UPDATE: Gay to Raptors agreed in principle MERGED

[hroz]

Gay for Granger makes sense.

What about
Gay to atl.
J Smooth to h-town
Parsons Paterson Aldrich White 2 2nd red picks to grizz

[Pacers Fan]

Paul George.

[LA68]

The Grizz feel like they didn't miss Gay last year and and Gay makes a lot of money for a long time. All he really does is hit shots. He doesn't defend or handle the ball or drive much. He makes more than Gasol and about the same as Zach and he isn't nearly the player they are.

Laker will be rebuilding in two years to they won't take any deal that extends beyond that. Some team back east will take Gay. Lots of dumb teams back there.

As much as I'd love Smith, Atnalta is not dealing him, they're preparing to make a run at Namrepus.

Yea....they should've traded him to the Cavs when they had the chance. Dumb idiots screwed themselves over in the long run.

[Dissonance]

That Cavs deal was ****ing awful. Expirings, late pick(s) and cap space. It doesn't make em any better now. Even made a WCF run after so.

And Hickson was never make or break. Suns wanted a viable vet PF to stay in playoffs which is why they tried to get Boozer from Utah in a 3 way in Cavs deal.


I remember Suns asked for Gay, pick, and Conley for Amare previously. I also remember reading Memphis GM was interested but owner overruled him saying it was too much. Which it was.

They had a chance to swing him for KG, but opted for Marion instead (which was stupid). Imagine a defensive lineup featuring both KG and Marion. That would have been the greatest perimeter defensive team in the league

[Dissonance]

Oh, god, I had forgotten about that. I think I did my best to block it out. We all agreed at the time, ship Amare out get KG. It made sense too upgrade wise. As well as scheme, instead of sending out Marion. You have 3/4 coverered defensively. But Kerr just got the job so he pussied out. Marion did screw himself not agreeing to C's near MAX extension though.

only 41% of them for a volume shooter. Eek

[Diable]

Only way to trade Gay is to do a straight up salary dump. His salary is just not in line with the impact that he makes and no one is going to be willing to part with much of value to get him.

I don't think Boston makes the best trade partner, but if Memphis wants to listen to something built around Green and Courtney Lee I'd gladly take Rudy aboard. You'd essentially be running back the Jeff Green logic with a guy more likely to actually produce, but in the end I think Memphis hangs up the phone.
