Gay heading to Toronto as part of a three way ...

[Killakobe81]

Per ESPN ... Reaction?

[Koolaid_Man]

So much for the Gay Pride parade I had planned

[blkroadrunners]

Bill Simmons got it right.

[Trainwreck2100]

So much for the Gay Pride parade I had planned

just cause there's a bunch of negro black men with you, when you do it, doesn't make it a parade

[Clipper Nation]

Detroit wins the trade simply by dumping old-ass Tayshaun and getting a solid point guard, tbh....

Terrible trade for both the Grizzlies and the Raptors... the Raps need to be tanking instead of getting mid-tier players like Gay and winning too much, whereas the Grizzlies are going to be ruined by Tayshaun and his Isolayshauns...

[Killakobe81]

Lol Grizz fans on ESPN board ... Hollinger ruining their title shot .... Yeah, right. Grizz are good but weren't winning shit regardless.

[Koolaid_Man]

The Grizzles are the kind of team that can and will beat the Spurs in a 7 game series...but on the flip side they couldn't beat LA in a 7 gamer...we need the Grizzles around..once we get in the play-off hunt we should own the West...OKC and the Clips will finally understand the meaning of: " A Tale of Two Halves"

[baseline bum]

Wonder if Detroit has soured on Knight or if they just wanted the expiring.

[Killakobe81]

Dumars isn't done dealing ... I would assume. Stuckey probably gone next.

[ElNono]

Gay just got sent to the tree of woe... I'm sure there's a joke there somewhere...

[dunkman]

Calderon still doesn't know where will play. Too bad, he was playing quite well for Toronto. Wish he gets bought-out and signs as backup PG for the Spurs.

[Reck]

Talk about your overreaction.

Blowing the whole thing up because they weren't first in their division :cry

Just be glad you're in a playoff spot. Probably wont be the case next year.

[hater]

Calderon to the Lakers for Steve Blake and a box of tampons :pctoss

[Killakobe81]

Since we short on raptors and Grizz fans what do our Pistons brothers think?

[ElNono]

Apparently, the trade is:

Gay -> Toronto
Calderon -> Pistons
Davis, Prince, Daye -> Grizzlies

[irishock]

Detroit, wow...

[dunkman]

Apparently, the trade is:

Gay -> Toronto
Calderon -> Pistons

Calderon isn't confirmed yet, Colangelo heading to the studio for interview. There may be a 4-th team involved.

[ABDENOUR POWER]

Love it!

Even if Calderon walks at the end of the year, Detroit would have upwards of $33 Million in cap space. Tons of flexibility for signings or trades - now if only anybody decent was actually available...

I don't understand the trade, the Raptors play much better with Calderon then with Lowry. Lowry is a good player, but lacks in vision. And about Ed Davis, I guess colangelo thinks Amir Johnson will continue playing well.

[DeadlyDynasty]

okay

[Vinnie_Johnson]

Maggette's 10.8M, Calderon's 10.6, Bynum's 3.2, Maxiell's 5M and Rip's buyout $6.09 all off the books after the season. #Pistons

In certain situations perhaps. The moments where they need iso scoring, but Gay overall was pretty inefficient and it shouldn't be too big of a deal net-wise as they probably improve defensively some too.

huge pet peeve of mine as well...that tends to happen when trying to use phrases you previously heard for the first time

I understand that, but for a team that isn't particularly adept at the offensive end, won't losing one of their only scorers hurt their chances in the 2013 playoffs--where the game slows down and points are harder to come by?

Well they had their best playoff run without Gay so I don't know how much that hurts them. All that matters is net gain. Their defense should be even better which means they won't need as many points. Gay wasn't exactly scoring a ton or efficiently either..

Memphis scoring <80 points in a playoff game is going to be hilarious.

Kind of sad for Prince. Dude was with The Pistons since forever and was extremely adapted and in integrated in Detroit community. It's a business but still, a lot of Detroiters are gonna miss him tbh. He used to lunch in some low profile coney restaurants around Auburn Hills, he is a really nice guy.

