ACY'S GONE NOOOOO!


Acy was probably what sold the deal, he probably has more value than Gay

Raptor fans hype other players, but they forget Vasquez is horrible defender, even worse then Calderon... Lowry as bad as he has been this year he still head and shoulder better player and better starter then Vasquez and Calderon.

this is BACKWARDS trade.

Calderon is better than Vasquez
Davis is better than Patterson

AND WE TAKE ON ADDITIONAL MONEY

This is just stupid. We also give up Acy (2nd rounder) for what reason. This is brutal.

I'd prefer to keep Stew and give Monte Morris
I'd really prefer to keep Morris and Stew and give the great Killian Hayes and 2nd round picks

The problem I see with this trade is our team actually improving. Patterson and Hayes will help our front court big time. Vasquez is a better fit for our starting lineup with Lowry off the bench and Salmons gives us a good ball handler at the wing position. Their must me more moves coming unless Masai's intentions is a top 4 playoff seed

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


nice, we give up Acy and Grays expiring too.

Horrendous **** trade.


I am happy with the trade. Acy and Gray's expirings would not amount to much anyway. You can find dozens of players of Acy's caliber.

Masai might as well of dumped Rudy for Charlie V & Stuckey at the beginning of the season if we don`t get anything worthy of mention back.


Lol. So you're basically saying that if Masai doesn't get a lot more than CV or Stuckey, it's a bad move because it's not CV and Stuckey? We're 6-12 and keeping Rudy has cost us games, not won us any. The tank is in full swing, and I doubt we would've been worse without him to start the year because he's shot us into a bunch of clutch losses.

YES! GTFO RUDY! I'm kinda worried that we'll be better with Vasquez though. Dude will actually try to use JV.

I wasn't going to watch the Lakers game but I might just tune in to see how this team plays without Gay.

Vasquez is a terrible PG, plays heroball, plays no defense, needs the ball all the time and his shot is streaky

He's a back-up at best.
