Rudy Gay opts in

Makes sense. He played his best basketball with the Kings.

It's also a lot more money that he would make next year if he went into FA.

This is wild speculating, but I have heard that Sacramento still likes Rajon Rondo. If the C's do not acquire Love then maybe they make an offer of Rondo and Jeff Green for Gay the 8th pick and a Salary to come back. Am I crazy or might that actually work?

 

[RayRay19]

Would take more than that for rondo. 8th Mclemore Thomas and another 1st rounder I would say. Doubt we take on gays contract without giving up wallaces.

That's way too much.

 

[RayRay19]

They were willing to give up thomas and the 8th for Bledsoe. Don't see how they don't up the offer for Rondo.

They offered the 8th and Thomas for bledsoe. Don't see why they won't up the offer for Rondo.

Rondo isn't nearly good enough to command that sort of package. At least I don't think he is.

Gay takes a pay cut on his next contract or he actually lives up to his talent this year.

 

[Brochacho]

I would cry tears of joy if Rondo/Green for Gay/8 happened.
6- Embiid
8- Lavine
17- Young

The Celtics would also have the money to sign Rondo back in the offseason AND target Kevin Love.

Maybe someday we can have a thread about Rudy Gay where someone doesn't feel the need to rip him.

Good for Rudy. He's worked hard to get where he is and is making a ton of dough for it; He's a fantastic UCONN representative, and seems like a great guy.

He's one of those guys who really wanted to come back for junior year because he was enjoying his experience, but JC (rightly) kicked him squarely out the door. When you are lotto, you go.

I think Okafor is a free agent this year but has been struggling with injuries. Does anyone have the latest skinny on him? He can be a valuable back up for a contending team, no?

Okafor has proven himself to be an asset. Character guy who puts up a double/double if you play him 30 minutes. He would give the Heat more than the Ohio State stiff.

He's a poor man's Melo. Both have a reputation for being ball hog losers that I never quite agreed with.

Sure, but he's our guy. If people want to pick on a Syracuse product that's to be expected, but getting mad at Rudy Gay because he didn't make all your dreams come true in 2006 got old a long time ago.

I'm not mad at Rudy at all. They're just similar players and Rudy has a track record of leaving teams and the team actually playing better team basketball.

Didn't mean you, should have been clearer.
