    given the choice i would like mayo more than gay, but gay more than harden. with memphis its all going to be money and gay will give them the better package of picks and young cheap players. jj, amir/ed and 2013 pick with the 2 2nd rounders from this year maybe.
    From a Memphis perspective, I think any trade talk for Gay will have to start with DeRozan. I would be fine with DeRozan, Amir, JJ, Toronto's 2013 1st round pick and a 2012 1st round pick (which Toronto will have to find a way to acquire in another deal, so they are able to keep at least one lottery pick).

          It says that Memphis works better when operating out of the post.

            Zach Randolph is far from 100%?

              true. He's playing hurt out there you can see it. He's not impacting the game like he usually does

                i think 2 firsts is a bit steep for gay

                    • Simmons' rant about Rudy Gay

                      Had no idea where to put this and didn't want to make a thread, but here it is.

                      The Theo Ratliff's Expiring Contract Award for "Most Times Per Minute That Someone's Name Is About to Be Ejaculated by ESPN.com's Trade Machine"

                      To Rudy Gay, who spent Round 1 being defended by Caron Butler (playing with a broken hand), Randy Foye (six inches shorter than Gay) and Nick Young (who spent the last 25 years carefully constructing his life so the word "defense" was never involved) and submitted these numbers: 19.0 PPG, 42.1% FG, 21.1% 3FG, 5.7 FTA, 15.2 PER … and in the fourth quarter of Game 7, had more turnovers (one) than made field goals (zero) as the Clippers pulled away in Memphis.

                      So what happens now? The Grizzlies are sitting at $62 million in 2013, and that's not counting O.J. Mayo (a restricted free agent). Should they dump Gay's contract to a young team with cap space (Toronto, Cleveland, Portland, New Orleans, etc.) for a 2012 lottery pick? Could they flip him to Minnesota for Derrick Williams? What if they flipped him for Tyreke Evans (who makes one-third as much money)? Am I overrating his value? Should they keep him and let Mayo leave? And how much easier would this decision be had the Grizzlies picked James Harden instead of Hasheem Thabeet? That reminds me …
                      He makes some mildly valid points about how low his stock is. Would you throw the pick at Memphis for Gay?

                          I would in a heartbeat. But I wouldn't complain if we were still left with PJ3

                          • KEEP!!! there no one worth trading for

                            • If we drop to 8th or lower, I would be open to trading our pick for Gay, as long as we get Memphis' pick (in the low-mid 20's, and take a chance on someone like Tony Wroten Jr.).

                              Comment


                              • Our team is based on pure potential. We don't have enough talent. Gay is a proven talent and that is what we need. I am all for trading the pick for him.

                                To me, there are no variables here. I don't care if someone has a "chance" to be better. What are we a bunch of compulsive gamblers?
