And finally Chuck Hayes, while undersized at the forward position, will replace a lot of what Quincy Acy provided in terms of hustle and rebounding. Salmons at one point was a do-it-all wing type and a solid perimeter defender but his stock has dropped in recent years and is likely viewed more as salary cap fodder. The Raptors worked out Patrick Patterson in the draft where they selected Ed Davis, and he should give the club some needed depth up front. While there's no player of Gay's talent coming back to Toronto in the deal, the move give the club a ton more financial flexibility as well as one of the league's top pick-and-roll point guards in Vasquez. The deal has the Raps sending Gay, along with Aaron Gray and Quincy Acy to the Kings in exchange for point guard Greivis Vasquez, wing John Salmons, and forwards Patrick Patterson and Chuck Hayes. Yahoo! Sports' Adrian Wojnarowski first broke the newsand indeed, it looks like another major piece of former Raptors' GM, Bryan Colangelo's empire, will be no more.
According to reports, the Toronto Raptors have traded Rudy Gay to the Sacramento Kings for a package of players.
