Cuz he had a bad game?
He’s shooting well and scoring efficiently. He provides sorely needed size, positional versatility, and can get you a bucket in a variety of ways (including in the post). He doesn’t chuck. He rebounds very well. He’s paid less than every other actual piece (I’m not counting benchwarmers or Hassan).
I’m fine sending Gay instead, but only if he wants out. I think trading dudes you just signed is really bad juju especially for a team with such a poor history of attracting or retaining free agents (outside of the last few years).
