He also has a much improving offensive game that includes a knack for flashing to the basket at the right time to get passes for easy layups.
A front court of JV, Davis, and Amir looks like it could actually be really good in a year or two.
Trading Davis also means we are back to having Bargnani as our starting PF, and I simply can't stand that idea anymore.
I'd be trying to offload Bargnani and Calderon for Gay, whether is was directly to Memphis or through a multi-team trade including possibly the Lakers or Boston.

The problem there is threefold. JV, Davis and Amir are all undersized. Yes they could put on more weight but really only JV has the frame to do so. The other two problems are Bargnani is injured and he SUCKS. So clubs aren't going to trade for an injured player or one who can't sink a basket without taking 5 shots to do so and who can't snag a rebound or play any help defense whatsover. Personally I just amnesty him at the end of the season unless he has a complete attitude change.
