Financially this was kind of dumb on Memphis' part.
They could have waited until he visited Minny (or somewhere else) andwas offered a contract. That contract would have been less than what hegot (no other team could have offered Gay that much money because when you're restricted your own team can offer you the most $). Then theycould have matched that contract, kept Gay, and saved millions ofdollars.

As I pointed out, Gay has not improved enough since his second year to warrant a bigger contract than $8-12 million/year for me. I know he is young so he still has potential to turn into a legit franchise player, but I doubt it. Also, similar players from a couple years back like Kevin Martin ($55 million/5 year) and Danny Granger ($60 million/5 year) got contracts around that range.
John Salmons played better than his $25 million/5 year deal when given the chance. $8 million might be high for his age, but he can put up numbers similar to Gay to be honest if he was the focal point.

I'm guessing management didn't want to deal with a front loaded contract or trade kickers.

Why would the Grizzlies trade Gay for Jefferson when they already have Randolph and Gasol?

Yeah, the Blazers signed Millsap to a front loaded contract last year. So, the Grizzlies wanted to avoid that. Rudy Gay as a max dude though, is another story.
The Knicks are offering a big 3 package themselves. They're trying to convince guys to sign a 5 year 15.7M type deal, in which they can opt out after 3 years. That's when they'll own their Bird rights and then can give them more $. And then they still have Curry's contract that comes off the books next year, to entice another big name 2011 FA.
And the Suns are offering Frye a 5 year 25M deal.

I would take that if I were Frye, but I'm sure like many other FA's, he's looking at the obvious situations going on before he makes a final decision.

IMO, Rudy Gay's contract is up there with Rashard Lewis' as one of the worst contracts in the league.
