magicbalala245 Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 If the Houston Rockets aren't able to acquire Dwight Howard, sources say they'll attempt to trade for Rudy Gay or Josh Smith. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 All they had to do was keep Rudy. Trading him worked out well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dash Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 Heck no to Rudy Gay. @Flash I'd rather have prime Battier. Trade was worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JYD Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 What's wrong with Rudy Gay? He's pretty nasty. And if you rather have prime Shane Battier than Rudy Gay, you're off your rocker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChosenOne Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 I would actually like to have Rudy. The dude is young and he can play. Wouldn't mind him at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AboveLegit Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 (edited) I'd rather keep all of those picks than trade them for Rudy Gay. Edited June 28, 2012 by AboveLegit 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Make It Naaaashty Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 Rudy Gay is worse than a prime Battier? LOLWUT Houston should definitely go for Rudy. Young and athletic scorer which is what Houston needs. But with me being a huge Rudy fan, others probably have a different opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only nasty thing about him is his contract. I'd rather keep all of those picks than trade them for Rudy Gay. Yep. Trading for Gay doesn't do anything for us and it cripples our flexibility, which isn't something Morey stands for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AboveLegit Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 (edited) The only nasty thing about him is his contract. And his average defense, sub par efficiency numbers, and ball stopping ability. He's not worth trading for, not in the least bit.

Dash Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 Gay would have been such an awful fit for that Rockets team. Tracy would have stunted his growth because Gay needs the ball in hands and wouldn't have had the same freedom he did in Memphis as Houston was looking to win now rather than develop a rookie. Shane, on the other hand, meshed in perfectly with Tracy and Yao because he could play off-ball, was a sniper from deep (42% three point shooter the one year both stars were healthy and he had a few post moves in his arsenal although much of his offensive game has deteriorated due to aging and surgery) and at one point was the best defensive wing in the entire league. The last thing the Rockets needed was another ball dominant forward. It was Daryl Morey's first trade (reportedly had a lot of influence while he was assistant general manager as he was expected to take over in a year) and an excellent one at that, it might have worked out in Houston's favor too if the team just could have stayed healthy. Now Rudy Gay wouldn't do much more than have Houston take another step into mediocrity and crippled cap flexibility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
