Bargnani yes or no.

I was literally just thinking of a trade scenario with OKC where we somehow acquire back our pick.

I'd be so sad if that pick ends up yielding a talent like Wiggins or something.

I would not be sad to see Barg go but I think closer to the trade deadline we will have greater opportunity to make a package deal with playoff teams looking to push themselves over the hump. Calderon and either Davis/Amir, possibly barg if bc finally accepts his #1 pick is very very flawed.

Interesting Read on a trade idea from TBJ..

Sign me up for this everyday of the week.
Shorter contract by a year I believe
Better player offensively and he still can knock down mid range shots and the odd 3 here and there.

Plus even though he flops he'll draw charges and actually get you boards and have a post game.

We'd be foolish not to do this trade

no he is not

Prove it.

[Raps08-09 Champ]

awwww poor guy, 7footer has to grab a rebound how dare the raps expect that from a FIRST OVERALL PICK AT THAT

If you're going to do sarcasm, at least try better.

[Raps08-09 Champ]

that's exactly what i'm saying. one produces consistently and in more areas than the other.

Bargnani still contributes to wins, regardless if West produces in more areas.

there is no point discussing this if that's your attitude

What attitude?

I'm saying Bargnani produces (albeit maybe not as productive as West), compared to your statement that alludes Bargnani doesn't contribute to wins at all.

well than what is your justification for saying that Bargnani is better than West if you are conceding that he isn't as productive?

Talent doesn't always equal to consistent production. Doesn't change the fact that one is more talented than the other.

you are exhausting lol

well you just sit there and be satisfied with all your talent while i put together a team that wins. apparently that is what you value most.

No, I value both. You just don't get the point.

you haven't made one. all you have said is that Bargnani - despite being less productive in numerous categories - is the better player. your justification for that is that he is more talented. to which i asked what good is talent if you can't use it to be productive. and around and around we go...

Before I answer, I have to ask. Why do you keep alluding that Bargnani doesn't produce at all?

i haven't. that is your imagination.
