Memphis is looking to shed some of their big contracts and Rudy gay is rumored to be on the block

Jazz trades Jefferson/Burks to Memphis for Rudy Gay
 
Tell me why Memphis would do that trade other then shed salary?

other than shed salary... It will allow memphis to re-sign mayo since they know they wont have to pay gay money. They would be able to bring Jefferson off the bench to play both PF and C behind Randolph and Gasol. Their front court could almost average 60 points a game. Instead of burks, jazz could send them hayward since he is more of a SF. That would allow burks to start at SG for the jazz

Favors
Millsap
Gay
Burks
Harris

Gasol/Jefferson
Randolph/Jefferson
Hayward
Mayo
Conley

I don't understand why people think this is what a team would won't. Al jefferson would refuse to come off the bench. Players don't just do what they are told. They care about themselves and money more than winning.

Tell that to Greg Popovich.
 
I don't think that Gay's contract is quite as bad as Joe Johnson's, but I don't really want him on that kind of a deal. He is going to eat up a HUGE amount of our cap space and honestly, he just isn't that good. Nice player, but on a contract like that you need to be putting up MVP candidate numbers.
 
I only take on Gay and his contract if Memphis throws in a future first rounder and they take Jefferson.

I would like their first rounder this year if it was possible.
