The deal is reportedly for two years with a player option.

The 6’9” forward has been in the playoffs in three of his 15 seasons and has never made an NBA All-Star team. Last season with the Spurs he averaged 11.4 points and 7.1 rebounds in 21.6 minutes. Gay shot 38% from three-point range last season with the Spurs.
