And I'm not sure why you though I expected too much of Bargnani during his rookie season. I actually expected very little. I wasn't talking about his rookie season. Bargnani's playing time actually went DOWN in his second season. And it wasn't until Mitchell was fired that he was able to get consistent minutes.
As for your assertion that if he doesn't change then trade him, why is this time different from the other times? There are always excuses to be had. If you haven't noticed, there are plenty of people here who used to be a fan of Bargnani, but slowly got sick of him not progressing. For me, I wanted him gone as soon as he was drafted because he was a big man who couldn't rebound or play defense, and I don't believe you can win with that. For others it was after his second season, when he regressed. For others it was when he started the whole season beside Bosh and still didn't improve his defense or rebounding. For others it was after he became "the man" on offense and his defense and rebounding actually got worse.
You can always move the "line". I've seen it moved many times.