One of my favorite fan-shot game moments. The only ones I like better are the ones of the McDyess tip in in Los Angeles a couple of seasons ago.

I didn't find it that funny when MEM bounced the Spurs as an 8th said with no Gay tbh..

[TIMMYtoZO]

:lol at all of these teams.

:lol at Toronto desperate for a "star" and go for Rudy Gay
:lol at Memphis for ever being called a contender even before this move
:lol at the Pistons thinking capspace will net them a big name. Big markets get the big names. No one wants to go to that shithole city.

So all in all, this was an average move that either kept the same teams average or made the shitty teams a tad less shittier.

:lol NBA

[resistanze]

Another Colangelo classic. Detroit gets a ball distributor and an expiring contract and Memphis sheds salary and gets a decent improving young player. Toronto meanwhile is on the books for $18 million for a chucker that barely shoots 40%, can't rebound or defend. A black mini-Bargnani.

[Latarian Milton]

there've been so many rumor threads around the board that when the trade actually takes place, we'll habitually take it as a rumor as well.

[da_suns_fan]

This thread is just another example of how the average nba fan is clueless.

Toronto got raped. Memphis got the best player in the deal (Davis) while also getting rid of Gay's awful, awful contract.

[HarlemHeat37]

I like Ed Davis and I've been hyping him for a while, but he isn't the best player in the deal:lol..

It's still a terrible deal, despite Gay being the best player in the deal(I'm aware Gay has had a poor season btw)..as I explained earlier, this is a deal that will ensure Colangelo keeps his job by fooling the shitty Raptors ownership and hockey media..

[resistanze]

Rudy Gay being on the books for $53 million automatically makes him the worst player in this deal.

[Venti Quattro]

Gay... Three-way... What a thread title.

[Killakobe81]

Gay has his faults that stem all the way back to uconn but he is CURRENTLY the best player the deal. I think Davis has the potential to be better, and I thought although soft, Date had showed signs of promise as a rookie ...haven't seen Detroit much, since I see more Laker Clip and mavs games then any other so I see Detroit maybe 6 times a year max. What happened to dates promise? Or Stuckey? When I.do see Detroit its all Greg Monroe, Bynum and lately Drummond ...

This is good trade for Memphis. They get rid of overrated Gay and received solid package. Detroit was salary dumping, not a biggie there.

But big WTF to Toronto. Now they have fat Lowry at point, overrated DeRozan, overrated and overpaid Gay, overpaid Fields, overpaid scrub Bargnani. This team isnt going anywhere soon. Since they cant sign big FA, they took fat Gay`s contract, thinking he is this all-star player ? WTF.

[rayjayjohnson]

Bill Simmons got it right.

[Raven]

amazing trade for the raptors but their players don't fit at all. Maybe moving derozan or adapt him to the 3 range and some D, but i don't see that likely.

Yeah. DeRozan, Gay and Fields are very similar. They surely cant play all together in same time with successes. + they have young Ross asking for minutes at SG and bricking C in Bargnani. Good luck to Raptors coach trying to make this mess somehow work.

[racm]

Raps offense will be long 2 after long 2, tbh.

[AaronY]

Woj took some shots at Hollinger for this trade in today's column:


Once again, the breaking down of this Grizzlies roster is a reminder that every NBA star had better make sure he understands the track records of the owners and executives with whom he's turning over his future.The Grizzlies issued a statement on the trade late Wednesday, and embarrassingly had "general manager Chris Wallace" throw out the obligatory organizational quotes on the deal. Only, Wallace had nothing to do with the trade. Nothing. He isn't making calls to teams. He isn't consulted by the new regime. He's waiting until they agree on the terms of his inevitable parting. So, Pera and new CEO Jason Levien take an unpopular trade and assign it to Wallace in the news release.
Levien is making these deals based largely on the recommendations of John Hollinger, a statistician who worked for a cable sports company. The San Antonio Spurs once used him as a consultant and regretfully took his advice to sign a free agent named Jackie Butler. It was such a disaster, the Spurs had to attach Luis Scola to a trade to get Butler out of town.
