Interesting quote from Casey, as taken from the Toronto Star.
"Casey said his first up-close and personal look at Bargnani after seeing him as an opposing coach was enlightening. He was impressed by Bargnani’s “ability to play defence, his quickness and speed at the defensive end . . . pick-and-roll coverages.
“Just using his length on the defensive end. I had never seen it, but I saw it. He showed it and as my grandfather said, ‘He told on himself.’
“I know now he can do it, so that’s going to be the command coming back in next year.”

This is nothing new, every coach has said they've seen him do it. Even Bargnani said he can do it.
The problem is/was that he's lazy. But, if he says Casey has got him to commit good for him.If Your Uncle Jack Helped You Off An Elephant, Would You Help Your Uncle Jack Off An Elephant?
Sometimes, I like to buy a book on CD and listen to it, while reading music.

Besides what do you expect a coach to say about your best player? That he is no good on the other end?

Will he ever bang with the bangers? No.
Will he ever be a help side shot blocker? No.
Will he ever be a great rebounder (or good)? No (no).
Is he utterly useless defensively? No.
He is what he is. I hope he can be healthy next year and contribute to a winning Raptors team.

They need to show videos of Bargnani's non-13 game self to Bargnani to show him how not to play

I really think he'll be one of those players who once you let go, will come back and bite you on the ass. I didnt mean that literally, what i meant was the Raps trade him and he turns into an All-Star. But thats just my opinion.

tbihis wrote: View PostI agree. If we get more wins, becomes contenders, then good riddance. But thats why I said "come back and bite you in the ass" meaning he contributes more to the team that he goes to and helps them get more wins, while we still keep losing.

On the same note, i dont want to keep Bargnani just for the sake of keeping him, nor trading him for the sake of trading him. There has to be a good return, and fits the Raptors plans and needs, whatever they want to do with Bargnani.Last edited by TheGloveinRapsUniform; Tue Apr 24, 2012, 04:50 PM.
