will be Kawhi's backup. He's a SF and Pop doesn't start small line ups.

If he can avoid being a compulsive low 40's chucker, that's a great backup for Kawhi and might be good in situational small line ups.

Still hardly enough to beat the super Ws.

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Fabulous!!

He also showed flashes in the RS vs GSW. He is a commodity vs the Warriors whether you like it or not.

[Nathan89]

Spurs were fortunate to win 61 games last year. We can be a better team and still win less. It's called variance.
