Toronto is also sending a second-round draft choice in 2013 and cash considerat­ions to the Grizzlies, who are flipping Calderon to the Detroit Pistons in exchange for forwards Austin Daye and Tayshaun Prince. “This is the type of deal we have been looking for to take our team another step forward,” said Raptors president and GM Bryan Colangelo in a statement. “Rudy Gay is a dynamic wing that elevates our talent level significan­tly.” Gay, the Grizzlies’ leading scorer, has been the subject of trade speculatio­n throughout the season as Memphis looks to unload his hefty max contract. The sixfoot-eight small forward is due US$16.5 million this season with $37 million more over the next two years.
