Guys relaxx.... With Jonas and Johnson on this team and we always needing some serious talent from the wings this is a fair trade that we can afford to make.
Everyone will be thanking BC by next week just watch
Without Davis, it means Bargnani starting again, with Johnson playing out of position at the 4.
meanwhile you've got Gay, DeRozan, and Ross at teh 2/3 when they're all very much redundant.
This is one of those "I'm making a move to make a move and look like I'm doing the team some good" trade.
Honestly trading DeRozan makes more sense for me. Memphis gets a younger, cheaper Rudy Gay knockoff (minus the 3-point shooting) to plug back into its lineup and keep costs down. Toronto gets an improved DeRozan who costs more, but gives you a little bit more. It doesn't really solve all the problems with the Raptors, nor does it give them a true go-to scorer. But swapping those two players is a better trade-off than losing Davis and trying to cram all 3 of DeMar, Gay, and Ross into the lineup.
