By now we all know that the Golden State Warriors have two remaining guaranteed roster spots, and will probably only use one of them. And we also know that the team is not itching to make a move, and would rather see how things play out, potentially during training camp.
A key component of “see how things play out” is seeing what players get bought out or waived. The free agency market grows barren within a few days of July starting, but it slowly works in intriguing pieces over the next few months.
One such piece — and a highly-predictable one, at that — is veteran forward Rudy Gay, who was recently waived by the Oklahoma City Thunder, after being used as filler in two different offseason trades: first when the Utah Jazz shipped him to the Atlanta Hawks in the John Collins deal, and then when the Hawks sent him to the Thunder in the Patty Mills trade.
