Thunder's Rudy Gay: Hitting open market
The Oklahoma City Thunder waived Rudy Gay on Wednesday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.After being dealt to the Hawks earlier in the offseason and then getting re-routed to Oklahoma City in another trade, Gay will become a free agent without having ever donned a Thunder uniform. The 36-year-old appeared in 56 games with Utah last season, averaging 5.2 points, 2.9 rebounds and 1.0 assists across 14.6 minutes. Though he's well past his prime, Gay could receive interest on the open market from contending teams in need of a veteran big man off the bench.

Hawks' Rudy Gay: Traded to Atlanta
Rudy Gay exercised his $6.4 million player option for the 2023-24 campaign Monday and was traded from the Jazz to the Atlanta Hawks, along with a future second-round pick, in exchange for John Collins, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.Per Wojnarowski, the Hawks aren't done making moves yet this offseason, so Gay's future in Atlanta remains unclear. The 2016 first-round pick averaged at least 10 points, four rebounds and 20 minutes per game in each of his first 15 NBA seasons, but his production took a hit after moving to Utah ahead of the 2021-22 season. The veteran faces stiff competition for playing time in Atlanta, given De'Andre Hunter, Saddiq Bey, Jalen Johnson and AJ Griffin will presumably all garner significant roles next year, so it wouldn't be surprising to see Gay involved in another trade this summer.
