When word broke this week that the Golden State Warriors signed 37-year old veteran swingman Rudy Gay, it was like the completion of a trade machine fever dream from Dub Nation’s past imagination.
The Dubs’ hunt for Gay has been over a decade in the making. Did you know Gay was drafted at the #8 spot in the 2006 draft, just one step spot ahead of Golden State’s #9 selection?
In 2012 Gay was declared by Bleacher Report to be the most underrated star in the league, standing at 6-foot-8 with a smooth combination of power and athleticism, with a deep bag of scoring tricks at his disposal.
