The Heat would be an ideal team for Rudy, they can pay him the money he wants and are a come up playoff team who were very unlucky not to make it this season. Depending on how Gay feels about this, he could be leaving a team with a bad Front Office and joining another with the same problem. Everyone at this point in time seems to be unsure of Wade's plans this offseason, claiming recently he doesn't need to chase rings anymore could give an indicator that he would like to return to the Bulls, but both he and Jimmy Butler expressed frustration with the Bulls Front Office through the season with their lack of support and help. This deal all depends on Dwayne Wade and whether he resigns with the Bulls or not. Of course, Brooklyn does not own their draft picks this year or next, so Rudy would be entering the organization knowing they want to lean on him heavily to turn them around. With three players in the starting lineup who can all put up at least 18 points a game Brooklyn's next few blurry seasons could become slightly more clear. Lin is coming off an injury ridden season, showed that when he plays he does, in fact, help Brooklyn to win. The trio of Lin, Gay and Lopez could even scrape up a fair amount of wins. If he does choose to sign with the Nets he would definitely improve their already very poor team. Although a huge factor in swinging Rudy to Brooklyn is the home factor, with players these days loving to play from their home city or as close to home as they can Rudy might love to play for where he was born, Brooklyn New York. This then becomes all about what Rudy values more, money or winning. Brooklyn can offer Rudy a large sum of money however they are again very far out of the playoffs. However, if he was willing to become a secondary or even third option at Phoenix he would not only receive a max contract but could become a veteran presence Phoenix are looking for to guide their young rookies like Devin Booker. Meaning Gay would be losing valuable time he could otherwise have at another team. Rudy also has made it known that he would like to return to a playoff team, Gay is now 30 years old and an 11-year league veteran and Phoenix are still a long while out of the playoffs. Meaning Phoenix may want to keep developing these young guys. The only issue is that T.J is only 23 years old, and Derrick Jones J.R who plays both shooting Guard and small forward off the bench is also very young. With T.J Warren manning the small forward position Phoenix could be a great destination for Rudy.
