I would trade DeRozan to get Gay but I'd want #25 in return and the trade/free agent search immediately turns to SGs.
DD, Davis, #8 --> for Gay, #25
Lots of options from there!

Gay would be a great fit on this team. I agree Gay and Bargnani would be the go to guys on offence with Jonas and DeMar (if he is not included in the trade) chipping in. We would be a playoff team if this move can get done.
I doubt it will happen though.Last edited by saints91; Wed Jun 6, 2012, 10:16 PM.

Here is my crazy plan, if I'm BC
1) DD, JJ, Calderon, #8 (3-way trade) for Gay, #25
2) offer #25 to a team to take Amir
3) make $8-10M offer to Batum
4) sign Nash to 3/$30M contract
5) use TPE to get Ariza and #10 from NO (per the rumor)
6) draft PG (Lillard or Marshall) or SG (Lamb) at #10
7) use MLE to sign whichever position isn't got at 6)
8) use Vet min to re-sign Gray
9) re-sign Uzoh to min contract
LINEUP
C: Valanciunas, Gray
PF: Bargnani, Davis, Kleiza
SF: Gay, Ariza, Kleiza
SG: Batum, ???, Forbes
PG: Nash, ???, Uzoh

How bout this:
Calderon + Kleiza + 2nd rounder from indiana + 8th pick for Rudy gay
They get a good pass first veteran backup PG and they get a backup SF would can also hit the three ball. With the 8th pick they can grab someone to be a part of their core.
Then we resign Bayless, sign nash and draft the machado kid. Our team looks like this:
Nash/Bayless/Machado
DeMar/Forbes
Gay/JJ
Bargnani/Amir/Ed
JV/Gray/MagloireLast edited by NoPropsneeded; Wed Jun 6, 2012, 10:58 PM.

I don't think Memphis is as high on Mayo as everyone thinks, either. What with all his "I want to start" and "I want to play PG" comments.@sweatpantsjer

If we can keep Derozan when trading for Gay (JJ/Kleiza & #8 and Jose) then I would look at (Houston loses out on PGasol who they wanted for a long time) trading Bargnani to Houston for KLowry. I would really prefer to keep JJ as well(Gay-JJ would be an awesome rotation at SF IMO and options for small ball too). It is unlikely if keeping Derozan though.
PG: KLowry, SMachado , Uzoh?
SG: DD, Jenkins/DLamb, GForbes
SF: RGay, Kleiza/JJ, AAnderson
PF: Amir, ED
C: JVal, AGray, Alabi/Magloire
We would then also have the TPE, the mid level to go with.

If we would have to give up Derozan, and JJ in the trade for Gay we would conceivably get back the 25 and keep Jose. Bargnani still out the door and feed on the NOLA report that they give up their #10 for someone taking Ariza or Okafors contract then an expensive but experienced backup SF (using the Barbosa TPE) with Ariza and the pick to allow us TRoss, JLamb etc.
PG: KLowry, JCalderon, SMachado
SG: TRoss, GForbes
SF: RGay, TAriza, LKleiza
PF: Amir, ED, Kleiza
C: JVal, AGray, SAlabi/Magloire
With JCalderon as an expiring trade chip.

Demar + Pick + cap relief is WAY TO MUCH for someone who's earning franchise player $$$'s w/o franchise player production. let's remember, Memphis is the one shopping Gay for financial relief, so why bail them out by giving them multiple assets along with cap relief? the most I offer is Demar or ed or pick + Kleiza + Jose....
