I disagree.

Some of you have that perception that a player is either a superstar or trash. An average NBA player of starting caliber is still a quality and valuable player to have on your roster. Rudy Gay could start for more than half the teams in this league.

I know he doesnt deserve to be mentioned among elite players or all stars but the kid can play in the league. He's a quality starter. Just not a star tho he got paid like one

hes :trash: Hes a chucker who takes bad shots with a below 40% FG percentage and doesn't do anything else.

Overpaid? YES
Trash? NO

I don't want Rudy Gay ANYWHERE near my team.

He thinks and plays like a superstar when he shoots like....well, here's the list of players who are around his abysmal TS%.

Mike James
Chuck Hayes
Derek Fisher
Darius Morris
Ricky Rubio
Dahntay Jones
Shannon Brown
Wesley Johnson
Dante Cunningham
Michael Beasley

Except Gay's usage rate is by far the highest among them.

And his A:TO ration is damn near 1:1 :kobedamn:

He's trash.

hes getting paid millions...he doesnt give a shyt about his "heart"

i'd be the same type of player...im getting paid regardless of how my team does..id have no desire to "will" my team to a championship, or make players better..let me swag on some nikkas, and stunt off my millions in the bank

:whoa:

He's a solid man and help defender, and he avg close to 20 pts a game. Plus a solid rebounder. As a Nets fan I'd prefer him over Joe Johnson and we'd be the better team for it.

He has gotten worse every year when he should be peaking i think he's the definition if "doing just enough to get by" he will always start on bad teams but any smart team knows to stay away from him

Toronto is fukked for years with that contact and watch they will just enough not to get wiggins or any real top picks

He has all the tools, nikka just can't read the manual is his biggest problem. :laugh: Plus, he just doesn't "want it", just happy to be where he is at, even though he has shown a lot of glimpses that he can be a great and elite player.

:manny: shyt, dude has already made it, can't even blame him. Not everybody can have that Jordan/Kobe drive. Just glad he's not on MY team :smugbiden:

Thought he was okay, but now he's playing in Canada so he might as well be dead.

He's not a chucker. This is the first time in his career he's having a terrible year from the field. First time he has a shyt FG%. He's far from trash. Top 5 SF in the league
