Pistons offered Toronto 2 expiring contracts for Rudy Gay and there has been no indication it was turned down as of yet.  I think with the change of regime in Toronto, that they are looking to start rebuilding and could look to "tank" as has been reported recently that there could potentially be up to 6-7 teams that actually try to be one of the worst 4-5 teams in the league.  Toronto is dreaming of a scenario where projected #1 overall pick Andrew Wiggins ends up in their lap and stays in his homeland of Canada.

 

I think the Bobcats should look to package Ben Gordon and something else to Toronto to sweeten the offer the Raptors have already made.  I think we would be playing for a 4, 5, or 6 seed in the eastern conference and still have a young core of talent if we added Rudy Gay and Al Jefferson this offseason.

 

*EDIT: 8:45am - Toronto turned down Detroit offer... its a pipe dream

Toronto has declined it saying they wont trade Rudy for nothing....

 

I dont want Rudy Gay anyway. He is very lazy and just doesnt care about the team or anything involved. I had a friend that played with him at Memphis and he told me they were trying to get rid of him and he was always criticized by the coach, other players, and management. He said Gay would regularly skip practices and even pre-game shoot around. This is not the guy you want to build a team around.

Griz fan here. Rudy Gay is overrated, probably one of the more overrated players in the league. The team was made significantly better by trading him, because he demanded the ball and had a poor fg percentage. He has a very low basketball IQ.

      Round 1: The Carolina Panthers select OT Monroe Freeling (Georgia)

      I wonder if they'd consider trading Rasheed Walker to a team that needs tackle help but missed out in the draft?

      LOL. This is such a Panthers fan take.  Anyone who falls to us must suck because some other team didn't take them before.  We got lucky with Lemon, Thieneman, and Freeling all falling to us (honestly any of the three is a A+) but the WR and S positions are much deeper than the LT position in this draft.  We got the LT w/ the most upside at 19.  Mauigoa played RT in college and some think he is a guard in the nfl.  Spano played RT in college and some think he is a guard in the NFL due to short arms.  Blake Miller played RT in college and is not as good as Freeling.  Proctor is a true LT but his ability to handle quick edge's worries me (see Icky).  Freeling is a true LT and a gifted pass protector.  Many think he has a very high ceiling and will benefit from not having to start right away.  This is how you build a franchise.

      After watching Cam get killed for years behind a bad Oline and having to watch the 2021 and 2023 Olines I will never complain about this team putting resources into that spot.  We got a true LT who could really push Rasheed Walker for the day 1 job. Go back and watch Iceky's draft profile from 2022 and all the talk was Ickey would be an all-pro guard in a zone blocking scheme, but he could play LT in a gap power run scheme. That's why Ickey looked really good when Wilks took over and we just started running gap run plays and just mauled people up front but under Canales we've been more of a zone running team. Ickey can survive at LT with his pass blocking but his true strength will always be his ability to just move guys in the run game and that's a skill set that's better used at guard.  Take another OT later on day 3 to learn from Moton to take over RT in a couple of years and let Walker and Freeling battle it out for the day 1 LT job then next offseason trade one of Hunt of Lewis and let Ickey move inside to guard.
