    I wonder what 3 wings they were talking about?

    My guess is Gay, Iguodala and Chandler.

            And the fact that Lowry reached and immediately and said "we can do big things" in Toronto. Overall it's tough not to be excited about the acquisition and to like him... very genuine kinda guy.

                        can't get the stream to work, my broadband ain't fast enough. can anyone do a quick write-up of key points that were said, what was discussed? how's the guy's character in general? twitter seems to be raving about him.

                        and can we please change this to everything rudy? hahaha

                            As sad as I am to see Jose go, I'm excited. Rudy has always been one of my favorite players, if not favorite non-Raptor. Sophomore year of college we had a full sized Rudy Gay poster in our common room area haha. And I'm a huge Cuse fan, hate UConn.

                              He seemed like a very genuine, funny, likable guy.

                              Not necessarily in order, but just points that stood out for me:

                              When asked about being a franchise player, he indicated that he felt he was and could become that, agreeing that there was another level he could achieve. He also said that he came here to build a winner, not just to score points; some nights he'd score, some nights he'd assist, some nights he'd rebound. Whatever it takes to help team win.

                              When asked about leadership, he said it was a team game and the most important thing about leadership was knowing and understanding that it was a team game. He said a good leader needed to get on teammates, but also be able to take constructive criticism.

                              He admitted that as much as he tried not to let it, all the negative attention and trade rumors of the past year did affect him. He is excited to be in Toronto and happy to feel wanted. He said that Lowry is like a brother to him and that Lowry called him immediately after the trade and they talked about "doing big things in Toronto together".

                              He pointed out that when he came into the league 6.5 years ago, Memphis was a crap team. He said he went through losing, went through the building process and has discovered what it's like to win and HOW TO WIN. He said having been through all that made him a better player and a better person. He said bringing all that to the table, especially instilling a sense of how to win, is one of the big things he can bring to the Raptors right away.
