By now you’re likely all aware of the Raptors’ renewed interest in Rudy Gay and their reported willingness to include Jose Calderon and Ed Davis in a trade for Gay (in addition to making Kyle Lowry and Andrea Bargnani generally available). You can find my latest thoughts on the reported framework of that deal here, but for now, here are a couple of updates to consider…
While the Raptors were losing to the Warriors on Monday night, ESPN’s Marc Stein reported that according to “sources with knowledge of the talks,” the Raptors and Grizzlies “are engaged in active trade discussions” with regards to Toronto acquiring Rudy Gay.
After playing a competitive first half, the Raptors were shelled in the third quarter and eventually dropped a 21-point decision to the NBA-leading Grizzlies.
Here are some thoughts on the game:
Don't let the smiles fool you. These guys form one hell of a scary froncourt.
The Raptors look to end a five-game losing streak by heading into Memphis to take on the NBA-leading Grizzlies. Well this should be…”fun”
