It is great that Gay is a calming influence but he is still wildly overpaid and a bad fit with the roster that this team has.
Based on their play so far it's pretty hard to argue he's been a bad fit with the roster. What are they, 5-2 since they acquired him? Knocking off the Clips, Nuggets, and Pacers in that stretch too so not like it's been basement fodder.

His FG% isn't always super efficient but ultimately he's been getting the job done. That and the Raps have been incredibly fun to watch since they picked him up.
