Notice that it was reported by "a group of season ticket holders". It's a business. They need to let their investors know that they are serious about winning and bringing in revenue. However, Memphis doesn't have the financial backing, or the willing to spend to keep Rudy Gay. Especially if a team like the Knicks, Clippers, Bulls or Wizards offer him big time money in the 14 mil range.

Very true, i didn't really think about it like that.
I'd definitely consider him as a good option. We're a bit crowded at SF with Gallo and Will both playing the position naturally, but Wilson can play some shooting guard, and Gallo can play at PF so we could make it work. He'd definitely thrive in this system. He can shoot the 3 and run the court. Not a bad on ball defender either which would be nice. He'd be a nice upgrade to our wings.yeah, its a little lame, but i for one hope we get Rudy, i like his game and i think he could do really well in NY.

The prize is still LeBron, Wade, Bosh or Johnson though. Not as much Johnson, but the rest would be my first priorities if I were a GM.
Oh I agree, Lebron and bosh are most definitely my favorite picks, i'm not to sure about wade mainly because i can't see him coming to NY, i would love him here, but i can't see it happening. Lebron and Bosh i can see. And i still think that when Mcgrady gets back to full or almost full strength would be better for us than Johnson, not to mention we could pay him a lot less money.

I hope all Knick-Fans is noticing the difference in our organization and other organizations in this article.
The Memphis owner was direct and to the point....Rudy Gay is our "MAX" Franchise Player at this moment "I will match any offer".
If u dont have any player worthy of Rudy Gay status (to boost Memphis attendance) in a sign and trade, then dont waste your time drawing up a max contract offer-sheet for Gay. It will be matched!
Is Rudy Gay worth $20M per? yes, in Memphis he is (on the next team nada).
Why? in the 2009 offseason the big hype was Memphis signing Allan Iverson, to go alongside of SG-Mayo, SF-Gay, PF-Zach, and C-Gasol.
The Memphis Grizz ticket-holder sells went up four times over at the Iverson hype, before training camp open.
Letting Iverson go....within the next 2 to 3 months Memphis ticket sells dropped tremendously.
It's not hard to figure out what would happen to the Grizz attendance if Gay is not apart of the 2010-11 season.
So I have to believe the owner of the Memphis Grizz on this one...
P.S. the Spurs & Blazzers better not "SLIP" up the rest of this season b/c the Rockets & Grizz are riding their backs in this playoff race where it might come down to the 82nd game of the season to find out the West 7th and 8th slot playoff teams...
What are the chances of us even having T-Mac healthy for a whole season. T-Mac is good he still has some in him even though he is not really that old but he has been in this league for awhile. T-Mac is a type of player NOW that I rather have as my 3rd best player not as my 1st.Yeah I agree about T-Mac. Even if he isn't as good as Johnson, I'd rather commit to T-Mac for a couple years than have to deal with Johnson's contract once his talent declines.
Yeah, no I agree. I didn't mean to make it seem as if I wanted T-Mac as my #1 option. I was assuming T-Mac signed for cheap and we pursued another free agent. I understand why you were mixed up though, my post wasn't very detailed lol.What are the chances of us even having T-Mac healthy for a whole season.

I'd like T-Mac as a 3rd option as well...more so than Gallo or Will until either of them proves they are capable.
There's a difference between having a great skill set/potential and beingba proven 3rd option. Once again you seem to be disecting my posts for irrelevant and non existent fallacies.now i'm really confused... in another thread you use the word 'great' in refering to 'zip'ole and wilson... now they are not capable??
so they are 'great' but not 'capable' ??

Everyone agrees that gallo and will have great skills and loads of potential. That makes them capable of being a solid basketball player. The key word in my post was "until" because until they put up "3rd option" kind of numbers, they are nothing more than role players. Potential alone though makes them solid.
