Gay agreed to a one-year deal with the Warriors on Wednesday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gay was traded twice this offseason before being waived by the Thunder in mid-July. The veteran will now get a chance to compete for a roster spot during training camp. Gay averaged at least 10 points per game in 15 straight seasons to start his career, but he's seen his production dip in recent years and posted career-low marks across the board in 2022-23.

Gay was waived by the Thunder on Wednesday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
After being dealt to the Hawks and then getting re-routed to Oklahoma City via trade, Gay will become a free agent following Wednesday's release. 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, expect Gay to receive plenty of interest on the open market as an accomplished veteran who's incredibly reliable.

The Hawks traded Gay, TyTy Washington, Usman Garuba and a second-round pick to the Thunder in exchange for Patty Mills on Saturday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gay was recently traded to the Hawks but will now end up with the Thunder. The 36-year-old forward could be waived by Oklahoma City as the team is going through a youth movement.

Gay exercised his $6.4 million player option for the 2023-24 campaign Monday and was traded from the Jazz to the Hawks, along with a future second-round pick, in exchange for John Collins, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
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.

EDGE Analysis

Gay (back) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Nuggets, Eric Walden of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gay is slated to miss a ninth straight game due to lower-back soreness. His status for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Lakers remains to be determined, but it'd be surprising to see the veteran return to action with the Jazz out of the playoff picture.
