Zombie Would Toronto sweeten the deal if we took Bargnani for #10?

    Seems like he's tossing out ridiculous trade ideas to get my most hated players. Who's next, Antoine Walker?

    I interpreted the original question as: What would Toronto give us to take Bargnani and his contract off their hands, if we also sent back a no. 10 pick that many think isn't worth much. He went on to offer sending out players he doesn't much care for, and getting back Ross, Valcxyz, and Derosen. I don't think Bargnani was the defensive stopper in that random thought. :)

    My answer to the OP: Not enough. :)

    The 10th pick may not have a ton of value, but on the flip side, there isn't anyone on the entire Toronto roster outside of Valanciunas, worth the 10th pick alone, let alone the 10th pick AND taking back Bargnani and his ridiculous contract.

    Ok, Bargs has negative value, TOR needs to offer stuff to get rid of him, to get a #10 pick and capspace, if that was the "original" intent it's even worse than I thought

    Nobody on that team is a defensive stopper.

    So, he asks if we want to straddle our team and destroy our hope for a defensive presence by taking back Bargs. It's absolutely ludicrous.

    10th pick is great.

    Bulls got Noah with a #9. Spencer Hawes went #10.

    Asik was a 2nd rounder.

    I'v got a question about Noah for you Denny. A couple Sports writers, one on ESPN and another on Grantland, have brought up the possibility of the Bulls moving Noah to save money and open up more capspace to make a run at LBJ/Wade in 2014, do you see that as a possibility?

    If there's profit in it for the owner, they'll make the trade. But I don't see it at all. At $11.3M, he's a reasonable contract. They'd have to amnesty boozer and trade Noah for nothing to clear about $11.3M in cap space.

    The only negative about Noah is he misses a lot of games. He's had Plantar Fasciitis the two of the last three seasons.

    I would take Bargnani if the Blazers get Ross back and swap picks should the Raptors get a better pick.

    TORs pick goes to OKC this year and it can't be better than ours unless they get lucky and get in the top 3.

    Wow, just found this thread as a "similar thread" on another page.

    So @Mediocre Man wanted to trade the pick we got CJ with for Bargnani and filler? Yikes.

    Well of course. Bargnani wasn't "American born". He only hates white American born centers.

    I'm always relieved when someone bumps one of these zombie threads that I didn't post anything that makes me look like a total idiot. This one was easy. I was always a big hater of Bargnani's game. So, I knew I was safe, but trust me, I've been wrong, very wrong, on multiple occasions. Just not this time. Whew!!!

    There are certain players whose games I detest (rarely hate the player, just hate his game). Bargnani was always one of those players. So, this one was easy for me.

    I'd trade Meyers for Bargnani.
