Obviously, the sooner BC can rid this team of some of the problems (Kleiza, Bargs, Calderon) the better. I really think it will be addition by subtraction. However, I also think due diligence needs to happen. The earliest BC should amnesty is AFTER the trade deadline. He's has to see if he can get ANY assets for those guys. Even a second rounder is an asset rather than giving away free money. If after the trade deadline they're still there, well, Calderon expires and Bargs can be shopped again after the season. I think Kleiza, unless packaged with someone else, is really the only untradeable asset. He's the best amnesty candidate.

We will not amnesty Bargs, ever.
The sooner you accept that, the better.
Two more possible trade partners are Charlotte and Cleveland. Both have a glut of first round picks (protected so Bargs may actually be worth it) they could trade, and both have worse options than Bargs at PF. Charlotte has crappy-bargs in Mullens, and Cleveland has Tristan Thompson, who can't score to save his life. Both have expirings that much up well with Bargs contract too. Plus charlotte has that awful Ben Gordon contract they'd probably like to move in exchange for Bargs.

I dont think amnesty Bargs is a good idea at all end of the day he may be soft but he is still a 7 footer that can shoot and stretch the floor, any team will pick him up after we drop him we trade this guy bottom line. I don't know if moving DeRozan should even be mentioned the guy is showing up every game so far and its not like its the usual DeRozan making 20 points after 30 attempts he quietly makes his 18-20 ppg a night nowadays.

Sadly, where ever Bargnani ends up he is likely to return to his near all-star status of last year.
Let's see Andrea actually make an all-star game before we assume he's going to play like one, in any uniform.

On a good team I see him as a ~15 ppg guy. In fact look at Gallinari's stats and drop it by about 10-20%

I think he'd do well in LA. I really do. If not too many people agree with me in that regard, such is life.
Ball movement, or lack thereof, in Toronto is really stifling offense - like everyone's.

There's no reason to Amnesty Bargnani at this time. As other threads have alluded to, this team's best chance to build is through the draft. So we amnesty Bargnani. We save $10M. Then what? Hope we can lure a good player over via free agency?your pal,
