Gay to Kings Rumor

[Who]

With vasquez going to tor. Is lowry going next

Vasquez and Lowry could work well together. Two very different PGs. Lowry with his speed and athleticism + hard nosed defense and scoring while Vasquez brings more size and muscle with playmaking ability. Lowry was able to function well alongside PGs offensively in the past and I believe Vasquez has had some success with Isiah Thomas in Sacramento.

I think that is a combination that could work well. With DeRozan in a three man backcourt. Or perhaps with DeRozan sliding over to SF to replace Gay and start both Lowry/Vasquez in the same backcourt. Get more minutes for Terrence Ross off the bench. Or Kyle Lowry as sixth man combo guard playing 26-28mpg with Vasquez-Ross-DeRozan starting. A couple of different combinations which could work if they choose to keep both PGs.

Don't know what Toronto are thinking again..NBA needs to get rid of that team..Already have a starting PG in Lowry..why they need Vasquez

Raptors are thinking ping pong balls.

they think that every year!

[Who]

Hopefully Valanciunas will get more touches now. Disappointed that Jonas hasn't been featured more in the offense after Coach D-Casey said he would be.

But they have a GM now who knows what he's doing.  Rudy Gay is basically a Jeff Green.  He's not a real star... just scores.  But he's actually really inefficient this year.  If anything he's just preventing the Raptors from full-blown bottoming out.  Simmons and Jalen Rose predicted this last week... they'd dump Gay so they could fully embrace the tank job.  7 franchise players coming up in this draft.


I barely care about either of these teams.  Which players stand to gain the most from a fantasy basketball perspective?  Any sleepers I should pay attention to?  Terrence Ross?

[Birdman]

who are the 7 "francise" players?

[BleedGreen1989]

Well, add Toronto to the list of teams that will be worse than Boston.

Utah, Phoenix, Toronto, Sacramento, missing anybody?

Obviously the Knicks.

So now the Kings should go all-in and trade for Rondo.

Rondo and Wallace for Thornton, Derrick Williams, Thomas, Fredette and multiple unprotected 1sts.   We dump Wallace's bad contract, gain a couple assets... Kings can ride dirty with PG Rondo, SG - Mclemore, SF - Gay, PF - Thompson, C - Cousins

Ujiri is likely going to trade Lowry as soon as he finds a good deal.

Danny really ought to be able to do better than that for Rondo once he's healthy.

Man, I would be pretty bummed with a Rondo trade to Sacramento. I guess Thomas is having a solid year (18/5) on decent percentages. McLemore is supposed to be decent. Williams, Fredette, etc are okay, I guess...they are terrible right now. I get the Gay trade, but not sure they have any top tier prospects to trade for a perennial all-star like Rondo.

The Celtics seem to be in a much better position than the Kings in terms of contending in the near future - more prospects, picks, and at least as much 'star' power. I don't get it at all from our perspective.

[JSD]

I would say from a fantasy perspective, that Terence Ross and Derrick Williams benefit the most from this trade today.

Nice deal for the Raptors.  Can't have Gay and DeRozan taking 30 shots a game each.

Rudy Gay has been so bad they might improve off this trade. Just chucking this year while doing little else.
