Gay and WCS for Morris, Tucker and Weems.

Yeah. I would do that.

He would fit in really well with the low IQ highly inefficient players that we already have.

The Kings could trade their pick under some circumstances.

They owe a top 10 protected pick but they could trade it reverse protected meaning they give the Suns their next top 10 pick. In that case I would consider moving Bledsoe or Knight for Gay.

Since a deal with ORL now looks unlikely, I could see this as a possibility.

Knight for Gay if Gay is okay with a bench role.

Gets rid of a black hole, the thought of dual PG lineup and opens up for Booker. Plus we need more veterans to teach our chickens to be professional.

So they essentially trade the Lakers #1 pick for Rudy Gay.
If this happens McDonough is gone.

He shouldn't have traded the Lakers pick for Knight in the first place.

Gambo has said Rudy Gay is coming to Phoenix every year for the last 3 or 4. It's kind of like the Suns groundhog day. The trade deadline isn't here until Gambo says the Suns will go after Rudy Gay.

Ugh, Rudy Gay makes no sense for this team. If Bledsoe was healthy and we're pushing for positioning in playoffs I could see something like this but not as the team currently stands.

I think the Suns only trade for Gay if another piece is included like Willie Cauley-Stein and perhaps a draft pick.

This is what I fee like too.

I think Sarver's a big Gay fan and would perhaps like to see him in PHX some day.

True. But he didn't say Bledsoe, Knight, Leuer, Booker, Price, Teletovic, Chandler, Len, Warren or Goodwin were staying so I'm not sure that's really insider knowledge.

Did you expect any of those guys to be traded? It's been reported for weeks that multiple teams were interested in PJ and the Suns were gauging his value. Given the fact this team is terrible and PJ could help a contender I thought he'd be gone.

Fair point. But there were even more rumors about Teletovic and he's still here.

I'll bet anyone $100 that Gambo will report the same thing next year, so long as Gay is playing in the NBA. Would anyone take that bet?
