#Tradebargnani
This pretty little hash tag is starting to gain some momentum in the world of social media. Let's put our youthful hats to work here and make this thing a widespread plea of hysteria throughout the GTA and the NBA as a whole.
Today was a microcosm of this Schmuck's detrimental negative affect on our team. I also am in support of a #tradecalderon hashtag, however I think we need to prioritize here ladies & gentlemen. Let's get the 7 footer off the team and then we can start with the spaniard.
Something needs to be done. Action needs to be taken here. Ultimately there needs to be accountability in this organization. It absolutely is lacking of any sort of onus or responsibility on management, coaching staff and players.
Edit: It's trending in Toronto now - http://trendsmap.com/local/ca/toronto
If you are on Twitter - if anything, just retweet some random tweets with the above mentioned hashtag.

Re: #Tradebargnani
this just goes to show why raptor fans are the laughingstock of the league.
also adds to why people dont want to sign here...
shameful, really is, just shameful

So we should just accept that this guy is dragging the team down? Maybe you should create a keepbargnani4life hashtag.

Sorry, maybe I'm being daft, but can you clarify something with me?
What are you claiming is shameful? Because I'm really hoping your referring to Bargnani's record breaking historic shooting display this afternoon. In that case, absolutely, if not and you're referring to the fans trying to ignite some fire and actually create a change, then you truly are as you're avatar and signature suggest - a Joker.

Re: #Tradebargnani
Plz guys use all means, twitter, fb etc etc. Lets get the message across to Bc, because ultimately thats what really matters.
Also try to keep in mind not to expose him too much, if thats possible, because we dont want to depreciate any value thats left

Re: #Tradebargnani
He's still trending in Toronto, so the media must be aware..hopefully they put the idea of him being traded out there.

So Laker fans doing the same thing with a future hall-of-famer is going to lead to players not wanting to sign in L.A.? Good to know.

Also, worth a look at the RaptorsPR replying to the Bargnani situation..I'm sure some of you guys are tweeting them
Fan: Yeah Keep defending Andrea. I thought Casey wants accountability?
RaptorsPR: Played hard past 4 gms & avg'd 24.5 ppg.

Re: #Tradebargnani
Has nothing to do with bargnani as a person, as an athlete as a performer in todays game.
First off:
like anyone in a position to do anything is going to listen to a bunch of people on twitter to make a business decision. Might as well picket the game if you want to really make a difference. If you're going to do it, do it **** right. cost the organization money, of course then you run the risk of the raptors not being profitable in the current location but oh well, the guys will be moved.
Secondly:\
People seriously need to evalute what constitues being a fan, and the impact that has throughout the league. All this nonsense being put out there only make the fanbase, to an outside, look like a hostile place. jeez, even the nyk fans dont try to run players out of town, and show support as long as they are wearing jersey. Dont think for one second that players dont talk to others, they dont see this twatter crap etc. I for one want people to think the raps organization and fanbase is great, not so condescending and what have you done for me lately.

Honestly just trade him for an expiring contract. I'd be down for a Bargnani for JJ Hickson and Shawne Williams trade. POR needs bench scoring

they arent doing anything outside of message boards, with a few douches on twitter, and lal has a fantastic history, decades of excellence, and we have the vc era. Huge fn difference

Why would they take on $12 mil worth of salary for a bench player? I'll be surprised if we don't get a Wilson Chandler/Charlie Villanueva type contract back in return for Bargs.
is it possible to amnesty someone in the middle of the season?

Other fanbases do this to their players all the time. People were calling for Melo's head on twitter when Lin signed with HOU.
