Rudy Gay Trade

[Quirk]

If it wasn't for the Rudy Gay Trade we'd have Jose Calderon instead of Grievas Vasquez, Ed Davis instead of Pattrick Patterson and Quincy Acy instead of Chuck Hayes.

It seems to me the team would be better with Calderon, Davis and Acy. Ujiri did a good job of recovering from a bad Colangelo trade, especially getting 2Pat, though it costs us Acy.

But then we'd still have Rudy Gay.

If we never traded Calderon and ED for Gay, we certainly wouldn't have Rudy Gay. I'm comparing what we traded for gay to what we got for him.

[Snizzoop]

My bad...I read it wrong.

I'll take the younger Vasquez at his current role over Jose.

Ed Davis still hasn't done anything to make us second guess letting him go.

And Quincy had a sweet beard ... but he's barely starting for the Knicks. That makes him like ... 5th string anywhere else.

Not to mention getting Lou Williams and Bebe for John Salmons.

who gives a shit if it "costed" us acy?? seriously.

At first I thought this was a thread celebrating trading Rudy Gay. I thought it might be lifted from a Grizzlies page But, I see what you did there. However, as much as you can't predict the order of things, here goes. If we still had Calderon, we would not have present day Lowry. Can't knock Ed but it's handy to have one stretch 4 on the team that can actually stretch things. And Acy is shining in New York but that whole "if you can make it there, you'll make it anywhere..." thing doesn't really apply to the Knicks.

All true...

Can I bold the bolded even more? It needs to take up the whole screen just for emphasis

Honestly, wtf was Atlanta thinking? Waiving Salmons saved them money....but they weren't going to be a tax team, Lou was going to be expiring this year anyway, and Bebe's an international 1st round pick they could've kept stashed another year...

They were thinking "I wish Masai would stop staring into our souls like that ... Why isn't he blinking?... He hasn't said anything in 2 hours ... I'm kinda worried guys ... his eye is twitching..."

I think that deal was icing on the cake for Masai.

A young first rounder and an off the bench sparkplug, for a guy we were going to waive anyway.

lol Atlanta.

Good point. Not a abig fan of Williams, but Bebe is intriguiging, and does sweeten the pie. Still think Calderon is better than Vasquez or Williams, and prefer ED to PP, though not by much, I like PP. Acy is better than Hayes.

So the final tally is Calderon, Davis. Acy for Patterson, Vasquez, Hayes, Williams and Bebe.

OK, I admit Bebe tips the scale a little for me.
