Gay was shipped around a few times this off-season.

Originally the forward started the off-season as a member of the Utah Jazz but was then traded in part for John Collins to the Atlanta Hawks.

After the Hawks acquired Gay, they moved him to OKC as part of a deal for sharpshooter Patty Mills, which saved Atlanta over four million dollars in cap space.

And now Gay is without a team after OKC cut the 17-year veteran.

The former 20-point-per-game scorer spent the last two years in Utah, where he averaged a career low in points.

What was very shocking from Gay last season is that he shot a career-low 25 percent from three-point range.

Before the 2023 NBA season, he’d never shot below 30 percent from three in a season.

After Gay’s release was made public, fans took to Twitter to predict his next move.

One fain said: “Rudy Gay, YOU are a Golden State Warrior I feel like.”

A second predicted: “He’s a Laker.”

And a third questioned: “Bull?”

Another even tweeted: “Hope he has a good retirement.”

Keep an eye out for Gay to sign a veteran-minimum contract with a contending team in the near future.
