Send Bargniani to the D-League

random_hero891 · Post #1 » by **random_hero891** » Wed Jan 16, 2008 3:22 am

I know people are probably going to flame me for this but just hear me out:

I think we should send Bargs to the D-league for 5-10 games to help him gain the confidence in his shot back, as well as learn to develop a post game with a team that can play him for 35+ minutes a game.

That being said I have confidence in Bargniani that he'll be able to become a great player and this thread is by no means an anti-Bargniani outlet

(also I do realize that I should have posted this a few hours before the game due to the bipolar syndrome of this forum)

yeah we honestly should, while we are at it send Graham there too. Both of the players are complete mess

Even though it may sound like a good idea you just can't do it because of morale and image issues when you take into account that he's a #1 pick.

I think we should trade Graham, he's ready to contribute he just doesn't have a role with this team.

Right now Bargs does deserve to go to the D-League. But it ain't happening.

It may hurt a bit to start, but I think his morale would be boosted once he started hitting his shots again, it seems to be a confidence issue at the moment. Also it would give him time to polish his post game which we've pretty much forced upon him this year. The kids been forced into a lot of changes and I think he just needs a short break from the grind of the NBA while he gets back into the swing of things.

I mentioned this long before. It would make Bargnani out to be a big time bust, but might actually help get some confidence and more minutes.

He would cry and go to the ER.

People around here forget that he had his own team to run in the Euros this past summer and played pretty poorly for most of the tournament. This isn't just a matter of finding him his own team on which he can be the focal point. We don't need him to be the focal point We need him to take better shots and learn to rebound.

He needs to work hard and earn his minutes up here.

I'd rather have people tease us about having a "bust" player playing in the d-league to come back and be able to consistently drop 17-7, which I think he's more than capable of doing this year, and I would imagine he'll be able to average 20+ next year once he gets his swagger back

Colangelo would never do that. Bargnani would be traded before being sent to the D-League. Bryan is a proud man, by sending Andrea down do the NBDL not only would he be admitting he made a huge mistake. But Andrea also loses value significantly.

It might just piss him off and make him play harder and with some intensity. Could light a fire in him, or it could break him even more mentally. The way Colangelo and Gheradini are babying him, its probably unlikely they do.

I personally don't think he's the type of guy that would have a fire lit in him. If something like that were to happen I don't think he would be pleased at all and probably want a trade elsewhere.

so who are we gonna get for him? Gerald Green? Patrick O Bryant? I suggest keep him and let him walk as a free agent (after next season). His time with the raps is completely done because guys like Delfino and Moon have stepped up and bridged that gap Graham used to bring.

it's not going to happen.

Bargs has good skills, but we wanted more from him. He can however move and take Kapono's position. Then we can trade Kapono for a guy like Pietrus.

you sir are a MORON!

Yeah, see. It hasn't just been one bad game now. Andrea has been playing horrible basketball for the whole year now.

Oh, and Joey isn't eligible to be sent to the D-League anyways. He's a 3 year player, only 1st and 2nd year players can be sent down.
