I've never liked his game. The fact that every team he leaves seem to get better doesn't help the overall assessment either.

only two ways. 1) he accepts full mle. in this case we'd have to either let roberson and gibson go (to stay sufficiently under the apron), or kanter. 2) some kind of sign and trade using kanter. in this scenario we MIGHT be able to keep both roberson and taj depending on how much rudy gay got.
there's other moving parts that could affect this (stretching singler, for example) but those are basically the only two ways.

i'd much prefer swaggy over gay. swaggy isn't coming off an achilles.

While I agree I think you are looking at it wrong. Swaggy is a SG only. Gay is a 3/4. I think Abrines might be on the way out, with Kanter, for Gay. If you pull Gay out of it you know that Abrines to dump Kanter is fair. So you are getting a rotation 3/4 in the deal and freeing up space to keep Roberson and Taj while Swaggy replaces Abrines. Another possibility is Swaggy replaces Roberson.
Can OKC really dump their crap on Sacramento in a S&T? How about Kanter, Singler, McDermott and Abrines for Gay? Dump the 3 worst contracts with Abrines. Would Sacramento take on that much bad contract for Abrines?

slick_watts wrote:i don't think our rotation players (i.e. grant, mcdermott, singler, kanter, christon at the moment) are at the level where we can afford to turn down an upgrade because of minor fit concerns. swaggy is way better than mcdermott, singler, christon. he'd be an upgrade. maybe you have to play him and abrines together which could be a disaster on defense but hey it's still an upgrade and what else are we getting this summer?
if i thought gay was going to come back at 80%+ after his achilles i'd feel ok about him actually. but achilles is the toughest injury to come back from and gay is 30.

Assuming Gay is healthy, why would you not want him at the 4? That's where he's been effective and best fits our roster.
