Griz sending Gay/Haddadi to Raptors for Ed Davis/2013 2nd round pick. Raps sending Jose Calderon to Detroit or Dallas for Prince or Carter

So Stuckey suddenly becomes available?

indeed, what becomes of stuckey now? Or does Calderon play hybrid SG?

I like it for the Raptors.  Rudy Gay was turning the corner in the '10-'11 season before he hurt his shoulder.  After that, Z-Bo emerged and the Grizzlies made their run without him, and that was kind of the end of Gay's role in Memphis.  Just wasn't a good fit in their new inside-out gameplan. 

I could see Toronto as a good opportunity for a fresh start for Gay.  Wouldn't be surprised to see him do very well there.

It will be interesting to see what this means for Brandon Knight in Detroit.

PG - Lowry,
SG - DeRozan, Ross
SF - Gay, Fields
PF - Bargnani, Amir Johnson
C  - Valanciounas, Gray

That is a pretty nice team. If DeRozan (or Ross) and Jonas continue to grow and become top ten players at their respective positions, in addition to Lowry (top ten PG) and Gay (top five SF), that is a squad that could make a lot of noise 2-3 years down the line.

I love Tayshaun Prince. I think he will be excellent for Memphis. One of the best options Memphis could've gotten when looking to trade Rudy Gay.

Prince is on a very good contract too. Only around $6-7 million per year.

Another example of a small market team putting money ahead of winning.

Memphis could have done worse.  Prince is a nice affordable stand-in at the 3.  Ed Davis is a nice player too.

  • Everyone's excited for the new era.
Really happy for Tayshaun Prince.  He can spend the final years of his career on a contender.

Don't like Calderon on the Pistons, though.  They already have Knight, Bynum, and Stuckey.

Ed Davis and Darrel Arthur are great, athletic backups to the Gasol-ZBo frontline.  I like it for Memphis.

Prince is a nice fit for Memphis, but is he going to be their starter at the 3 now? The Grizzly players can't be thrilled about that.

I don't really see how the pieces fit with Davis. Memphis created a weakness at the 3 to pile Davis on to an already very good group of bigs.
