Lunchbox Links - All the Rudy Gay Trade Talk You Can Handle!

Did anyone win the Rudy Gay trade? Mark Deeks of the Basketball Jones blog thinks no one really won or lost.

There's a lot of analysis floating around about the Gay trade. However, in my opinion, Wages of Wins does the best job of summarizing the key points:
