    As a long time Raptors fan, I've always hated him. Might be the softest 7 footer in league history. One of the worst rebounders at his position for sure. I was so happy when the Raptors dumped him.

    the cancer that hamstrung the Raptors for years

    This guy literally does not care about the game of basketball and it shows in everything he does on the court. He's actually very talented for his size, too bad he's just all there when he's on the court especially on defense. He plays basketball with zero passion, doesn't matter if he scores, fails, he's just really mundane and emotionless like he's just going on auto pilot.

    He plays like he doesn't want anybody to touch him. Very soft player who's (laughably) best days are behind him. I'd rather have Dorsey.....wait, I just threw up in my mouth a little.

    Watch the "They Traded Bargnani?" video from the Toronto sportscasters. Just one of the best sports videos ever. (Sorry, can't imbed.)

    According to the video the raptors get the knicks 2016 pick. There is no way the knicks don't suck next year. The raptors have a great trade asset on their hands if they want to cash it in.

    Melo can get them to the playoffs in the East. They don't even need to be a .500 team to get out of the lottery.

    And note that the Nuggets have first rights to that pick in the Melo trade. Denver has the right to swap picks with the Knicks next year. The Raptors have seconds; the worse of the two picks. But Denver looks to suck, too.

    Rockets should absolutely get him. They have never really gotten a 4 who can shoot 3's. This will come closer to the realization of Moreyball

    Cleaning house. I like it. Maybe they can find and cultivate some decent d-league talent after they waive Bargnani.

    Is it me or does he look stoned every time he plays. :confused:

    I am not talking about just the way he plays, but the way he looks and acts on the court as well.

    Now it's fashionable for crappy teams to waive high priced players.
