but toronto is not saving money, theyre unloading calderon's contract for an even bigger one..granted rudy gay is a nice player, giving up ed davis is still big. he actually has some legit potential. as for detroit, they wanted to dump salary and do need a distributor, so i dont think theyre gunna trade calderon. on second glance, the trade doesnt make as much sense as i thought it did...i think both toronto and memphis woulda been better standing pat.

Its not about saving money or Calderon contract.  Its about Calderon walks at the end of the season and Raptors get nothing for him.

PLANT:
Plus, when you can trade for a player (Rudy Gay) and he immediately becomes the best player on your team, thats a good thing.

Not too pleased with dealing Ed Davis...

The Watcher:
memphis new owners dont care about winning a title. they have 2 stars on the team (gasol & zbo), as long as they are in the playoffs every year and keeping people buying tickets, they're happy

Meho:
I wonder if they'll move B.Knight to SG and Calderon will get the starting gig.
