Rudy Gay to the Raptors Trade Discussion Part II

[Johann]

Interesting thing I heard from BC when he was on the FAN590 yesterday.

He compared Gay to Joe Johnson, saying Joe wasn't being used to his full potential in Phoenix, playing behind Nash, Stoudemire, and Marion.

When he moved to Atlanta, he broke out. I'd like to see that with Gay here.

it could happen. we don't have a 1st option player. he could be that 1st option player if he could step up. just like james harden this season

also Rudy Gay will bring those reputation calls to this team. im hoping this move means a lot of calls goes towards our favour, and that a lot of those close calls near the end of the game will also be called in our favour

because part of the reason why we don't get those calls is simply because of reputation

I made a point about this months before the trade and I got a lengthy stat 101 lesson from the resident stats guy.

i hope he proves me wrong but i just don't see whats so great about the guy.

[heyman321]

He is an overpaid chucker, but it's pretty funny that in the conference he acted as if he was happy to leave the Grizz

He's clutch?

[FlakeyFool]

Add Rudy gay to the bosh era...could have been something good

I provided a rebuttal because I didn't think Gay's situation is remotely similar to Harden. If you have a valid rebuttal not based on subjective opinions and hearsay then back up your case instead of passive aggressively calling me out all the time. However, you seem to only want opinions that validate your own. How boring. I'm sorry I ever replied to you at all.

He draws less fouls than Demar. What reputation calls?

I apologize that you are that sensitive. I don't obsessed my self with stats when I make an argument. It's already water under the bridge, I didn't intentionally woke you up from your slumber with my recent comment.

Aaron Gray is our Marc Gasol lol.

I'm not being sensitive, I just think that if you have a problem with someone you might as well just be upfront about it or ignore them instead of being a little ***** and passive aggressively attacking them whenever possible.

It's not just me, you do it with everyone you don't agree with. You said you were done with this argument months ago, but here I am again, receiving the same platitudes you so kindly bestowed from a month old discussion.

As well, you clearly don't get it. It's not about being obsessed with stats, it's about having some sort of objective basis for your argument or else this whole discussion is just pointless. A great example of this is the whole Rudy Gay trade. People have all these subjective expectations of Gay's game but for anyone that has remotely watched Memphis through anything other than the highlights, they know that these expectations are not only unfounded but unrealistic.
