MEM shopping Rudy Gay (Raps interested, PHX in lead? P. 32)

[lander]

We'll not get a player anywhere near that talented anytime soon. Fans of this team being this absurdly picky is ridicuous considering our history.

That's true, but unless we're contender's , i don't care because our roster isn't talented enough with gay and that's not a knock on him! we're just not in a position to be adding high priced players to a mediocre roster at this point.

Yeah if we get Rudy we have to add more

If the goal is "be a decent playoff team":

Lowry
Ross
Gay
Milsap
Val

Thats a decent team, I don't like the idea though

How about now?

[SwaggWagg]

The chance to draft a perfect prospect for this city like Wiggins may not reappear anytime soon either.

Dude, no way are we getting Wiggins. Too overrated anyway.

[lander]

^^And Rudy isn't?

[HEKTOR]

Can someone help me think of ways to obtain both Gay and Milsap, trade offer scenario whatever without hitting over the caps.

Lowry
DD
Gay
Milsap
Val

Fapworthy.

It's more or less not happening if we are to keep Lowry, DD, and Val.
Here's taking a shot at it though:

TO RAPTORS:
Paul Millsap
Raja Bell

TO JAZZ:
Andrea Bargnani
Terrence Ross

TO RAPTORS:
Rudy Gay
Jared Bayless
Hamid Haddadi
Josh Selby

TO GRIZZLIES:
Jose Calderon
Linas Kleiza
Alan Anderson
Quincy Acy
2nd Rd Pick 2014 (SAC) via Toronto

LOWRY / Lucas / Selby
DEROZAN / Bayless / Bell
GAY / Fields / Pietrus
MILLSAP / Davis / Johnson
VALANCIUNAS / Gray / Haddadi

why would we give up ross for millsap who is a 6 foot 5 power foward that will be a free agent at the end of the year?

[HEKTOR]

We wouldn't, much like Memphis wouldn't dump Gay on us for Calderon and scraps even if it did get them under the cap. Also, isn't Millsap 6'7/6'8?

[Ilmago_Bargs7]

[dballislife]

The chance to draft a perfect prospect for this city like Wiggins may not reappear anytime soon either.

The chances of drafting Wiggins is 25% at best and even then it doesn't eliminate the possibility of still being a treadmill team in the future and Wiggins walking out of TOR in 5 years.

25% at potential greatness seems awesome, considering you can reset on failure and in contrast with the 0% we have been practicing.

Not to mention COMPLETELY ignoring the fact that 2014 is looking to be a stacked draft with at least 2 franchise players.

But yeah lets keep this treadmill going, it's worked well so far right....guys?

25% at best. It's not like tanking until the ping pong ball bounce in your favor is a viable long term strategy. Just look at SAC; no sign of progress after years of drafting in the top 5.

The reality is this team's floor is probably 5th worst at the moment. Besides, after watching "franchise" players like Dwight Howard, Carmelo Anthony, Lebron James, Kevin Garnett, Deron Williams etc leave their teams, do you honestly think that simply drafting a blue chip prospect is progress? Especially under this FO?

[The Flyest]

you lament this FO, but at the same time pine for mediocrity by the same FO? Child please. Make up your mind
