The specific content of the transaction is: the Eagles sent John Collins to get Gay and a future second-round pick from the Jazz. At the same time, the Hawks received a $25.3 million transaction exception, which is the largest transaction exception in NBA history.
To complete the deal, Gay will exercise a $6.4 million player option for next season. Gay, who is about to turn 37 years old, averaged only 5.2 points and 2.9 rebounds per game in the just-concluded season, which are career lows.
