Rumor is that Raptors are still pursuing Gay, Calderon being shopped to a 3rd team.

A few flaws with that proposal:

-We'd have to give more
-Memphis is dealing Gay to save money, they won't want Barea.

Not giving enough isn't a flaw! Maybe we return their 1st though.
And they cut $4.5 million right away and another $5 million from Roy after the season. Plus its not like they are tanking the season - Barea is a useful piece on a contender, not dead weight.

Looking at wiretap saying Davis is involved, I tweaked it to this:

since the draft terrence ross was a perfect fit for our team. Athletic swingman who can shoot the three and play good D. but instead we got chase...

Not sure but I liked Ross coming out of UW.

I'd do it without Ross and Wroten. Are bench clearly isn't working - this would be a great trade to dump some salary and replace it with some ornery, veteran swag next offseason like Mo Williams, Tony Allen, Stephen Jackson. Maybe even some annoying big men like Zaza or Turiaf? Yea I'm liking that already. We've been needing some legit nasty. I know Kahn has intentionally been going after good guys, but we need at least a few guys you don't want to make eye contact with, not this Disney On Hardwood crap.

Yeah, Ross wasn't there at 18 and Chase is a good player..

From Doogie's scoops chat about the Gay/TOR third team:

2:26
Doogie: I checked today to see if MN was possibly in with 3-way scenarios... and I got a loud no.

No love for a Gay, Love combo? That's gay.

during the offseason, i recall someone asking david kahn about the shved rumors. kahn was quick to dismiss it. can't find the video unfortunately.

That was an on the record conversation with Kahn though. He doesn't like to say anything until deals are finalized. Did same with Gelabale/Johnson.

This is different. It's not Kahn, and it's not on the record.

“@MarkRemme: #NBA will announce Rising Stars Challenge participants today. #Twolves will find out this afternoon if Shved, Rubio or D-Will are selected.”

Rubio and DWill have no business being in that.

Most likely, but neither did Jeremy Lin last year.

maybe it was kahn (unless there's something else in the chat i'm not aware of). it could be that the organization is really opposed to the idea and maybe it could be smokescreen. i really don't think calderon is that far fetched.

Had to share this tweet I just saw

RT @conradkaczmarek: Just made a bet with a Celtics fan that Jimmer scores more than Rondo tonight... Smh

Rudy Gay is traded!!!!!

Post #660 » by **Calinks** » Thu Jan 31, 2013 4:19 am

Robby Kalland ‏@RKalland
That was surreal never seen a guy get traded before. Ed went upstairs to the Hawks exec. office w/ Raptors brass. (cont'd)

Robby Kalland ‏@RKalland
...Ed came down the stairs and ripped his shirt off and stormed into locker room. Came out about 10 mins. later, dressed w/ towel on head.

Robby Kalland ‏@RKalland
And beats headphones in hand...HE WAS TOO SAD TO EVEN LISTEN TO MUSIC!!! #HugEdDavis
