I don't see how we're nuts. Amir and Ed are young, room for improvement. We need to work with what we have, and management needs to do their part and get some good defensive big man coaches. Like Il Mago said, out perimeter D is shit on a stick. A good PG can change the game.
Amir & Ed are thin PFs... Dunno how that = problem solved in the middle. Even if Ed turns out to be better than Bosh we still need a C.
I'm high on Ed Davis but I think Amir is a 7th man at best. If he's a starting PF for any team, they'll never make the playoffs.
Than flip Il Mago...cause clearly none of us think he is the guy either. I would like to see a trade to Indiana for Roy, possibly Paul George - pipe dream Danny G.
He also screws up your future plans for an all star big. Trust me, the only players you pay 17+ mil a year are superstars. Granger isn't even an all star. If anything, I'd go after George on that team.
As much as I like Bargnani, I think we should trade him. However, i think this is very doubtful. Unless we get Dwight in return, the team still won't be good. Most fans like watching offense over defense. Without Bargs, this team will struggle to score the ball. The team is going to suck with or without him but at least they will put up points with him (most nights). BC is not going to leverage the financial prospects of this team in a losing season especially with his contract coming to an end. No matter how many stupid decisions he has made, he can always point to the fact that team was at least financially successful (see the Forbes rankings).
How do you convince Dwight to come to Toronto? "Hi, I know you live in Florida with that great weather, but listen, Cana......*CLICK*"
LOL Repped, so sad but true. The best thing I can hope for in a Bargs deal is a high pick and a young player with a high ceiling. A.k.a, Paul George and the Pacers first round pick (baring it still belongs to them). I say we also try and get Foster & A.J. Price for Jose; given the Pacers a 1-2 PG combo they may like. Fuck TJ Ford anyway. I still think if we can get another high pick; we can get a PG & a true C.
