Rudy Gay Trade is a step in a better direction for the Raptors

Rudy Gay less than a year in Toronto had some great finishes but more hero ball forgetting about his teammates and created a culture of just looking to break down his opponent and not pass the ball which kept the Raps at the bottom of the league in assists and made it easy to stop them. The best part of the deal is that the Raps get flexibility under the cap and whatever Masai Ujiri does with the cap room will be make or breaks the deal. Grevis Vasquez who is coming to Toronto from Sacramento Kings is more a pass first and shoot second and will hopefully be a great backup to Kyle Lowery and if Lowery not able to find the ability to pass the ball to his teammates he will find his butt on the bench and Grevis Vasquez would become the starter. Chuck Hayes who is also coming will hopefully bring in more of the toughness that the injured Tyler Hansbrough has brought to the Raps when he finds the court. John Salmons was one of first contracts that Brian Colangelo in 06 when he came in and Salmons decided to refused the contract and went to the Kings and then bounced around the league and then there is Patrick Patterson who was a lottery pick in 2010 and Colangelo thought of picking him before Ed Davis fell into his lap. The Raps let go of Rudy Gay and his max contract along with Aaron Gray and Quincy Acy who do not have a full-time roll with Rapstors team. If the Raptors can bring the 72 paint points and 19-11 assist to turnovers that they used for their first win over Lakers in LA in 13 years this could help the raps in the TITANIC division but if they keep living and dying by the three ball nothing will change (26 three balls vs Lakers and it was more than that). I believe in Masai Tom Mehegan
