Rudy Gay's about to show the world he's on Durant's level

He is what he is. An relatively inefficient high volume scorer that plays mediocre defense and is not a particularly good playmaker. He is an above average SF and nothing more.
Greatly overpaid.

 

For real, he couldn't even beat Lebron in the Finals. Rudy is clearly superior to him.

 

I don't know if anyone's still taking this thread seriously, but LOL.

11 points on 3-17 shooting.

I know PER isn't everything, but Gay's PER is barely above replacement level (15.76), while KD's is 28.22. Other than that, Gay's definitely on Durant's level!

Who knows, maybe the OP was referring to their World of Warcraft characters and not their basketball talent. Not sure.

 

TIME TO TRADE FOR RUDY GAY. (KD)

Houston Rockets

Houston has about $7 million in cap space, though pinning down the precise number is tough after so many trades, waivers, and cuts. Houston could chase a power forward such as Smith with max-level cap room this summer, but if they’re worried their iPad campaigns will come up short again, they could use their current flexibility to snag a borderline All-Star in his prime. (And to be clear: I’m betting that “borderline All-Star” is just about Gay’s ceiling.)

A four-man package of Carlos Delfino-Toney Douglas-Patrick Patterson-Marcus Morris is right on the edge of passing cap muster (depending on Houston’s precise level of cap space to the dollar), but it would also eviscerate Houston’s power-forward rotation. That package gives Memphis some shooting, an extra power forward, and a backup point guard, though the Grizz might also request a first-rounder.

Houston could adjust by adding Cole Aldrich’s larger salary or substituting Terrence Jones for one of Morris/Patterson, though the latter course would then require some extra cap gymnastics.

The Rockets have a nice, young small forward in Chandler Parsons on a crazy cheap contract, but never count them out.

 

Thank god Morey is not stupid enough to make such a trade.

 

Sad ironic twist to this thread, isn't it?

 

I read the whole article - and I'm not sure ANY of those teams would want Gay at his price tag.

But I'm sure somebody around here is still whining about the Battier/Gay trade.

 

The only level Gay is on Durant's is his salary.

 

Lol @ the op and this thread

 

Quit being an attention w**** dude, you complain that this thread is infamous then you bump it yourself.

 

Tony Allen makes the grizz kind of awesome. Kind of.

 

You mean when? Just look at the team salaries; it is only a matter of time.

 

Tony Allen taking over. UFA

 

Tony Parker!!!

 

Tony Parker is kind of sick. RG's defense on that play... not so much.

 

Holy!

 

Gay bricked those key free throws, if they lose this in over time, it's on him.

 

Oh snap! Lol. what a game.
