    Going online now: ESPN sources say Grizzlies and Raps have deal in place to swap Rudy Gay and Hamed Haddadi for Ed Davis and Jose

    Marc Stein ‏@ESPNSteinLine
    Third team not yet in stone but Pistons have had interest in Calderon all season & have two SFs to help MEM fill Gay void: Prince & Maggette

    Just had to quote this, as this sums up my opinion of our star fairly well. With that said I would much rather have LMA than Rudy Gay.

    Btw, Ed Davis is seriously underrated.

    MEM will have the best (or close to) big rotation with Gasol/Randolph/Davis.

    Ya, Davis is a monster. I like this for Memphis in the playoffs

    Funny you shold mention.

    We, of course, had the #4 pick in that draft.

    I wanted us to draft LaMarcus Aldridge (my #1). I was sure he would not be on the board at #4 and I didn't know if the team could move up (or if they even wanted to). Thanks to big mistakes by Toronto (Barganini) and Chicago (Thomas), LaMarcus could be had.

    My backup choice for the #4 pick if LaMarcus was not available - Rudy Gay.

    Austin Daye still has some promise. Pistons will have a lot of money available this year I take it?

    Taking Tayshaun Prince back makes this trade a little less lopsided for the Grizz. He's making another 14 million over two years and putting up a 13 PER.

    One thing Prince has is playoff experience; something I think the Griz would love to have. Another great thing about Prince is he is a facilitator instead of a chucker like Gay. Prince would do wonders for Memphis actually.

    Only if a change of scenery rejuvenates his game. He's nothing like the player that won a championship anymore.

    I think this change would revamp him. It's really hard when you have been soooo used to winning for so long, then go into draft lotto hell for most your prime years. You finally just give up. If he finds out that he is moved to a playoff team that is mainly a defensive minded team; that's a perfect situation for him.

    I really like this trade for Memphis, they came out smelling like a rose. Detroit also did a nice job of shedding some money and finally getting a guard who can make Drummond and Monroe better. Toronto? Jesus, Bryan Colangelo is really bad at building a roster.

    Man it must really suck to be gay right now. You went from being on a contending up and coming team; to probably the worst managed franchise in the east.

    A deal for the Memphis Grizzlies to send Rudy Gay to the Toronto Raptors has been agreed upon, according to sources.

    The Raptors will send out Jose Calderon and Ed Davis for Gay and Hamed Haddadi.

    The Pistons will acquire Calderon, with the Grizzlies receiving Tayshaun Prince and Austin Daye.

    The Grizzlies will also receive a second round pick from the Raptors.

    Toronto is likely to waive Haddadi following a buyout, reports Ken Berger of CBS Sports.

    The Grizzlies will save $5.8 million this season and $26.4 million over three season before factoring in potential luxury tax ramifications.
