Re: Around the NBA 3.0
That Mavs/Blazers end had me rollin. Dirk thought he had that game clutched under his arm, instead LMA had a sweet game winner. Sucks to see Portland win considering our hole, but i'm not one to care for other teams, just gotta focus on winning every game here on out.

Re: Around the NBA 3.0
Looks like the Raptors will be getting Rudy Gay after all.

Re: Around the NBA 3.0

Re: Around the NBA 3.0
Grizzlies got Tayshaun Prince, I'm curious to see how that will work for them, I don't know how much Prince has left in the tank these days but if he's still decent then they got a good replacement for Gay in the line up already.

Re: Around the NBA 3.0
Plus they got out of Gay's terrible contract so it gives them needed flexibility going down the road.

Just goes to show - isn't any contract so bad it can't be moved.

Re: Around the NBA 3.0
well i mean if anyone showed us that it was joe johnson. anyway, gay is a really solid player, underwhelming offensively, but strong defensively. if he got to a situation where he was told not to put up so many shots, hed be awesome. i think he wouldve been awesome on the lakers, hes the exact type of player we need.

As long as he can hit the open three for them they will be fine.
They are probably a better team. This frees up Gasol and ZBO.

Re: Around the NBA 3.0
how are they a better team? gay is CLEARLY better than prince and davis. prince is awful, has anybody actually seen him or his stats? not a pretty sight. davis is an okay backup big man, but they will really feel the loss of gay. his volume shooting is meh, but his defense+allen is terror on the perimeter. this deal was 100% purely to save money, and its understandable from that end.they save something near 40 million next year with the new tax.
but yeah lets not pretend like this was a trade to make them a better team, because it clearly does not make them better.

Re: Around the NBA 3.0
At worst it is a lateral move. Gay's scoring can be replaced with their front court and Conley.
Prince is an average defender (well since I saw him last play)

Re: Around the NBA 3.0
Gay can never be part of a winning culture and excel, this season just solidified that. I'm glad we didn't move Pau for him. He would be been the same inefficient low IQ chucker he was in Memphis. No reason to have moved Pau for that.
He'll probably put up better numbers with the Raps because he'll have free reign to do what he wants there as opposed to Memphis but they aren't going anywhere anytime soon. Too good to get a top 5 pick in next years draft and bad enough that all they can hope for is a trip to the playoffs just to get eliminated in the first round.

He needs a reality check, funny how these guys were supposed to be so humble and likable a year ago. Guess you can't be winners with humility after all.

I remember all the general board would talk about was how Durant was so different from the other superstars because he was so humble. After a few years that humble label has really started to shed. The only superstar that I would say has been able to stay humble is D.Rose.
