Shams: Rudy Gay has committed on a one-year, $10 million deal to Spurs

[AFBlue]

If the Spurs are you going to move on from Kawhi, having a guy that can get buckets at his position is a must. Great move by the Spurs FO to bring Rudy back into the fold.

[John B]

This is a good move. Excellent decision for Gay and the Spurs.

It's looking more and more likely that KL isn't going anywhere. Spurs are slowly going to build a team that will be in position to compete for a le next season. If KL chooses to leave, where would he go? The Lakers are not going to have any cap space. Neither will the Clippers unless they decide to tank this season. He's not going to have much choice other than to take the Spurs max offer.

Like with anything else, time always heals all wounds. Once the season begins and we quietly regain our dominance in the WC, he could very easily just put all this behind him.

The Spurs are in great shape. In addition to getting Gay back, we have both of our cap exceptions to use and they intend to be aggressive in using them. I would be on the lookout for players like Avery Bradley, JJ Re , Tyreke Evans, Jabari Parker, or Wayne Ellington. I would absolutely love it if we could find a way to sign Julius Randle to a massive offer sheet. Force the Lakers to match and tie up their cap space further. If they don't match, we get a nice piece and screw the Lakers.

I’m with you until the Randle if you think Kawhi is coming. With Gay and Aldridge, Spurs be paying too much to sit on the bench.

He's wasted space. If the team is ok with mediocrity, he's perfect

how else do you want to rebuild? by winning the le?

[Mr. Body]

Great.

I hate watching Gay, his style is irritating, but 1 year is harmless..hopefully he gains some lateral quickness back in year 2 of recovery, he couldn't stay with anybody on the perimeter last season..

I think when he guards ball he is over aggressive with the reach-ins but in a certain line-ups he length and athleticism allows him to play good team defense

[Arcadian]

I mean, he's still pretty good.

I remember Bill Land calling him a "point shark"

[Dverde]

He can mentor Brandon Ingram on how to make a team worse once you join it

[Slippy]

Nice one . Spurs are getting it done quick. This year with a full preseason under his belt & hopefully no setbacks he should be 100% fit.. in the playoffs i thought we saw enough of him as the spurs smallball PF to know he can deliver.

[DAF86]

I guess he's going to start next season. Better than Marco's signing, but still don't get it.

[stu scotts eye]

Such an idiot smh:

So growing up in the 90s, Don Harris is all we had along with Jay Howard (AM1200). Haven't lived in SA since 2002. When did Harris start sucking?

Narrator: He's always sucked.

[sasaint]

Think he got the most Spurs could currently offer and the one year deal sets him up to be a FA again next summer when the cap goes up.
It was a smart choice for him.

Glad to see him back, considering the team uncertainty. He would fit in no matter what happens with Kiwi.

It is certainly a confident move, but I am not sure how smart it is for a guy only one full season removed from very serious injury.

[bigfan]

Not a bad move, hes ok.

Sure bro.

Since in the 90s, you had no reference point for the Spurs and the 10 cable channels on your heavy magnavox. Stop acting like you had sources or easy access to other market beat writers.

[Marcus Bryant]

Some did. Others watched KMOL.

[Russ]

I'm not huge on Gay but that's a bargain, especially since he's signed with the Non Bird Exception.

Looks like this was wired from the get-go.

[SAGirl]

Remember Pau? If they gave Rudy the word they will sign him back after this deal is over they will. I just didn’t want to ruin it for fans that cheered about it being only a one yr deal. I am glad he’s back but I think he will get a longer term deal when this one is over. It wasn’t offered right now bc the Spurs couldn’t give him more.

[Marcus Bryant]

Not that much over the NBA average for one year and an expiring contract which could be useful at the next trade deadline. He's also a decent fit for the team.

[Texas_Ranger]

I actually like the deal. Gay was pretty good last year, so no complaints from me.

[stu scotts eye]

Yep. Your Apple IIE computer was the sh1t. Must've got fax updates too...

Or you're just counting the access to the hawks games (TBS) or Bulls (WGN) SMH.

[dbestpro]

Spur players are always better in the second year.

Bad news for fathead.

No, utterly irrelevant to Anderson.
