Bargnani's not going anywhere, nobody's taking that contract. I mean, maybe there's a trade out there, but it would probably be for something even worse. Like somebody probably still owes Darius Miles $10 million or something.
A man can dream, can't he? I'd honestly take Darius Miles at 10 mil per year over Bargnani lol.
Has there ever been a player more coddled than Bargnani? BC's love and fascination of him is so irrational and inexplicable... is he his biological father or something? does he owe someone a debt or favour? Because what the flying fuck.
In his 7 year span as a Toronto Raptor, Bargnani has changed positions multiple times from SF to PF to C and back to PF. He's gone through multiple coaches, presumably getting them fired because some of them were too tough on him (Sam Mitchell is on record saying he was told by the FO to go easy on him...). He was undeservedly handed a starting spot despite abysmal performances, just because. The guy can't rebound, can't defend, has no low post game, and is an inefficient shooter. In his entire span here, the dude has a 13 game stretch where he was pretty good and that's it. And that's the only bullet point Bargnani fans have - a 13 sample game over a 7 year career.
And yet Colangelo still protects him, and will undoubtedly hand him back the starting position because he is too damn fragile to come of the bench or something. FFS.
(I know I've given this rant way too many times. I'd guess posts like these account for 25% of my post history, but every now and then I need to get it off my chest. Being a raptors fan... doesn't feel good man).
