Gay to debut for Raptors on Sunday [Post #727]

[BadDinosaur]

I already finished an NBA 2k13 game of Raps vs Heat with GAY in the lineup. Hall of Fame. Won by 20...

You guys should really make a huge welcoming when Jose plays his first game with Detrout at ACC, I would be upset with these fans if they wouldnt.

[Balls of Steel]

I guess they have to prepare for these 3 big games huh? Rudy will be playing by then.

[planetmars]

I'm sure everyone loved Jose.. he's been a pillar for a long time. Going to be rough on the team to see him gone.

Trade call with league office on three-way deal that sends Rudy Gay to Toronto begins at 7 pm EST.

Dont worry, there definitely will be something nice. Even the casual fans love Jose.

I'm literally dropping a tear right now. Ed and Jose were two of the team's hardest workers, great character guys, pros. I truly respected these two.

I will miss having these guys on the team, especially cause they were a key part of this team's chemistry and success.

Much sadness in #raptors locker room as Calderon, Davis say goodbye

Well Gay has never been the best player on a winning team....so why is he better (Gasol and Randolph are their best players)

It's about the system.

Look at how well OJ Mayo is playing now for the Mavs. Same will happen to Gay now that he's the #1 guy here.

Yeah but our team sucked, so who cares.

DD, Gay and Ross = sick dunks every night

I'm going to miss Jose. Most underappreciated Rap of all time. And imo the greatest Rap PG of all time.

I am not worried about trading ED.

Guy kept UNC on his background for Twitter. Never wanted to be a Rap.

There.... I said it. I've bottled the twitter thing for years. RELEASE. Nice. I feel free.

Check it out now lol

If this deal is for real, which I do believe it is, then first and foremost, I'm going to miss "The Spanish Fly", as Chuck used to call him. But we needed to give this team to Lowry. He's far too talented and, I say this in a good way, egotistical.
His Balls are WAY too huge to be a bench player.

Second, I've heard it said a few times that Ed "never really wanted to be here" or whatever .. I remember thinking this myself a little while back, not going to lie. But I've warmed up to his quiet, reserved personality. The quiet guys are always the craziest. And Amir has playing UNREAL the last little while. Giving him some more minutes can't be a bad thing.

Third, I never really supported going after Gay, but now its 'a done deal' the Raptors fan in me has made me change my stance.. but now I expect another move to be made before the trade deadline.

I'm a little verclempt...this is the first trade to hit me on an emotional level in a LONG time

I am most shocked that MEM is taking on the 2 years of Prince at $7+M per.

I'm not. He can defend and is at least average on 3pt shooting. Memphis had some trouble with spacing. Considering their 2 man post game Gay had some superfluos skills while not bringing some of the things Prince will. This deal might make them even more dangerous in the play-offs. Great fit imo.
