Don't expect to get assets back in a trade for players that constantly get bashed.

Then tell me who has use for a useless 17Mil SF.

I don't even know what this is supposed to mean. Is the answer the Raptors?

Now for all those throwing "hate" at me about DeRozan, this is an example of hate.


Rudy is not ideal for Toronto.
He is far from useless.

I want to know which team(s) you think have a use for a useless SF making 17Mil. It's like trying to find a taker for Mark Madsen or Rafael Araujo if they were making that much.

I really don't think you are making much sense. You complain that the negative chatter on here will bring down the value of our players, then somehow devolve into trade scenarios involving Rafael Araujo at $17M?

That's what everyone else seems to think about him on here, that he is that useless.

Been trolling all day. I think we can agree that Rudy Gay is a little better than Araujo

He's more of a really bad fit on our team (we've always known this)

That's why he has zero value.

Masai calls up random GM

Masai: Hello, I would like to offer you Rudy Gay, what would you like to offer?

Random GM: I can't offer you much you know

Masai: Why not?

Random GM: He can't be that valuable to you if he doesn't fit with you, so why should we give up something of value for him?

Analysis in a vacuum.

With that logic how does any trade happen?

Because we know he brings more value than that to you, and the other team down the road are offering closer to what they believe is his true value.

This is how markets are set.

then they'll lowball and try to steal.

[stooley]

Then we don't make the trade unless they come up. If they truly do value Rudy at that "higher" value, whatever that may be, they will. Have you ever negotiated anything before? This is bartering 101.
