UPDATE: Adrian Wojnarowski ‏@WojYahooNBA 31s
Sacramento will send John Salmons, Vasquez, Patterson and Hayes to the Raptors, sources tell Yahoo Sports.

Aaron Bruski ‏@aaronbruski 1m
If that last Woj RT is true then SAC will have done yeoman’s work here, regardless of Gay’s shooting issues.

I can dig it...

bibby1023 · Post #4 » by **bibby1023** » Mon Dec 9, 2013 12:22 am

same here, I actually like it now knowing who and what contracts are leaving.

Wonder if this means Mcallum is ready for back up point guard minutes?

I don't like it. Not that I was head over heels for Vasquez, but he's the only guy on our roster who looks to set other guys up first. Now we have an inefficient, ball stopping chucker, who doesn't know his limitations and thinks he's Kevin Durant, including a bunch of shoot first guards. No role player/glue guys left really, although I understand those guys are easier find...just don't think Gay is the answer at all. Would rather get a SF in the draft, and I hear the best PG's this year are shoot first guys. How does this all fit?

Totally hope I'm wrong and would love to eat crow later.

Cousins/JT/Ndyaie
Landry/JT/Williams
Gay/Williams/Outlaw
Bmac/Thornton/Jimmer
IT/Mcallum/Jimmer
??

If I had to guess more moves will be made.

I guess we'll see more Ray Mac?

Have fun with Rudy Gay guys.

Strengths:
Bans stat sheets in locker room
Shoots 25% and hits buzzer beater at end of game

Weaknesses:
Low jersey sales

"Will send" as in proposed or going to happen? This would also mean that Isaiah moves to starter, and I would assume we're gonna bring up McCallum.
But hey, what a big splash move if this does happen!

Thomas
McLemore
Gay
Williams
Cousins

A lot better than what we started the season with, I must say.

Ugh.

Acy is a great pickup by you guys. He's athletic and can shoot the rock as well while giving you 110% effort on both ends on the floor. Reggie Evans with a jumpshot.

He could actually start at PF.

Aaron Bruski ‏@aaronbruski 2m
Also, it should be noted, there’s no guarantee SAC lets Rudy do what he was doing in TOR. In fact, it’s probably unlikely.

Let's hope Bruski is right on the money with this one

We also got Quincy Acy and AAron Gray

@WojYahooNBA Along with Rudy Gay, Quincy Acy and Aaron Gray will be traded to the Kings too, league sources tell Yahoo Sports.

I know it's not as simple as saying it, but I'd rather have Asik.

I hope you're right, but will Gay really accept that? He gets paid almost 20 mill a year and thinks he's a superstar.

Reported Kings will play Gay as a stretch 4. See Gay and Williams as interchangeable on defense.

Post #16 » by **City of Trees** » Mon Dec 9, 2013 12:35 am

IT/ Ray Mac (YES!)
McLemore
Williams
Gay
Cousins

That is one hell of an athletic line up

So who's gonna be playing defense or passing?

I hope I'm a dumb fan and Pete is a genius.

C's fan, I love this trade for you guys. The stretch 4 is interesting.. I don't see it working. But the hope has to be that you can coach him into a more efficient player (it's happened before). His money is awful, but it's this year and next, and basically equivalent to what you were paying the guys you moved.

4 chuckers in the starting lineup.... at least Isaiah is starting to pass a bit.
