REVISG THE RUDY GAY TRA FOR THE RAPTORS: IS WORKG?

The Toronto Raptors were major need of a change directn. The Rudy Gay al was the start of that change and got thgs motn. * toronto rudy gay trade *

Sports earlier reported the Raptors are givg up on Gay ls than a year after tradg for him and are sentially offloadg his ntract, which has another year and $20 ln on , for three players who will be ee agents after this Kgs get a high-volume srer Gay and n pair him wh newly acquired forward Derrick Williams the onturt along wh DeMarc Cos. Gay, who was trad last January by the Memphis Grizzli a siar money dump, is one of the hight-paid players the league. "The tra for Gay was one of the last acts of former Raptors general manager Bryan Colangelo, who rigned last summer.

And then Colangelo's swan song move was acquirg Rudy Gay and the $37 ln owed to him over the next two seasons.

They were bankg on the player that Gay was supposed to bee and not the unrperformg, overpaid wg player he was wh the Memphis Grizzli at the time of the al.

RUDY GAY TRAD TO TORONTO A THREE TEAM AL

Rudy Gay's brief time wh the Toronto Raptors has e to an end. The Raptors nfirmed Monday that the 27-year-old small forward, along wh centre Aaron Gray and forward Qucy Acy, has been trad to the Sacramento Kgs. * toronto rudy gay trade *

At the time of the tra, I wrote that there were plenty of smart reasons for the Raptors to acquire Rudy Gay. The Raptors were much better wh Gay on the roster last season than before they acquired him. Of the players who played at least 1, 000 mut for the Raptors last season, only Amir Johnson had a higher ratg than Gay, and they were the only players on the team (along wh Kyle Lowry) to have a posive ratg.

The Raptors didn't jt play better once they acquired their new small forward; Rudy Gay also played much better by creasg his shootg percentage by 1.

The weren't monster improvements, but showed a ltle b of a new life wh Rudy Gay and his effect on a basketball urt. What we see now Toronto is a team wh a foc-garnerg player on offense Gay -- someone who n grab the attentn of the fense and e his talent as gravy to suck the fenrs his way when he has the ball.

RAPTORS OFFICIALLY TRA RUDY GAY TO KGS

The Memphis Grizzli ntue to field lls om teams terted Rudy Gay and are engaged active tra discsns wh the Toronto Raptors, sourc wh knowledge of the talks told * toronto rudy gay trade *

From there on, they have to fd the fensive balance we saw two years ago and plementary players steppg up to make the fense pay for givg too much attentn to Gay when he has the ball. And maybe Rudy Gay won't even be volved wh the anizatn a year om now if Ujiri n get someone to take his ntract. However, looks like the ial move to brg Gay aboard has turned out to be a good start toward changg the steps of the Toronto Raptors.

The mours of Gay’s possible parture om the Grizzli has been wily moured recent tim; however, wh their recent tra which they sent three squad player along wh a draft pick to the Cavaliers for John Ler, looked they might persist wh the 7th year forward for some time. Wh still two years and more than $37 ln on the books for Gay, the Grizzli cid was time to say adi. The al seems to benef the Grizzli as well, who would add the veteran learship to their roster while also takg away Gay’s efficient 16.

Gay has the look of all-star who isn’t playg anywhere near his prev year and even then wasn’t worthy of a max.
