MainEv3nt Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 The Timberwolves are in need of a versatile small forward, and Rudy Gay could be a viable option. Gay, who can become a restricted free agent next summer, might not be affordable for the Grizzlies. The Pioneer Press writes that Ricky Rubio might be a trade chip, but there would be sizeable hoops to jump through in order to make that happen. http://realgm.com/src_wiretap_archives/61277/20090824/wolves_might_make_play_for_rudy_gay/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
La Bomba Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 Gay wants to stay in Memphis and has been working his [expletive] off this summer to get an extension. He will get a $10 million in training camp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWaLL Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 Rudy is definitely happy where he is. He'll undoubtedly lower his contract expectation next summer so that he can return without putting Memphis in a tough financial situation.

BlueDevil Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 Just out of curiousity, why is Rudy happy in Memphis? Is it because hes the featured player, because it appears theyre not gonna win big anytime soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWaLL Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 Just out of curiousity, why is Rudy happy in Memphis? Is it because hes the featured player, because it appears theyre not gonna win big anytime soonHe's their star player and he's stated he's happy in Memphis. Although I can't really see why anyone would considering their lack of ability to contend for even a playoff spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s.t.a.t. Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 I wouldnt really mind having Rudy, having him along Al Jefferson, then with the rest of our young lineup, that would look good in a few years IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Years Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 If the T'wolves can bring in a scorer to go along with their great front court that has a top 3 center and a promising rookie in Kevin Love the possibilities are endless.

Sun Tzu Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 And then imagine they got Rubio... Rubio, Flynn, Gay, Love and Jefferson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lone Wolf Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 I doubt we'll trade Rubio for Gay. That would be completely stupid. Wait until next year.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWaLL Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 They're more than likely going to wait to sign him. Trading for him now would be pointless since the Twolves don't exactly have a good chance at contending for a championship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesus Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 And then imagine they got Rubio... Rubio, Flynn, Gay, Love and Jefferson. It said that Rubio would be part of the trade. FlynnBrewerGayLoveJefferson It's pretty much accustom that the Timberwolves suck, so expect them to have a pretty nice Shooting Guard thanks to the draft, unless it would be part of the trade. Getting Rudy Gay for Ricky Rubio wouldn't really be to bad of a trade in my book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW Minnesota fans, this isn't going to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
