I have hesitated to remind people of this simple little fact, but Bargnani is virtually untradeable because of his base year, poison pill status.
Of course, if anyone here ever read the salary cap FAQ, they'd know this.
So he will not be traded this season no matter what.
Got it now?
Actually, that's not true; because his PPP value in $10m against an actual salary of $6.5m, he can be moved with relative ease...PPP is a big problem when you're talking about guys on $3m deals getting max raises, but not so much in this case. Basically, any deal with ~$12m or more outgoing and incoming will work.
Heck, there are even lower numbers that can work if you hit the sweet spot...as an example, Biedrins for Bargnani + Weems works, or Bargnani + Wright, or a bunch of other combinations.
Edit: I hasn't read the other thread before posting this, where Trilogy used the exact same trade.
