    My pants just got tighter.

    I doubt this is real. We get rid of our three biggest contracts for the best player in the trade.

    yeah, why would the Grizz want to ship out significant pieces of their team after having the most success they've every had for three backups.

    Randolph & Gasol are going to get paid this summer. The Grizz aren't looking to have three huge contracts on the books heading towards a possible hard cap, I reckon. Don't put much stock in this rumour.

    Why would Memphis seriously do this? It's one thing getting rid of Mayo, but Gay, as well?

    They made it into the 2nd round of the playoffs upsetting the #1 seed without Rudy Gay. Also Paul George is a stud and can do a lot of similar things to Rudy Gay, but costs a fraction of the price.

    However, OJ Mayo was a pretty key player of the bench for them. I doubt they would want to lose him

    Bargnani is a 7foot Mayo essentially.

    That is a helluva trade for TOR.

    I've gotta agree with Shapecity here though on George. This guy is definitely a stud. I think with the firepower that MEM gets back in the trade with Andrea and George, I think that more than enough covers for Mayo, and also allows them to continue with their defensive-minded lineup they played a majority of the time in the playoffs.
