Why is the move better now?
1) Raps get better.
2) playoff odds improve.
3) worst case scenario the pick going to OKC moves in to the teens vs. 10.
4) I don't believe there is a demand for Bargnani in the league. You'd have to be on crack to give up anything of value for him. He is not returning Millsap or Ilyasova or Smith. What is Bargnani going to do over the next 29 games to change any attitudes or perceptions about him?
5) Since this is likely the best deal out there for him, then the Raptors get 29 games to get players working together in preparation for next season. There will be familiarity with each other and training camp won't be yet another "getting-to-know-one-another" event. To steal a famous BC-ism: "Hit the ground running."
