Re: 2013-14 Transactions Thread

Bosh was basically what LaMarcus Aldridge is while he was in Toronto.

He's an excellent player still. I think he might have actually improved since coming to Miami in terms of defense. It's just that offensively, he doesn't get as many touches. He's still pretty efficient though.

I wouldn't call Bosh a superstar, but he's definitely one of the better power forwards in the league still. He just doesn't get any recognition because of his limited stats.

Apparently Asik is officially on the trading block and the rockets are looking to move him before Dec 19. Should get interesting soon.

[ehh]

Re: 2013-14 Transactions Thread

They still asking for at least two first-rounders?

i think NOP has to move on asik now with davis out unless they want a 6-12 pick

Trading Anderson for him is just going to be a mistake. If they can find another way to get him though I'm all for it

Raptors and Kings are near agreement on a deal centered on Rudy Gay, league sources tell Yahoo Sports.

Re: 2013-14 Transactions Thread

Kings got a new FO over there, right?

Or is Geoff Petrie still in charge there?

Sacramento will send John Salmons, Vasquez, Patterson and Hayes to the Raptors, sources tell Yahoo Sports.

Re: 2013-14 Transactions Thread

So does this means Derrick Williams to the 4? Also more minutes for Jimmer now right?

[WTF]

Re: 2013-14 Transactions Thread

No, Jimmer will be dealt eventually. I'm hoping that more will come with Rudy. I'd rather see Thornton go

Re: 2013-14 Transactions Thread

Raptors destroyed that trade.

Rudy Gay as a King. What a perfect fit...

Along with Rudy Gay, Quincy Acy and Aaron Gray will be traded to the Kings too, league sources tell Yahoo Sports.

Also, can't remember which media head tweeted it, but they're saying Rudy Gay will play PF for the Kings, and he and Derrick Williams will be interchangeable on the defensive end.

Edit: found it.

Kings plan on using Rudy Gay as a stretch power forward & see Gay & Derrick Williams as interchangeable guarding either forward, source says

Re: 2013-14 Transactions Thread

Gay would be an interesting PF, although it begs the question on if Gay plans on staying away from the 3pt line.

Although it doesn't really matter. Gay is pretty much an awful shooter from everywhere and his defensive abilities seem to be wasted by going to the PF spot.
