Bobcats aggressively pursuing Rudy Gay

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<,,

My question is- WHY?

I have to assume Diop's 7 mil coming off the books has to be dangled out there, along with a young SF to replace Gay (Taylor) and probably throw a 1st rounder in there too.. even then, probably not enough, so Hendo or Sessions.. bleh, please let this not happen

we shuda just got him instead of Morrison in the draft..

I don't understand why Memphis is actively shipping their assets when they are one of the better teams in the West. I know his contract extension was ludicrous, so maybe buyer's remorse and they are looking to unload money as a small market team.

I wouldn't mind Gay, but they better not be pursuing as aggressively as they are making it seem.

Diop, Hendo and Portland's first would be unrealistically satisfying.

Considering gay has been shopped for a few weeks now and this is the first anyone has said that the 'cats are interested...hopefully its Cho just exploring all options. Going after gay fits the bobcats of old rather than the current administration under Cho...I believe its too deep into cho's process to turn back now. The only way I would feel comfortable is if the cats don't give up their first this year (give one of the protected picks like Portland), or kemba and mkg, and the grizzilies offer to pay some of gays contract. They may be willing to do that if they are so desperate for salary relief. Imo

I'd do it. Give them Hendo, Thomas, Diop, Mullens, and Portland's first

edit: actually that is probably too much for a guy that's career average is only 17 ppg but something like that.

edit #2: Okay, I just looked deeper into it and we better not trade for him. Just going off of his money and the fact that he plays MKG's position and that he is having the worst season of his career. I now think for this to happen they would have to throw in more. Like a first round and a good young player.

Memphis is looking to unload Gay in loom of the luxury tax. His contract is horrible! So with financial relief being the main reason to get rid of him, I don't believe they're looking for a WOW package. Still, im not so sure I love an MKG/Gay pairing on the wings, yessss, MKG can guard 2's, but on offense, that would put a huge spotlight on the most limited part of his game, SHOOTING guard.

      Sam Darnold was the 2018 QB. Not Mayfield, Allen, or Jackson. Firing Rhule was the key. Wilks, Darnold, CMC, Rico, TMac, Moore, and Coker would have gotten the job done. Toss in all the extra picks wasted on day one and day 2 project players, and the Panthers have a top defense too.

      That’s if you draft the wrong quarterback. Patriots aren’t having to do that. They are straight in year two.  I suppose you could argue that they did draft the wrong one and then built like you said.  The difference is, if that were the case, they moved on from their mistake. That’s what I am thinking about that.

      Sam Darnold can’t throw the ball past the line of scrimmage.

      Yeah. That start to his career was about as bad as it can get. In New York, Meat grinder press corps, of the first degree,    When he came here he was on OC 3 - in year 3.  And people in this fan base that think they are smart, could not take that stuff into account.  Now, most of the smart ones are not Bryce Stans but Bryce gets 4 damned years free pass. At least 3  The fail of the organization AND fan base in general, fuging shamefully short sighted,  And the choking thing, players have to fail before they succeed. With very few exceptions. Last year was really his first meaningful, high stakes game. Okay, he didn’t play well. They learn from that, or are supposed to. You don’t throw out a guy with all those tools and with his rocky did him no favors background for not being perfect right away.  He might suck in the SB, but he proved a ton this year.    If we’d have had any patience he was the guy to use it on, not Bryce Young.
