ESPN says Raps are shopping their pick for either Rudy Gay or Iggy. I bet 6 or 11 + pieces could hold similar value. We need to get in on this and the Okafor + 10 salary dump. http://espn.go.com/blog/truehoop/post/_/id/44989/sources-raptors-shopping-pick-for-forward
I got blasted for this yesterday, but Rudy Gay is the type of up and comer we should go after. Does he have flaws? Yes. Does he have too high of salary? Yes. But he is a baller and have a nice PER of 18. Him, LA, Batum and whatever PG we could sign would make a very nice core to build upon
I'd take Iggy over Gay. Similar impact overall (not scoring, but better D, better playmaking), and a lower salary commitment.
disagree with U here MM, Gay's huge salary is way to high in this new CBA for what he delivers. for what he makes he should be a #1 option, and he is clearly not close to that, he's more like a 3rd option
They are very similar http://www.basketball-reference.com...sum=0&p1=iguodan01&y1=2012&p2=gayru01&y2=2012 Biggest difference for me is 25 vs 28. Gay is still on his way up, while Iggy is plateauing and starting to fall off of his game. I understand the salary issues though
Meh. Can't really look at Iggy's stats to measure his impact. That's what fans in Philly do and they hate him because he can't put up 20 every night. And he was an all star for the first time this year. He's certainly not coming down.
Alright here it is. Take on Iggy's contract in a salary dump. 11 + Shawne Williams + Freeland/Claver for Iggy + 15. Take on Okafor's contract in a salary dump. Wessy for Okafor + 10. (These would both have to be handshake deals that will be completed after FA starts). Then package 6 + 15 to CHA for 2. Take TRob. Then take Lillard with 10. Then match Nic/JJ's offers. Then we're left with: Lillard/Nolan Iggy/EWill Nic/Babbitt LA/TRob Okafor/Hickson PG would probably be a concern, but that is a sick roster.
From the combine: Jay Williams @RealJayWilliams A lot of the PGs are having a difficult time stopping people defensively in the Isolation drills. Tyshawn Taylor excelled though.
Jonathan Givony @DraftExpress Just landed in Chicago. How's the beauty contest Combine going? Who looked the sexiest dribbling through the cones?
Jay Williams @RealJayWilliams Tony Wroten has top 10 talent but the hindrance is that he shot 18% from 3pt line & 58% from the FT Line. #GoUnder all screen & rolls.
Chad Ford @chadfordinsider SG's NOT doing #NBACombine drills : Bradley Beal, Dion Waiters, Jeremy Lamb, Austin Rivers They should all be forced to do them
This bugs me so much: Chad Ford @chadfordinsider SG's NOT doing #NBACombine drills : Bradley Beal, Dion Waiters, Jeremy Lamb, Austin Rivers
Yeah, Ross in the on SG in their top 5 participating. Oh, and Wroten was horrible (as expected) shooting the 3. They kept cutting away, but I'm not sure I saw him hit 1 shot.
