It was more or less expected since his arrival in Oklahoma City and it is now official: Rudy Gay has been cut by the Thunder.
Rudy Gay will not have spent much time in Oklahoma. Arrived less than ten days ago as part of a transfer with the Atlanta Hawks, he has just been cut by the Thunder, announces the insider of The Athletic Shams Charania. The 37-year-old obviously did not fit into the plans of coach Mark Daigneault (just extended), who continues to rely on his talented young core.
For OKC, this transaction allows the team to sign 26-year-old Australian winger Jack White, who will replace Rudy Gay in the squad.

The veteran is therefore having a very eventful summer: sent to Atlanta as part of the trade of John Collins almost a month ago, he has not spent much time with the Hawks, who quickly transferred him to OKC in l exchange of Patty Mills. Released by the Thunder, he now finds himself without a franchise and free to sign anywhere.
But who will want Rudy Gay in his team next season? His experience might be useful in a young team on the rise, but not sure he still has much to contribute from a basketball point of view. At the end of a season with 5.2 points, 2.9 rebounds and 1 assist at 38% shooting in 14.6 minutes on average with the Jazz, his future in the NBA is quite uncertain. Difficult to project, but we might move towards an end of career in anonymity if he did not find a team for next season.
