Memphis send Gay and Hamed Haddadi to the Toronto Raptors; Memphis gets Ed Davis, Tayshaun Prince, Austin Daye and 2013 2nd round pick in return, and Detroit gets Jose Calderon.
From a Grizzlies perpective...I'm lost. The team is fourth in the western conference, and you trade your best player? If the Grizzlies have luxury-tax issues and need to free up money, couldn't say trade him in the off-season?
At first, I thought they got back Ed Davis and Jose Calderon, only. But once the official proposal was release and I saw that Davis, and Tayshaun Prince was going back to Memphis, then I found it a bit understandable. At least they get a proven player back, in Prince.
Feel really bad for Gay. Went from a 29-15, to a 16-29 team ... That's rough to take.
