Re: [OFFICIAL] Memphis acquires Rudy Gay and Stromile Swift for Shane Battier

Hopefully he gets signed soon so I can see him play at Long Beach on Saturday.

Re: [OFFICIAL] Memphis acquires Rudy Gay and Stromile Swift for Shane Battier
Rudy Gay Interview
Quote:
Now that you’re officially a member of the Grizzlies, how does it feel?
“It’s a wonderful feeling being on a playoff team, a great team. Obviously I’m not the first option right off the bat but I get to grow with a lot of players and there’s a lot of veteran leadership.”
You were disappointed to fall to eighth in the draft, but with time to reflect, do you think everything worked out for the best?
“Definitely. At first I’m thinking, ‘It hurts, I think I should be higher than this (eighth)’. But I’m grateful to be in this spot. Like I said before, there’s a lot of great players, a lot of veteran leadership and the chance to make a push to the Finals.”
How did it feel to have Jerry West pursue you and make this trade?
“Just knowing Jerry West, he’s the symbol. It’s great to be around him and I’m looking forward to hearing some of his expertise as soon as possible.”
What kind of contribution can you make as a rookie next season?
“I can bring versatility, I’m a consistent shooter, I can bring all the intangibles. Whatever the team needs I’ll do it.”

Re: [OFFICIAL] Memphis acquires Rudy Gay and Stromile Swift for Shane Battier
What is lost in all the feelings we have about losing Battier is that Rudy Gay is also a good guy. He will make Memphis proud on and off the court. There will NEVER be another Shane Battier but it is not like we traded him for Ricky Davis.
I am anticipating a big game tonight.

Maybe Shane will be back next year. We send them Stro for Shane and their 1st round pick.
