Unfortunately, it didn’t work out that way as Leonard only played eight games the following season before demanding a trade, and the Spurs never came close to getting Gay the ring he was seeking when he signed here. Despite coming off an Achilles injury, he would be the perfect backup to Kawhi Leonard, give the bench another go-to scorer, and possibly be that final piece to help the Spurs get over the hump that was the seemingly unbeatable Golden State Warriors. Gay came to the Spurs ahead of the 2017-18 season, and at the time it felt like a big signing.
Rudy Gay is signing a two-year, $12.1M deal with the Jazz, with a player option, his agents Raymond Brothers and Sam Permut said.
