He'll take up more of Bargs' minutes!

If he is signed to the minimum, he is excepted from the cap.

This doesn't mean Bargnani HAS to leave, although he could be the piece to land us that much needed scoring wing.

that would be cool. Rasho owns.

Hopefully this is true. But if the Pacers waive Rasho for some reason, I don't see him wanting to return to Toronto.

Wow, awesome news. I hope this is what really happens.

I doubt Bargs is going anywhere. That's just not Colangelo.

Even with Rasho back, Bargs will get plenty of minutes (20-30 per night, probably).

I don't see the Pacers waiving him... they have no centre other than Harrison and maybe Hibbert (assuming that is there pick at 17).

If Rasho is brought back that creates a log jam at the 5 and 4. I don't see him beating out O'neal or Rasho for minutes.

OH man, that would make me squeal in glee like a pig after a delicious breakfast

(cause I'm imagining what the next logical domino to fall would be)

Unless the raptors were to offer him a multi year deal it makes no sense for him

haha if this happens i would love it. and if you guys are worried about money, im pretty sure this means he signs for vet minimum.

Back up or no back up, I'd love to have him back, even if it's a reasonable contract and not as low as a vet's min.

that would be sweet...
all i have to say...it would really make this trade a lot better overall.

I'm more ecstatic at this rumour than the JO/Ford trade. :lol:

I love Rasho!
OT @ Shak23: great avatars think alike 8-)

I don't want him back. Too slow. Give the spot to a prospect.

With all due respect to the OP, this is homerish wishful think at its most homeristic. Rasho is worth WAAAAY more than the vet minimum, which is all BC can afford to pay him next year. If there's extra dough in the kitty after Jose's contract (BTW, doesn't Jose have a little bit more leverage today than yesterday), I don't want it going to our #4 big.

And if Hump survives the off-season (he better not be the throw in in the JO trade), I'd like to see him continue to get some minutes. We have to develop some young guys.

If Rasho comes back Bargnani winds up playing 15-20 minutes a night behind Bosh, and probably winds up going back to splitting time between the 4 / 5.
It's really Hump that would have to be worried (though his mystery contract could be included and sent to Indiana).
