Raptors not trading Rudy Gay for Rodney Stuckey and Charlie Villanueva

Marc Stein of ESPN:

"Nothing but resistance from Toronto so far on Pistons’ pitch to swap expiring contracts of Rodney Stuckey & Charlie Villanueva for Rudy Gay"

I think this is a good trade for the Raptors, but I can see why they turned it down. They just somehow got a first-round pick for Andrea Bargnani, so I’m sure they’re hopeful they could get more for Gay. I doubt the Pistons’ offer is going anywhere.

The Pistons will just have to find another way to mildly upgrade their 2013-14 roster at the expense of 2014-15 flexibility.
