Toronto should not get rid of Ed Davis, that is ridiculous. He's one of the few bright spots for the Raptors. The Raps have enough chuckers (henderson, derozan) I don't know how much more Rudy Gay would help.
The Memphis Grizzlies and Toronto Raptors are in “active trade discussions” about forward Rudy Gay, according to Mark Stein.
[Toronto] continue to pursue Gay and also covet Grizzlies forward Darrell Arthur. Toronto, sources said, has made veteran point guard Jose Calderon and blossoming young forward Ed Davis available as the two cornerstones of its offer.
[Boston Celtics] has registered exploratory interest in Gay. But making a trade for Gay would require Boston to part with Paul Pierce – a step that Celtics management may not be ready to take.

The Grizzles are looking more and more like a bottom half seed 5 or 6th. They're offense is in free fall (for the 1st 15-20 games was top 5) they are currently ranked 19th. Their defense keeps gives them an outside shot of of doing some series damage in the post season though.
Moving Gay or Arthur could be seen as a benefit to the Spurs, especially with Arthur as a pick and pop shooter at the four. The Spurs have had problems defending or allowing to many uncontested jumpers to bigs (that may be by design at times though)

When is the last time the Raptors made a good decision?
anything that gets rid of darrel arthur is good for SA
I think he meant Alan Anderson.
Terrence Ross is another young wing on their roster, which makes this even more puzzling.
And then there's the fact that they s ed out $20M for Landry Fields.
If Colangelol makes this move .......
Raptors trading Ed Davis
Whatever they do, TOR has to move Calderon for the sake of my fantasy team. Once Lowry takes over the reigns again and goes off I'll be in a prime position.
Hey, Amuseddaysleeper, you contribute to Bawful huh? I haven't read that in a while but was addicted to it for a couple of years. Please tell everyone there that I love their work. I'll start reading it agin now that you've reminded me.
Never. They sent a lottery pick to Houston for Lowry, and now he's supposedly not fitting in and a locker room problem. They're looking to move him months after overpaying Houston for him with a lottery pick. smh.
Wasn't really fond of the Derozan extension neither. 4-years for $42M for a player who produces like a role player isn't gonna cut it.
Meanwhile Curry's 4 yrs 38 m looks like a steal barring health concerns.
Colangelo gets zero credit. He clearly is one of the worst GM's in basketball.
Hey buddy, I myself haven't contributed in some time as work has been crazy these past few months but the site is still going strong! Will pass the word along my friend, thanks for the supportWhatever they do, TOR has to move Calderon for the sake of my fantasy team. Once Lowry takes over the reigns again and goes off I'll be in a prime position.

Sprained his ankle last night.
"Raptors looking to get Gay in a three way" - GAY
Ed Davis is a little bit overrated in my opinion, but I don't believe it'd be a good idea to package him in this trade. Though I can understand the reasoning somewhat since Gay>than either Calderon or Davis from both a basketball and a marketing standpoint. But what can I say? The Raptors are the worst on so many levels.
Ed Davis is a monster on the offensive glass. For a team that doesn't shoot the ball particularly well, that's huge. He destroyed the Spurs on the offensive glass so hopefully the trade doesn't go through. Hollinger's doing work, tbh.
I HOPE that trade does not go through, that would suck.
how is it that funny?
They did draft "that surefire hall of famer" Chris Bosh.
Pause...No .
For literally the 9th time in the last two seasons, this is past scary for one player to have this many injuries in such a short span. Anyone ever heard of someone rolling an ankle 9 times in a dozen seasons let alone 2?
