Zbo, Gay, and Conley, and to a certain extent Gasol are all overpaid. This greatly hampers their ability to build a solid bench.
They also lack great shooting. Allen is not a shooter at all. Conley is their only real 3 point threat.
Also, Conley is getting paid like a star caliber PG when he is a very average starter. Gay is getting paid like Lebron. Nuff said.
Moving Gay may be a business move. That team, although very strong, is a money pit. Maybe ownership is losing money or trying to not lose any?
