    I'd be somewhat interested in Bargnani. Depending upon the price tag, of course. More or less, i'm curious what his value is.

    I wouldn't be interested in J.O'Neal even if he was bought out.

    To Barney fans: Told ya. JO isn't worth the trouble. I knew this was coming. No sane team will take him in a trade.

    As a native Houstonian working in Toronto for the past 6 months, I've never heard so much trash talking about Rockets players (past and present) -- the obvious (TMac), Rafer Alston, and even Hakeem...

    I think he was talking about some of the Rockets fans on this forum that seem to bash our own players relentlessly.

    That's his point, we seem to be talking crap about everybody.. even ourselves. I guess we are imploding because our team seems full of scottie pippens suddenly.

    The irony of this thread will be too much if we somehow have the misfortune to end up being the team trading for him.

    Obvious need to trade. Bargnani is more than capable of playing the 5 spot. Hes put up great number when given an opportunity to start. He gets lost when they make him come off the bench or start at the three.

    I think with some more seasoning, he'll be easily comparable to Okur.

    Bargnani has the skillset to easily surpass Okur but does he have the heart to improve himself to that level and does he have the fire to bring it every night. He has the offensive tools to be much better than Dirk. Too often when I watch the Barney's play Bargnani decides to take most of the game off.

    Would you trade McGrady for Bargnani (and O'neal's contract)?

    Please no. I'd take Shaq O'Neal before Jermaine.

    No way. Any team that takes JO is basically agreeing to tank this season and next season.
