Masai was right on when he said that the Raptors had too many of the same player. In a championship team, Gay is a perfect 4th option, but on this team, there's too much pressure for him as the #1. Tanking will pay huge dividends next year to say the least, so I'm not sad to see a somewhat talented player go. Now if some more of the mediocre players like Lowry and maybe Amir, can be dealt, the tank will be full on, and it also gives a chance for the lessers to put up some better points. I'd go with a 12 man rotation though, rather than using a 6 starters type of scenario. It takes the pressure off Jonas, Ross and DeRozan to produce, while tanking. There has to be other shoes to drop from this.
