Rudy Gay

Thank the basketball gods for Rudy Gay. Seriously. Do it. He just gave us one of the greatest off-beat quotes in NBA history. The San Antonio Spurs clinched a playoff berth with a victory over the Sacramento Kings on Monday night. Their effort wasn’t the best at times; they spent a good deal of the [...]

The Oklahoma City Thunder’s proximity to the luxury tax won’t stop them from trying to make moves in free agency. First up, according to The Vertical’s Adrian Wojnarowski, is Rudy Gay: [tweet https://twitter.com/WojVerticalNBA/status/880419815428681728] Gay and the Thunder have been linked before, prior to his Achilles injury.

Free agency is about 3 weeks away (seriously) and the deadline is rapidly approaching for NBA players with player options to decide to opt in or opt out of the final year of their current contracts. One player who has been rumored to opt out of his contract and become a free agent for some [...]

A season-ending Achilles injury won’t prevent Rudy Gay from opting out of his contract and joining the NBA’s free-agency ranks this summer.

Rudy Gay was never a lock to be traded from the Sacramento Kings. He owned a player option for this summer and made it clear before this season that he wanted out. But the Kings were, and remain, obsessed with grabbing the Western Conference’s No. 8 seed. Rudy Gay was a big part of that [...]

Rudy Gay and the Oklahoma City Thunder have been linked to another since before the start of the 2016-17 season. Oklahoma City lost Kevin Durant over the summer and needs another scorer who can also get buckets from three-point range off the catch to pair with Russell Westbrook. Gay has a player option for next [...]

Will Rudy Gay be a member of the Sacramento Kings after the February’s trade deadline? That’s the question almost everyone is asking, mostly because we know he won’t be with the team next season. He has a player option for 2017-18 that he’s going to decline, and it’s been clear, to both the Kings and [...]

The Rudy Gay sweepstakes may be heating up.
