"Andrea Bargnani -- the missing piece to our championship puzzle!" -- Said nobody ever.

There better be more to this. So f*cking sad.

And what is the great benefit? That we get the slightly taller, slightly better rebounding Novak for 2.5x the money?

If no picks are involved, it's ok, I guess. Maybe.

A league source has confirmed with me that a Andrea Bargnani for Steve Novak and Marcus Camby trade is being explored. Not sure about picks.

Well, **** you, Zwerling, find out soon. I won't be able to sleep with all this rage inside me.

We clear Novak's BS contract, and get a guy who complements Melo on offense. He's better than last year. But I wouldn't give a 1st rounder

The person that gave him that **** contract in the first place is the person who has to clear his contract now. We need a real gm in here who knows what he is doing.

Better to start making good moves now than never

The first rounder is a major dealbreaker for me.

He's never really played on a close to contending team, such as ours so maybe we could be looking at a breakout opportunity. A team full of veterans & a superstar can only be good for his mentality & focus.

This move could either go really bad or pretty good all depending on Bargnani's play.

I'd like the agree, but 99% of the NBA, players in the NBA are WYSIWYG

Also, as a fan of both the Raps and the Knicks, I think Bargnani could definitely use a change of scenery. There's less pressure on Bargnani on offence with Anthony around, and Chandler will mask Bargnani's defensive weaknesses. On paper it may look bad for the Knicks, but on the court, it might actually work out.

But again, let's see more details and let's see if it becomes official.

what..? bargnani sucks...simple as that. no matte where he goes, hes gonna suck. go back to your own forum

That's why we're getting Tony Allen. To balance out the pussiness

AfroThunder · Post #110 » by **AfroThunder** » Sun Jun 30, 2013 10:24 pm

Again, aren't we looking for a PG. maybe Lowry is involved in the trade, or is that not possible?

No KT (cooked and done)
No Rasheed (smoked and done)
No Camby (traded)
Martin (not a C, not guaranteed to resign)

So, Bargnani and Copeland will be the back up Centers?

BLUEPRINT!

Yep because the roster is finalized for the season..

As a individual trade I co-sign it however Knicks need to make adjustments to make this work. My guess is Tyson is gone for a PG. Tyreke and a Center from another team. Knicks had no flow last year. Thats why Novak didnt do anything past December.

I have no problem with this deal if its 2 second rounders, but please not a first.

god shammgod · Post #115 » by **god shammgod** » Sun Jun 30, 2013 10:25 pm

honestly in shock

NJ_YANKEE_45 · Post #116 » by **NJ_YANKEE_45** » Sun Jun 30, 2013 10:25 pm

If they didn't give up a first rounder for him, it would be a crap for crap trade. Wouldn't mind it but this is terrible.

dynamic duo · Post #117 » by **dynamic duo** » Sun Jun 30, 2013 10:25 pm

I think he will excel here.

Moochie25 · Post #118 » by **Moochie25** » Sun Jun 30, 2013 10:25 pm

would this clear cap space for cope, or are we too far over still?

Post #119 » by **darth_federer** » Sun Jun 30, 2013 10:25 pm

Bargnani always plays well in New York but man will he frustrate you. Woodson will get on him though so who knows. Right now this trade is a steal for us (especially if the picks are thrown in). But Bargnani easily has the ability to be an all star if he wants to be.

No-Man · Post #120 » by **No-Man** » Sun Jun 30, 2013 10:25 pm

We need to do something like this sadly

We're tied with this team, and this is the only chance we have.

It's a risk, but it's worthy.
