Rudy Gay Requests Trade

[Dr. Cheesesteak]

Really? That starting lineup is top 3 lottery bad.

it's better than the playoff Celtics' starting line-ups the past 2 seasons And like starters are only thing to judge? Not bench or coaching, etc... Shouldn't the TWolves GM know it isn't all about starting talent?

2 potential All-D bigs (dont like redundancy? Start Olynyk instead). Potentiall All-D PG. Crowder is Crowder. Afflalo is the only weak link. But then just start Malachi or McLemore and hope one f*cking develops.

Plus, it's a trade for the future anyway, derp.

hmm, so to break it down...

Clev gets - Cousins
OKC gets - Love + Gay (lol)
Sac gets - Westbrook

?? Seems like everyone comes out a winner there, though Cavs probably getting more in return. Maybe if they gave TT to Sac, too...? I don't care for Westbrook since he mentally breaks down in the last 4 mins of games, but if I'd take that over Cousins + Gay all day. I'll adjust it like this:

Clev gets - Cousins + McLemore + McGary
OKC gets - Love + Gay + Labissiere + 2017 1st rnd pick (Clev)
Sac gets - Westbrook + TT

Who says "no"? But Westbrook has to sign extension or I may pull out if I'm Kings...

edit:
who says no on paper? Obviously Cavs will say no since they just won a title and LeBron is in love w/ TT, and now KLove, too...

I like the idea a lot, but no way in hell Cavs give up TT.
Dude will probably retire a Cav.

Maybe love/Shump?

I'd take it, but Kings don't need another SG, unless Shump promises to master the craft of PG...lol.

The Cavs don't have any future picks nor young talent to give the Kings. Love & Shumpert would not be enough to satisfy the Kings GM. The Kings want to rebuild with a younger core of players, meaning young talent and upcoming first round draft picks. The Celtics and the 76ers have the right pieces to offer the Kings in a three way team trade.

You have nobody who can make a basket in that starting lineup.

Rudy Gay is a fcking alpha

D leads to transition! God, Joerger won games w/ half D-Leaguers on his team when Memphis was trying to tank. You don't think he can get the best out of that roster?

well, Toronto started winning since Gay got traded..

Gay's NBA career would've been much different if he woulda stayed in Memphis, and wasn't traded to Toronto. Rudy was on the verge of becoming an Allstar level player, Memphis did him dirty just because he had a couple of off nights.

[MiseryCityTexas]

That front court of Gay,Gasol, and Randolph was underrated as hell.
