I like the deal because if nothing else it gets rid of Gay who was always going to have the Raptors stuck in mediocrity with him and his cap hit on the team. Plus him and DD were a terrible fit since both loved shooting bad shots and both loved ignoring the defensive end.
Salmons and Hayes are just contracts and should be gone after this season if not earlier. Vazquez could be a fine replacement short term if they are able to get rid of Lowry.
The team needed to go all in (which would have been a bad move) or start dumping the deadweight. Good to see them go the right way and hopefully this will be the first of many moves. Would be nice to see Lowry and DD gone as well.
