    You should have posted that in the GARM as Rockets legend Rudy Gay....drafted by the Rockets.

    And swapped for Shane Battier.

    That's pretty impressive longevity considering he was never a marquee piece of the teams he was on. He had an enigmatic career.

    He played a very long time and made a huge amount of money.

    17 season,3 times played in the playoffs (2 with the never miss Spurs) and not a single series win. One playoff game for every 59 regular season games is an impressively terrible ratio.

    GOAT all time empty calorie player. Put up digits on a lot of mid to outright bad team. Memphis and Toronto got noticeably better by dumping him.

    I remember when the Rockets drafted the guy...I was actually looking forward to it, but then immediately swapped for Battier.

    Yeah, I understand people dogging him on his way out, but you have to appreciate keeping your body more or less NBA-compliant for nearly 2 decades. He got playing time b/c he could play -- maybe not excel, and definitely not a champion or anything, but he won playing time over a ton of other players.

    We never got to see the gay dick combo and I'll forever feel upset about it.

    They could've picked up Josh Primo for an extra adjective.
