I wish all of you who are talking about the fit of Calderon would realize that the Pistons are taking him on so they can clear cap space. He's not a long term solution for them and they are not competing this year.
Memphis might have done okay. Daye and Davis are good (and cheap) prospects and Prince is on a great contract.
This was a good trade. Memphis got slightly worse on a talent level but they saved a boat load of cash. Toronto is doing a great job building a young and competitive team for the first time and Detroit is clearing out for younger players while clearing cap space.
Everybody does well here I think.

In the Memphis system, they don't need their SF to do much more than play defense and hit open threes.
For those purposes, Prince is perfect - and costs much, much less than Gay.
Ed Davis is a nice throw-in who could help them off the bench or as an asset in another trade. Overall, I like this deal for Memphis.

Is Ed Davis a bad defender or something?
His numbers per 36 are very good.

He is a good team defender but too skinny as a man-to-man defender. Gets pushed around too easily. A plus team defender but a minus man-to-man defender. His offense is still quite limited too. Weak jumper with limited range. Weak handle. Weak passer. Weak shot-creator. Most of his baskets are the garbage man variety plus some short jumpers. Offensively, skill-level is more like a center than a forward. Ed Davis is still young but he has a long way to go. Needs to add more muscle to help him defensively and put in a lot of work to improve his offense. |

I get the Pistons want the contract, but what does that do to the playing time in Detroit?

I didn't realize that (a) he is now 23, and (b) he is that skinny. I guess his ceiling is lower than I thought. The trade makes more sense now. |

Shows the danger in giving max contracts to guys who don't deserve it. Would bet the Grizz would have liked to have kept Gay, given that they have a strong team, and a shot at going far...generally, Danny has done well in this regard. And no more Pierce for Gay rumors  |

What was Memphis supposed to do? They let him become restricted and as a result the Nets were willing to give him one if Memphis didn't. No different then Indiana and Portland this past season with Roy Hibbert. |

Woah.. tayshaun prince has a way bigger contract than I thought he did. That's bad.
And I don't get it for Toronto. Derozan playing the 2, I guess?

So it's a cap dump for Detroit? Get rid of Prince's three year deal for Calderon's expiring contract?
I wonder who they are planning on making a run at in the off-season. Presumably a wing player. Maybe Iguodala. He seems like a Pistons player.

So, Memphis threw away a possible shot at a deep play-off run and saved money. A housewife style in terms of management.
Now, they don't have "that" guy anymore. They'll collapse at close games at the end.
