I think that the upshot of all of this speculation is this: Raptor fans desperately want to see SOMETHING done. I don't know if Gay is the right move for the future, but I'm damn sure that sitting tight with what we've got is only going to lead to several years of frustration and disappointing results. We need to either get good, or get really bad, and soon.

First off, I gotta say, don't get your hopes up. Memphis didn't dump a ton of salary in their earlier deal just to turn around and ship Gay out weeks later. Their fans will riot.
Secondly, I really don't understand the interest in Rudy Gay. Are we forgetting that he's a slightly above average SF? That he coasts on D, doesn't shoot with any kind of consistency, doesn't create for others, and isn't a #1 option even though he's paid like it? Why do people like this guy so much? Literally all he does is use up a lot of possessions with bad iso-ball jumpers. Did you know that right now he and DeMar have about the same percentage of shots taken at the rim vs. jumpers, and that Gay draws fewer fouls? This year his eFG% on those jumpers is .318.
.318!!!!
I get that talent is the problem, but Rudy Gay isn't the answer. In my opinion the Raps would be better off being patient and waiting for a REAL star to become available. Unfortunately Colangelo is the GM, so you can instead expect him to begin selling off the youth for mediocre vets the second he makes a deal for Gay.

I cant believe im saying this, but if the Raps do get Gay, it probably wont be too bad having Bargnani stick around.
Reasons (yes, i can accept if anybody labels then delusional, hehehe)
Bargnani can stretch the defense, allowing Lowry, Gay, Demar, Ross to penetrate, or let JV work inside
Bargnani can provide solid, perimeter and 3-ball shooting, from kickouts from Lowry and Gay
Bargnani had his arguably overall best year with the Raps in 2009-10 when he was NOT the 1st scoring option, when he was interchangeably 2nd or 3rd option behind Bosh and Demar, averaging 17pts, 6rebs, 47%FGA, 37%3PT and 1.4blks.
And you know Lowry aint going to look for him on every possession, much like Calderon did so need not worry about putting up too many shots per game.
Of course, id still prefer him to be traded, but what im saying is incase there are no takers, having Gay (6 rebs) would ease the blow of having to deal with Bargnani on a night to night basis.

I wonder if it could become a multi-team deal with Boston. Memphis could get some young prospects and 1st round pick(s) from Boston, with the Celtics getting a young PG like Lowry and/or Wroten/Bayless.
I also could see Utah getting involved instead of Boston, maybe with Lowry or DeRozan going to the Jazz.
So many possibilities, if Memphis is actually serious about trading Gay to Toronto.
