Seriously???...if gay is shooting, the defense pf is out the hole guarding him...and okafor can go head to head with almost any center in rebounding...

Yea i know but on offense the wiz can use gay as the mismatch as pf and have singleton on the wing like a sf...he shot 34% last yr from the 3...with gay penatrating it can make for some nice kick outs... (if gay somehow thinks to pass)

How exactly are you going to do that?
"Hey, excuse me Mr. Opposing Coach. I would like for you to have your big slow PF guard Rudy Gay and put your quick SF on Chris Singleton, even though both of us know that Chris Singleton can't create off the dribble and shoots south of 30% from 3-point range."
It doesn't work that way. The opposition will put a SF on Gay and a PF on Singleton. You can't create mismatches just by labeling Gay the PF.

Excellent point. Gay does average just half a rebound less per game than Nene. That's impressive considering that Gay. Has gotten only 12.7 more minutes per game than Nene. Imagine how many more rebounds Gay might get if a game went to overtime or something. WOW!

Well, in fairness, we took Mike Pence off their hands. Taking back Mahinmi is the least they can do.

Hope my dad isnt reading this over my shoulder....
But enough with the homo jokes, the only guy i'd trade for him is Nene. Nene + Ariza? I know Crawford is Crawford but he surely has some value more than a throw in for Gay if we are giving them Nene. But it does give the Griz what they want, depth.
Using Oka's contract to get him doesnt sit well with me when you look at all those big contracts in a few years.
Still dunno. I like what Nene brings even if he is injury plagued at the moment. And hes cheaper. And not really that much older.
