I swear Memphis is making a mistake by trying to trade Gay

Why trade your leading scorer when you're 22-10?

these small market teams don't want to pay the luxury tax.

Phoenix should go for it, especially if they manage to include Beasley and keep their best 1st round pick. They need a go-to scorer badly.

All these small market teams cry about not making enough money then they go and do things like these. As a fan that is a slap in the face to me. That you not only have a contending team but you are willing to let a young player who has proven his worth for 6 years or so in the league, go for nothing?. The team is gelling and you are just going to trade him for spare parts because PER says so? Then you wonder why I don't shell out money for your product. FOH.

Why did so many teams give up on ZBo then?

a) it's a business
b) he is not worth the $
c) Marlins won 2 titles by playing the sell game

edit: No one needs PER to tell me Rudy Gay isn't worth his contract.

Zach was given up on by losing teams. He's not a great example. The Marlins also aren't a good example bc of how Baseball trades and roster building works. When they dumped contracts they brought back boat loads of young potential that cost next to nothing.

Indiana-Miami should be a good game
Houston vs. Lakers could be interesting

It puts our losses in perspective since everyone else is doing the same, no?

Nets playing well as of late, and just like that the division got interesting again.
