- Toronto would finally have a legit starting SF who could be the #1 scoring option
- still have Ross & Fields at SG
- still have Davis & Bargnani at PF
- still have Lowry starting at PG
- I would even try to sign Calderon back in the offseason (essentially becomes DeRozan & Amir for Gay)

I think an important question to ask is this year just an off year for Gay? Is it the new norm?
I can't help but look at Demar's career to date vs Gay's career to date and see that - Demar is playing around his usual. Gay is underperforming from his usual.
I don't think Gay is worth his contract (and think trading for him is the wrong approach for this team), but I'm not sure a complete comparison between Demar and Gay can yet be made. (I also believe his defense blows Demar out of the water)
Just like positive outliers take place (say 13 games to start a season or something ) so can negative outliers.

Jon Leuer barely played despite a depleted front court.
I believe Marreese Speights to be the key piece from the Cavaliers' perspective. He will likely be the third big for the remainder of the season - he is better than Kevin Jones - and, if he plays well, we might be able to flip him for a second round pick or be able to afford trading Andy in the offseason if the right offer comes along.
It is doubtful Wayne Ellington will see much court action considering Boobie is better and rarely plays anyway.
Josh Shelby has yet to show he belongs in the NBA but may get an extended look as our (D-League) backup point guards have all sucked big time since Ramon Sessions was traded to the Lakers. I expect him to fail but we're not risking anything by giving him a chance to show his stuff.
Second round picks I don't particularly care for except as trade fillers.
It's only a minor trade but we're getting the "best" player (Speights), a 2nd round pick, and a young PG who may be more talented than the crap we have as backups.

Sucks as a raptor fan. Seems like this was Memphis' big move. I hate the cavs too so that's just salt in the wound.

raps could not have done trade. no cap space. but if they did have space, worth it I think.
still hoping to take other teams shit for prospects and picks.... sadly it seems raps shir might stink just as much.

There is the link.
Arthur is interesting.
