I know it was more easy to trade rudy because he had an outrageous contract and a player option the following year for 19m. His age was probably a factor too. But hey, he signed a contract extension that pays him 13m just recently. Assuming we made the same trade but wtihout gay, it was derozan, would this team be better? A starting lineup that consists of
Kyle Lowry
Terrence Ross
Rudy Gay
Amir Johnson
Jonas Valanciunas
allows everyone to play their natural position. and I do think Gay who is still ball dominant, is much more efficient than DeRozan. He can also guard the Pierces, Lebrons, Durants because of his size 6'8. nice physical frame. Has the ability to show up in clutch situations. Looking at how he plays now, he plays much differently and i believe it was just casey's system that forced him to be the main guy and chuck up all the shots. With a different coach with this roster, i think rudy gay would be a nice fit on this team as long as we have a low post threat pf to replace johnson (like a cousins or randolph or marc gasol) to open up driving lanes for him
