Ross is a better fit with Gay. Fields is a great defensive/glue guy. DeRozan is the odd man out. Anderson should also be traded, considering he's a 30+ veteran on an expiring deal. Pietrus will walk after the season.
The Raps could either bring back a 4th wing in trade, free agency or via the draft (if they keep their pick).
A primary wing rotation of Gay, Ross & Fields has good balance to it.

10 million isn't a huge price tag in NBA these days if you haven't noticed. Though I would like to see how Derozan plays with Gay on the floor first. You cannot just totally flip over the chemistry, roster and culture in the team like that, in the middle of the season.
If the cap goes up by $5M as most people predict then DeMar's $9.5M salary is actually not going to be too difficult to trade. He still has a tonne of potential and SG's are in short supply in the league.

But Bryan is the GM. I actually don't think he wants to move DeMar - otherwise what was the point in giving him the extension so early?
the team dynamics have changed. rudy gay brings all the same skills derozan posseses and is an overall better player. No one has any clue why he gave derozan an extension that early, baffling move....

the reason you do a contract like that is to lock up an asset. they didn't want to risk not extending him and then him going off bananas and garnering max level interest somewhere (not likely but not impossible). So you sign him what appears to be a little bit high, hope he plays up to or near enough that other teams are interested and you put him to market. If he plays beyond his 9.5 you keep him as a guy that is worth more than his deal. If he plays under or near it, you ship him out for another asset/picks/multiple rotation players or as part of a deal to bring in a near all star. Ten million is a very flexible deal for 20 out of 30 of the leagues teams. The other ten might like the idea of shedding an allstar for two contributers that fit...(Lakers) cough Gasol.

Agree, kinda, but the contract the gave Demar was ridiculous.
