A team that features Bargnani, Hedo, and Calderon! I can't wait to see!!!!!!!!!

No, but seriously, that team would get blown out by 30 points every night.

Don't ever disrespect Gasol like that.



Gasol led the Grizzlies to 50Ws and a playoff appearance....Bargnani is an airhead who will be lucky to lead his team to a better record then the Nets this season.



Prepare for the worst TO team in franchise history; yes even the ORIGINAL roster is better then this group of overpaid Euro softies.

If he were like Gasol, Toronto would be a contender.

NO ITS NOT!!!

If Cb leaves, its time to package/trade players like AB, Jose, Turk to get real stars in Toronto, a star guard would be nice.

Whether you like it or not the Raps best player might actually be Bargs next season and that is no way a compliment. Bottom 5 in the league is where we are headed.

Build around him? No.

Run the offense through him over Bosh? Maybe

Bosh has always been a ball stopper lacking creativity and vision to defer. I think Bosh and the entire offense would be better served having it run through Bargnani or Turk instead of giving it to Bosh with fifteen seconds left on the shot clock. All he does is stand there tappin his front foot for 10 seconds before hoisting a lazy jumper or driving into a triple team which wasnt there 15 seconds ago.

Not saying Bosh should get much less shots but i'd rather he not be the decision maker, he is to slow to react.

The Raptors start to need running some set plays for Bargnani.

Our best player next season is likely going to come via a trade, after BC goes apesh*t this summer, trying to find the right mix of players to make this all work. He won't have to cater to Chris Bosh anymore - he's going to trade for that player who compliments what they (Triano and BC) want to do. I think he might even trade DeRozan, who by the way had a tremendous game tonight, showing glimpses of his potential - to acquire that said player.

Am I the only one who can see this happening?

I love him but he's way, way too inconsistent. If he could adopt a lunch-pail mentality of just coming in and being the most efficient player on the court in terms of offense and defense, yeah I'd be up for it because his skillset is so unique. But until he shows that he is willing to come out every game and play as hard as he can, he'll just be a pretty good player most nights, a great player some nights and a crappy player other nights. And that's not good enough to build around.

How quickly did the OP forget the Atlanta game???? Bosh sticking the game winner???

No matter how much ppl hate Turkoglu... I think he would have helped the team tonight, and he DOES help in the final minutes of a close game... Its the other 36 minutes where Hudo has shown to be quite the bust........

Nice piece of work putting my out of context comment as your signature. I believe if memory serves me correctly you were hating bad on Euros or some such foolishness and I said I would rather have Spain than the bums on the Dream team that flamed in fine style. I was making a comparison but obviously it serves you to use that as an example of your narrow vision of who can actually play this sport. Bargs will be one element of a young core of 7 or 8 under 25 year old players. Start the hating.
