Rudy Gay Restricted FA next summer

Any chance Portland makes an offer? His demands seem delusional though.

The most Portland could offer is a MLE contract. If he takes that, Memphis would gladly match.

He's asking 10 mil a year, not a crazy amount if you just look at his career stats. However, I don't think he's worth that as I believe his stats are quite inflated thanks to being a main offensive option on a crappy Memphis team.

at this point I see a Webs/Batum combo as superior than Gay in team play and matchups and defense, plus bot guys combined are easily cheaper than his delusional demands, and both have good upside, an EZ pass.

Batum will probably be a better player than Gay. Outlaw is already just about as good as Gay. Webster is playing like a madman this year. Roy can play small forward very well.

There is no reason to invest in Rudy Gay or any small forward who is not a massive upgrade over the guys we've got.

I agree with the sentiment that Gay would not be an upgrade. He's a high volume shooter. He's inconsistent. He's been at times a malcontent. He's no one's idea of a defensive stopper. He's not a dead eye shooter.

I would hope we don't make an offer. I am just not a Rudy Gay fan.

Hell no. Gay is on his way to becoming the next Ron Mercer.

Watch the Knicks loose out on LBJ and Wade and throw some insane offer at Gay. Just watch.
