This post is not about whether or not Andrea is 'Franchise Center'. I think he has proven to be a VERY capable starter, whether or not it is truly a 'Center', that is fine. Move him to Power Forward.
But for you to say he's 'at best a 6th man', is such an ignorant and silly thing to say, I wish I hadn't even justified it with a response.
(But since you started it, :P haha, I don't think it reeeally matters whether or not Bargnani gives 6rbs and a block, or 10 rebounds and 2 blocks, if he is giving us 25+ pts a game. There is NO big man besides Dirk that can score like Bargnani. And like I've been saying, the game is still about outscoring your opponent. Bargnani offers a very unique and creative scoring ability that cannot be discounted, IF we can surround him with the right pieces.)
Anyway, thats not what this post is about, so you can go hate on Bargs somewhere else. That's fine.
If you are comparing the Raptors outlook to that of the Clippers and Kings, than that is just fine with me. And I'd be happy to have that discussion.
I think the young talent that both teams have acquired is also quite commendable and can't be overlooked, however, beyond that, they have very little to work with. The Raptors on the other hand, have far more pieces with which to make the puzzle work. And that is where my optimism lies. Whether or not Colangelo does good by that optimism is yet to be seen.
