REPORT: Spurs sign Rudy Gay

[cd98]

Well at least we know one of our free agent signings won't go to camp overweight and out of shape.

[spurs10]

I'm wondering what our lineups with him on the floor will look like?

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)..

Game 1
Kyle - 4 points / 4 rebounds / 2 assist / 1 steal

Game 2
Kyle - 8 points / 5 rounds / 4 assist / 2 steals / 30% FG

Game 3
Kyle - 6 points / 9 rebounds / 5 assist / 1 block

Game 4
Kyle - 20 points / 7 rebounds / 2 assist / 4 steals



The Kyle played great or whatever against the GSW has been sooooo blown out of the water. He played like a serviceable NBA player... I get it though... that's a huge jump from the bum he has been over his career, but let's pump the brakes a bit.

Seems like we found Rudy Gay's new nickname for when he starts sucking. I would had gone with Rudy tbh.

Great signing and at a bargain. Upgrade over sims.

Hopefully it's not RJ 2.0. High flying small forward becomes one dimensional 3pt shooter. The fear is also Pop likes to overplay his vets at the risk of not developing the guys who need it ala 2011 lost to Grizz.

[FkLA]

yes, sons.

I'm calling it right now, unless all his lift is gone this dude will flourish in SA. The Spurs culture is real. You don't just come into this professional of an environment willingly if you're planning on being a cancer/selfish. The tools and length are there. The Spurs will get whatever is left after the injury out.

Ideally, he wouldn't be coming off an achilles injury but then again he probably commands a lot more dough if he isn't.

You don't know.. LMa didn't use to be a fatty until he joined SA.

I'm wondering what our lineups with him on the floor will look like?

Like clueless first timers in a shooting range?

[SPURt]

If he is in fact healthy this is a great signing. Someone who can create with his size was ideal. I wonder what his D will look like as well as his defense.

[TimDunkem]

Why the are you posting this here..

[gambit1990]

never been a rudy gay fan, glad to have him though. it's a good deal.

i'd rather the spurs have him than okc.

[BatManu20]

Not gonna lie, I've never been a big fan of Gay's game, but at this price, even after his injury, this is a steal. Gay has legitimate talent and coming off the bench for us will probably pretty damn solid. At that price, it's a no-brainer.

I think there are only 2 ways to beat the Warriors. One is with a big that can punish there small ball line up, like a prime Tim. The other is a team full of 6'5 to 6'9 guys that can dribble, shoot, and guard on switches.

Parker
Leonard
Gay
Anybody but Aldridge
Gasol

A 30 year old coming off an achilles injury is the best they could do?

Can someone name a player that came back from an achilles injury and was still decent and maybe I'll feel better about this.

Seconded...

Ahem, LMA.
