How do you build around Gay?

Seems to me like his ideal compliment was the guy they just traded away (Calderon). Or maybe he and Lowry form a poor mans Durant/Westbrook?

Should they look to move Bargnani or see if they can show signs of cohesion? I think their inability to get someone to take Fields was unfortunate.

Barfnani is already being shopped. The offers should be interesting since his stock is crap right now

**Guppyfighter** · 01-31-2013, 02:28 AM

Give him three Lebron James and a Dwight Howard.

In the butt.

You can't, he's just a starting SF, Wiggins though, that's another story

I don't think it's considered "building around" when most of the pieces are already there.

You see, the Raptors already have a core of young players, including Terrence Ross, Demar Dezoan, Jonas Valanciunas, Amir Johnson, Landry Fields, [Bargnani,] and Kyle Lowry. And now you can include Rudy Gay.

We have no superstars, and I don't think Rudy Gay will ever be considered one, so I don't think he's the cornerstone of this team. He'll likely be the number 1 option on the floor, but that's about it.

You don't. You build with him.

I never thought a team would have to "build around" Rudy Gay. Shows just how sad the Raptors truly are

**numba1CHANGsta** · 01-31-2013, 03:09 AM

You build not around, but IN him

**Stunnerko123** · 01-31-2013, 03:27 AM

Derozan , Bargs , 3 1st for Love

**Kashmir13579** · 01-31-2013, 03:41 AM

In what way was getting rid of Fields even a remote possibility?

I don't think you build around Gay. I think he needs to be a part of a super-team to succeed. A super-team featuring a Rondo or Steve Nash esque point guard.

I dont know.

I know this, tough: Stay away from Pau!!!!!!!!!

**Ebbs** · 01-31-2013, 03:55 AM

They should move Bargs and give Lowry - DeRoz - Gay - Johnson - Jonas serious time. I think that's a playoff team. Move Bargs + something for a defensive 4/5.

**idrinkpepsi** · 01-31-2013, 04:02 AM

Too bad to contend, too good to rebuild.

Raptors are ****ed.
