I don't see much to like in that trade....I think we can do better

[thejohnnygold]

Regarding the Gay trade, does anyone else think Memphis cashed that chip too early? They were built to make some noise this post-season.....now? I'll need to see how that line-up works....but I guarantee no one wanted to see them in the playoffs pre-trade.

tyshaun prince can still ball, i mean he isnt as atheltic as rudy gay, but he is efficent with the ball and can score. ed davis and austin daye also give them some well needed depth. i honestly think each team got better with this trade.

Who says no to this trade?

I dont know what the mavs rotation is like, so i dont really know what they would think, but surely they have to make a move, even just for the sake of making a move... They are not looking good right now at all...

no way mavs would go after lin's contract, collison has been one of there most consistent players this season, so i dont see them dealing him. mavs needs a center

I agree with Sir Thursday. looks like everybody came out a little better after the rudy gay trade. prince can still ball, but there will be some fall off in that position(IMO).

I feel 'meh' about the Gay trade. Just speaking from MEM's perspective, wasn't super bad for MEM or super good.

memphis also got a big contract off there books and a draft pick

When Kevin Love decides he wants out...

no way LA would take stoudemire, he is probably the most unwanted player in the league with his huge contract and his glass everything.

kevin love has 4 YEARS left on his contract, he isnt going anywhere anytime soon.

k love only has 2 years after this year b4 he can opt out early in his contract. the way he and minny have been getting along makes me believe he will opt out. which leaves minny 1 1/2 years to either make up with him or trade him.

That Memphis trade has Hollinger written all over it. He moved Gay and his love of the long two for a three and D Tayshaun Prince and an athletic 4 for the future. He also got his hands on Leuer who is supposed to be a destitute man's Ryan Anderson. Looks like Memphis has dedicated itself to floor spacing shooters and pounding the paint big men. If you throw in some pick and role with Conley... This looks like a better team by subtraction. Their D got better and their offense got better by taking their lowest percentage player off the floor... And I guess putting him on the floor in another country.

By association, this trade is making the Harden trade even better for us in the fact that Gay would make the Raptors win more games, which would make that traded pick to OKC much lower than expected. Since the upcoming draft isn't gonna be fled with talent, it really was a steal for us. Have to give it to Morey

well, my point was that trade proposal was ridiculous. 1 and half years after this season isnt really soon either.

they are going to be deadly, now they can feed the ball to there 2 best players(gasol and randolph), and on the wing aside from tony allen every one is abovea 40% 3 point shooter

Too bad the Rockets can't re-trade for Courtney Lee, according to Stein the Celtics will try to shed salary before the trade deadline and Lee seems like a good fit back in Houston. Not sure his value fits his contract though.
