Well we can at least admit he sucks being a top 15 scorer in the NBA. So no matter what happens and what coaching does next at least we are certain of one thing, our team produced at top 15 scorer who doesn’t deserve to be here and should be traded.

If I didn't know better, I think draft picks will become like free agents - not wanting to come here either.

Raptors fans support people who work hard. I hope he can find a group of fans who soley quantify worth by one stat, PPG. In the process I hope they discard are their "junk" on to the Raptors. You know, hustle guys who can be effective with or without the ball and do things on both sides of the court which helps on off nights so that their net impact isn't negative.

You can not have a winner with having a team full of Skilled Player who do NOT work too hard or don't do the dirty Job. The same is true that you can not have a team full of garbage man who can not shoot pass the 15 feet line and dribble the ball !!
It is nice to see the fans here who are used to Hockey and ... appreciating the garbage man , blue color type players but the constant bashing of STARS in this city, be it it was VC, Bosh and now AB is just ridiculous.

AB deserves better than Toronto and I can not wait to see this team next season. I made a prediction in another thread. With BC and Jay in Charge and AB out of Toronto, This team will not win more than 18 games next season.

The majority of games this year bargnani was forced to guard the pick and roll, while his defensive partner Ed, Amir, Reggie were locate underneath the basket. Logic suggest its much more likely you will get a rebound right next to the basket as appose to away from the basket. Again like I said it’s really hard to measure defense and rebounding because players on poor defensive teams often times focus on team problems, such as rotating helping out etc.. which leaves them less focused on guarding the basket and being available for rebounding opportunities.
DunkinDerozan wrote: View PostMost teams in the playoffs have a scoring 4 playing alongside a true 5. Dirk, Bosh, Boozer, Aldridge, Gasol, etcc all these teams have legitimate stretch 4’s which are crucial to winning. Bargnani is ALWAYS an asset to his team on the offensive end. He spreads the floor and keeps defenses honest. His defense has steadily been improving if you discount rebounding .. his positioning has improved, he is more willing to take charges than ever before and he often tries (without much success) to help out his teammates.
And teams don't need a stretch 4. Oklahoma certainly doesn't have one. Neither does San Antonio. All you really need is a big man who can hit from 15 feet to keep defenses honest, and Amir does this. I also don't see what the point of complaining that the Raptors won't have a big man who can stretch the defense when we don't even know who the center will even be next year. If it's Kanter, he's apparently a good outside shooter.

DunkinDerozan wrote: View PostI think the defensive issue has less to do with Andrea and more to do with the team. If you put the proper defensive players around Andrea the team defensive will improve. Every team needs a balance between offense and defense. You can’t just put two defensive minded bigs in your starting lineup who provide no offense because it will become an offensive nightmare, which is why having a scoring big man is a huge advantage to any team’s success which is not measured by rebounding but WINS.
And your argument, as I've said, doesn't take into account who the center will be next year. And both Amir and Davis do provide offense. Not as much as Bargnani, but since they also play defense, they don't need to score as much to make a positive impact. No one is denying the need to provide offense, but you seem set on the player providing the offense having a negative impact on the defensive end. Most of us just would rather have any offensive players also being able to play defense. I really don't understand why you don't. It doesn't have to be one or the other, you know.
DunkinDerozan wrote: View PostWas he handed his 10 million dollar contract on a silver plate as well. You can’t fake talent or production at the NBA level. Colangelo and those who approve player signings don’t hand out money for nothing espcially the second time around. Yes his shooting percentage efficeny decreased from previous years but that is going to happen when you are constantly doubled teamed and have little talent around you. What I find interesting however is with the added defensive pressure and the subtraction of arguably our best player in Bosh he was still able to increase his scoring production which to me indicates his offensive skill set dramatically improved from previous years.
DunkinDerozan wrote: View PostEvery player has a specific role. Andrea is not paid to dive for loose balls or push around with 280 pounders. Its like asking the ceo of a company to generate income AND do the heavy lifiting. Most likely wont happen, nor is it efficient for the company since the ceo may risk pulling a back muscle and then who know which direction the company will go in.

Why do so many Bargnani supporters (at least the most vocal ones) seem to believe that either a player is a great scorer, or has no offensive talent, and there's nothing in between? The whole argument seems to be that you need scoring to win, and if you want Bargnani traded that automatically means that you don't want anyone on the team that can score. It's either Bargnani or Reggie Evans.
Believe it or not, you can get a player who can score AND play defense. Can you imagine that?Read my blog, The Picket Fence. Guaranteed to make you think or your money back!

Well, he is starting for a Play off team now and holding his own !! Same can be said to some extend about Jack. Same was said about Bonner. Bosh was deemed a weak defender and the Bashers were all over him last night.
Mark my word, AB will be dropping 30+ pt on this Scrub of Raptor team and will be shining in the play offs if he is traded.
