In terms of having a winning franchise??.... Absolutely not...... In terms of the Andrew Wiggins chase... It most certainly enhances their chances
probably not, they will now play Amir Johnson big minutes, and he's a better player than Bargs. I won't be surprised if they make other moves to build a tank, though. Gay for Butler, Bledsoe and...

Those picks are very nice for TOR. I also like it for NY I guess, Bargs may play better with Carmelo being the alpha dog. He's never really had anybody good to play with in TOR. TOR > NY
If the trade goes through, it will benefit Knicks a lot. Knicks basically send 2 picks for it. Both Camby and Novak are useless. Camby is too old and Novak needs to be wild open to score.
Brooks Shumpert Melo Bargnani Chandler Felton Prigioni Smith Copeland Martin Meh. I feel sorry for tyson chandler, but at least he will have a lot of block opportunities.
Where's Amare? To give up all that for Bargnani, who will probably end up coming off the bench, assuming STAT is healthy, is ridiculous.
Too unfair to the rest of the NBA if they get AB (the midget) and AB (the euro who rebounds like a midget).
With that said, if the Raptors tank and manage to get the number one pick, Wiggins (canadian) representing/being the face of the franchise would be a great story.
