Gay, Acy & Gray to SAC for Vasquez, Patterson, Hayes & Salmons (Augustin waived)

[grindhouse]

thats ridiculous. salmons is in his mid 30's, on a decline and has been so after chicago. why the hell would we keep him over ross? makes no sense.

He is either here for Ross to learn as they have the same game. Or could use Ross as a piece I don't think Ross is going to become Kobe.

Even if Rudy were to magically morph into an efficient, allstar calibre player, do they really think they can catch Dallas, Denver and Golden State?

Well not really, they think it can be the long term answer (Cousins n' Gay)

"The priority in Toronto is clearly finishing as high as possible in the lottery with Canadian sensation Andrew Wiggins and several other top prospects expected to be available to teams picking at the top of the June draft. Lowry is in the final year of his contact at an affordable $6.2 million and believed to be eminently available because he's not part of Toronto's future plans.

Just read Sac Kings fan forum. They are all jumping from their seats, celebrating and argumenting how it was a no brainer. Boy oh boy, I wish I could show them our Gay/Jose/Ed trade thread.

Tbh, it's not that horrible for them. I mean they got rid of two horrible contracts and got back Gay who could "possibly" make a comeback season with a tougher coach than Casey. As to who wins this trade, we win from what it seems now but that can all change later. Depends on which Gay shows up in Sacramento and whether Gay opts out our not. As much as I don't think he'll forfeit a $19 mill paycheck, does he really want to play in Sacramento where talent rots faster than here in Toronto...

I would like to put it out there that getting John salmons, Ross and him play the same way so Ross could be on the move with lowry

Agreed.

There was so much talk of Rudy being "untradeable", or that we'd need to take on an equally "toxic" contract.

Masai is well on his way to wiping the slate clean.

Both the AB and gay trades are beyond what any of us could have realistically hoped for. The man is slick.

Masai Ujiri is brilliant. Unloads Gay's contract and only has to give up Gray and Acy. Brilliant!! AND he didn't have to take Jimmer, that some seem to think is an asset. Vasquez is a MUCH BETTER haul than him.

Where's that guy who's been saying MU is overrated?

I was not sure that it was even possible to trade Gay, so yes I am very happy with the trade. And with this trade completed, we are in full rebuilding mode. Not trilled with the players we received though.

Well beggers can't be choosers...

I highly doubt that Ujiri will be making any moves based on how Salmons fits with this roster.
