Probably the Rockets. Morey will get 17 different assets in the process.

yes i apoligize. you're right.
[QUOTE=Real Men Wear Green]Seems like a cheap price to pay for a good scorer and athlete.[/QUOTE]
Look at his contract and get back to us.
What a stupid-ass trade.
People saying Derozan is a goner aren't remembering that he came into this league as a SG and will be fine there. Calderon+Derozan+Gay will be a SICK trio of wing players IMO. Davis is a nice young player but they seem to be clearing the way for Valuncunias. Bargs should be moved to PF again IMO since he can't rebound worth a shit.
Raptors win this trade in a landslide. Davis won't get hardly any playing time behind Zbo and Gasol anyways to make an impact.
Grizzlies get absolutely a.ss ****ed in this deal :oldlol: :oldlol: :oldlol:
Calderon to Memphis? Really thats what they are gonna get for gay? lol

I dislike the new ownership alot.
Oh okay, having Tayshaun instead works.
Grizzlies are trading for backups basically. Davis and Calderon both have better players in front of them in Memphis :facepalm . Not sure what the hell they are doing.

Calderon is a point guard, not a wing player, and he's one of the players who's going to be moved. Bargnani has been playing PF all season.
Davis will get all of Speights' minutes and is a better player with more upside. The Grizzlies save a ton of money, get a good young big man, and will probably get some decent bench pieces for Calderon.
Great trade for the Raps. Gay/DeRozan will be a terror in transition and Ross will be able to continue to develop off the bench.

Because the NBA isn't just about playing basketball there is a business end to it as well
MEMPHIS gets: Ed Davis, Tayshaun Prince, Austin Daye, 2nd rounder (from Toronto)
TORONTO gets: Rudy Gay, Hamed Haddadi
DETROIT gets: Jose Calderon

[QUOTE]The Memphis Grizzlies and Toronto Raptors have agreed in principle on a trade that will send leading scorer Rudy Gay to the Raptors, according to sources with knowledge of the deal.
Sources told ESPN.com that the Grizzlies will acquire forward Ed Davis and veteran guard Jose Calderon from the Raptors and then move Calderon on to a third team to ultimately make this a three-team deal.
The Detroit Pistons, sources said, are one of the prime options to take on Calderon, having pursued the Spanish floor leader all season.
The Grizzlies want a small forward out of the trade and Detroit has two believed to be available: Tayshaun Prince and Corey Maggette. But Memphis, sources said, is talking to at least one other team about taking on Calderon and is expected to receive a second-round pick from Toronto as part of the deal.
The Raptors, sources said, are expected to take on Grizzlies reserve center Hamed Haddadi in addition to Gay.
The Dallas Mavericks are the other most likely landing spot for Calderon, but sources said Dallas is resistant to parting with Vince Carter, Memphis' prime target on the Mavs' roster.

Goes on to say that Jose Calderon will go to a third team. Detroit is the most likely team with Tayshaun Prince or Corey Maggette coming back to Memphis.
Also says that another prime landing spot for Calderon could be Dallas, but Memphis wants Vince Carter while Dallas doesn't want to part with him.
Some more...
[QUOTE]ESPN sources say Dallas is other prime landing spot for Calderon, but I'm told Mavs reluctant to part with SF that Grizz want: Vince Carter[/QUOTE]
Prince finally leaving Detroit and going to a good team would be long overdue
