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.

Darrell Arthur will get speights minutes now that he is healthy.

What will the Grizz lineup look like? They dont got a okei backup SF?

I forgot Calderon was going out for a sec. In that case they WILL likely move either Ross or Derozan for a PG. My point was Toronto actually gets better, Memphis gets two backups. You mentioning them saving a ton of money is exactly where they are making a mistake. Teams like Memphis who are close to perennial contender... decide to blow up their bench and even trade their 2nd best, maybe best all around player to shed cap.

The business side of this decision would kick in after the season. We arent even in Lux Tax so why the heck is this going down??? Dam CF86, I was hoping for a Clippers Grizz rivalry to develop but we may not even see each other again in the playoffs.

They'll use Calderon to get him whether it's Prince, Maggette, VC or someone else.

Not sure about the numbers, but that's a good trade for Toronto.

Raptors are getting Gay.

How many threads do we need? There is already one with 3 pages.

I feel for the Memphis fans here, they have such a great team but the ownership seem intent on mediocrity as long as it doesn't cost them too much in salaries
