Shocking trade

It appears as though the rumors were true. In the past few weeks there has been a lot of speculation about the Raptors and what they are going to do to continuously build up their team and make it better. The rumor was that the raptors were thinking about giving up their back-up point guard Jose Calderon for someone who would give them more of a dominant presence on the court. This however was only a rumor and not many believed it to be true, seeing as how Calderon was one of the raptors most reliable and top scoring players. Calderon was the Raptors longest serving player since 2005; he had played his whole career so far with Toronto. Although Calderon had lost his starting position to Lowry this season he was still one of our go-to guys when situations were tough. He was known for making the 3-piont shots that the raptors needed sometimes to keep them in the game. As good as Calderon was for our Raptors team, it seems as though they thought we needed something new. In the previous days the Raptors traded not only Calderon but also Ed Davis to the Memphis Grizzlies for their small forward Rudy Gay. Gay is one of the Grizzlies top scorers and he had also been with them for his entire NBA career thus far.  It is uncertain how this trade will play out for the raptors because they received a small forward instead of another point guard or even shooting guard that could also handle the ball in tough situations. This puts more pressure on Lowry to step up his game because now he does not have a steady backup anymore. We hope that this trade is favorable for our Raptors team and maybe it will give them the push that we need. Unfortunately for Raptors Starting small forward Alan Anderson he is now going to have to share his spot with a new star. But Gay might just be that powerful presence that our team needs to finish.
