Remember when people said that Carmelo Anthony was a team killer? Remember how they were wrong about him? Well they are right about Bargnani on this one. Dude is a black hole for teams.
Kelly Dwyer said that he'll likely be waived after this? Odd. He still has two more years on his contract. Maybe he means they'll amnesty him. Either way, I want no part of him in Houston, unless it's on a Delfino-like contract.
You do not want him on a young team, he is the exact opposite of a delfino/scola guy. All talent, no effort or heart. Potentially a bad influence. Some contender will pick him up for cheap, where he might actually perform well. He might be good for the Lakers or even better, the Thunder, although I can see Miami picking him up.
I still don't understand why the Bulls drafted Aldridge #2 and then traded him for Ty Thomas(#4). What gave?
06 draft was GARBAGE. LA, Roy, and Rondo, Gay, Millsap, Lowry, Reddick, and Thabo (Stretch) are the only notable players from the draft.
Colangleo loves euros. Plus, Bargs was- at least on paper- a phenomenal prospect, he just has a terrible work ethic- hence why he's barely improved. Regardless, Toronto should have traded down for a wing player to play with Bosh.
I shook my head (and fist) at the Bulls doing this. I said from the beginning Tyrus Thomas would be a bust. But he rode a hot NCAA tourney performance into being drafted too high. On the other hand, there were serious doubts about LA's toughness in the NBA. He had a lot of trouble against physical players in college. I didn't think LA would be this good, but IMO it was obvious the only think Tyrus Thomas brought to the NBA was vertical leaping abilility.
