The 6-foot-8-inch Gay, a career 18.4 points per game scorer, adds length and athleticism to the Spurs lineup. The former UConn Husky has only ever played in one playoff series, as a member of the Memphis Grizzlies back in 2012. Though he won’t earn close to what he would have with the Kings, he’ll finally be playing for a team with championship aspirations. He could have opted in to making $14.3 million in 2017-2018 with the Kings but instead bet on being healthy enough to earn himself a roster spot - and a sizable (though not huge) paycheck - with a contender. Gay, who turns 31 in August, was limited to 30 games for the Sacramento Kings last season due to a torn Achilles tendon.
