Grantland's Zach Lowe reported last week that the Grizzlies had begun the process of letting various teams know that Gay would be available in the right deal before the annual February trade deadline.
Sources told this week that the Raptors - who tried to make a play for Gay before the 2012 NBA draft - remain seriously 'interested' in the Grizzlies' leading scorer and are trying to assemble trade packages to bring the 26-year-old to Toronto after preliminary talks with Memphis.Īmong the trade chips that the Raptors are believed to be dangling, in addition to draft considerations, are veteran point guard Jose Calderon (who has an expiring contract worth $10.6 million) and young big man Ed Davis. The Raptors might not be able to swing a deal for him.
The Toronto Raptors, by contrast, have definitively decided to make a real run at Gay. 21 buzzer for deals, according to NBA front-office sources. The Memphis Grizzlies have not made an iron-clad decision about trading swingman Rudy Gay before the league's Feb. Are the Grizzlies considering moving Rudy Gay?
