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.
What position do you think Bargnani and DeRozan have been playing?
Gay and DeRozan mean two guys who aren't especially good shooters. I'd rather keep Ross, especially considering the contracts. And I'd rather keep Davis. I don't see why Memphis is taking him, unless he's the backup C. He's a legit starter and an excellent backup. He'd probably go to the third team.
The Raptors can win this, in a landslide...what Memphis is doing is atrocious. At least ask for Ross and play him at the 3 and get a guy who doesn't need the ball and is an elite shooter...plus he's athletic and can play defense. Hell, play Bargnani at the 3 for lol's. Maybe he'd do well. But for this to be worth it for them, they better focus on Lowry (I guess they will, with Calderon being traded) and RUNNING. They have to amnesty Bargnani. He and Gay are a bad mix. And they should send DeRozan out...unless they get another shooter in the starting lineup. The ball has GOT to be in Lowry's hands. Let him RUN.

Re: Marc Stein: Rudy Gay to Raptors deal IN PLACE.
Lol so the Raptors trade a promising big man in Ed Davis and keep Bargani? I'm convinced he's the illegitimate son of Bryan Colangelo there's no other explanation.
OKC was like hitting the lottery. Everything went absolutely right. They got really high picks and struck gold miracously each time. How often does that happen?
Not saying getting draft picks is bad, but you have a chance to get a very good young talent in Gay, why not do it? What do they need cap space for? For who? Who's going there?
Your favorite Knick of all time, Landry Fields.
and they get dibs on any Euro that hits free agency. I hear Vesely has already packed his bags.
Detroit must be doing this to clear some cap space since Calderon is off the books next year. Team already has Knight, Will Bynum and Stuckey. His mins gonna be short. Would love to see him and Knight on the floor together though.
