    Charlie is supposedly on the block, but is a bad fit.

    Also, I loved how Joey Graham jumped in to stick up for Andrea. That was a sign that the team isn't completely gutless, and that Joey's confidence is building under Triano.

    Yeah I liked how Joey got right in there to back up Andrea, but to me it didnt seem Andrea needed any backing up, dude was jawing at Garcia the hole time and didnt back down one bit. Also after hearing all about how Andrea was ice cold because he scored really high on some test it was good to see him get angry.

    Scalabrine had one of the better results on that test, if I remember correctly. I don't really know anything about it, although I don't think it could've played that big of a role in BC's decision. He's not that stupid.

    I missed the actual altercation with Bargs and Garcia. Hopefully I can catch a replay somewhere. It doesn't surprise me though. Bargs stood up for himself against VC a while ago too and he's begun to play more physical.

    From what the announcers have said, Jose, Bosh and Bargs are untouchable and they will remain as starters, and you guys make the alercation a big deal, all that happend was garcia first fouled bargs then pushed him a lil (happens now in every game) Bargs went up to his face the height difference was funny lool, but it wasnt a big deal. Bargs missed the Tech free throw tho

    I honestly wouldn't take it. Right now I see two players from the '06 draft that are clearly better than him right now (Brandon Roy and Lamarcus Aldridge), and I consider Roy to be the only one that I don't think Bargnani can surpass during his career.

    It might be the Bargnani fan in my talking, but I just see him fulfilling all that potential we've seen for 3 seasons now. If he has another offseason of improvement like the one he had this summer, I think he'll be a definite keeper.

    I've been a Bargnani fan since his rookie year. I was convinced he would be a star in the league. Gay has all the talent in the world, and could still end of being the best player in the class, but his biggest problem is his attitude. From what I've seen lately, he's not a team guy.

    I`ll take Andrea, but Rudy is very nice. Seems what they said about this draft class is true. Andrea will probably be the best in the class but Roy was the most ready. Also with Gay, he`s up there with Andrea.

    Rudy needs a coach that will get his act straight. He's talented enough to be one of the primer guards in the league, but his immaturity can sometimes hold him back. When he plays well it's a pleasure to watch. When his jumpers aren't going in and the team is loosing he can sometimes just give up and play just to get his stats up. He handled the whole Iavaroni time horribly. His pouting literally made him look like a kindergartener. He loves Hollis according to what I've read. Hopefully this can help him.

    Mayo hasn't caused any problems since he's gotten here actually. Nothing has been said about him being to much of a me-me-me player. It seems like he's cleaned his act since his High School years.
