Using Kwame Brown as a counter-example is hardly sound logic... Dude got worse as his career progressed. Bargnani has at least shown a decent rate of improvement and still has the potential of living up to his #1 pick status. That was never the case for Brown.
Chill out dude. Hear another perspective. Um yeah. Ouch!!!!!1 Um, DeRozan does not play the 4, and never, ever will. I agree. I like hearing what other fans say. Not just us crazy ass Blazer fans! Yeah, I feel bad for him too. :smh:
Wrong, Kwame peaked during his 3rd season. Kwame's 3rd season PER = 15.7. Bargnani's 3rd season PER = 14.6. Bargnani is a better scorer, but Kwame was a better rebounder and better defender. Basically, after 3 seasons in the league, they had roughly equal productivity. I bet the Wizards are glad they didn't lock in Kwame at $50 million for 5 years based on his prgress through his first three seasons in the league. Of course, he declined after that 3rd season, but there is no guarantee Bargnani won't do the same. Besides, your original post had nothing to do with improvement or upside, you simply stated that Bargnani's contract wasn't outrageous based on where he was drafted regardless of productivity: BNM
If "Deron is Deron" (and, therefore, better than Brandon Roy)... then, Andrea... well, Andrea's a girl's name!
Your saying his name is a girls name, yet you are writing in lime green? Thanks by the way for blinding me.
Some quick "max" numbers for 2010. If it's going to be a 50.4M cap, then Roy's max is 5/75.6M starting with a 12.512 base. If it's at 53M cap, it's 5/79.5M with a 13.25 base
