I'm Italian and I really think that Andrea can be a great contributor for the Knicks, but I appreciate so much your so normal fan's approach : il Mago is a Knicks player and deserves his chances in NY.

Biased.

No, simply I spent 7 years reading hockey fans speaking about basketball. I started playing basketball when I was seven years old and finished my career when I was 36 in Italy. Some years assistant coach working with Messina. I never could understand why the NBA decided to create a team in a NO basketball culture country. Spain, Italy, Russia, Greece, Turkey, Argentina, Brazil, Croatia, Serbia, Slovenia, Lithuania are some real basketball countries, Canada does not deserve a team. Biased? No, for sure, simply realistic. Forza Mago the only PF spending 6 years playing in a team without centers and NBA level coaches.

In NY Bargs can be very useful even playing Center for short periods.

Don't forget Belinelli,he got traded from the Raptors and went on to better things.

Here are two fun commercials envolving the three of them

Gallo (I like him so much) is a different player. He is a SF who can play some minutes at PF. Andrea is a PF who can play some minutes Center. Playing together in the NT they were complementary. Andrea can stretch the floor and Gallo can play in the low post. The same perfect situation you can have with Carmelo.

Opinion of someone who likes the player is biased opinion, but opinion of someone who hates the player is 100% verified, scientifically researched and indisputable fact. RealGM wisdom... it's so spot on it's RealWisdom.

Woah... TKF sighting.... and not even a Bash Melo thread.

I wonder what number Barg will take since 7 isn't available....

300+ page thread and Bargs hasn't played a single minute yet for the Knicks, lol. This is an example of the kind of polarizing player that Bargs is.

One thing I will say to Knicks fans that I hope does not happen to your board is that Raptor game threads sooner or later evolved into Bargnani commentary about the merits or lack thereof of Bargnani.

Doubt it. We have a better players to bitch and complain about like Tyson and Melo.

Raptors (sorry for this) had only Andrea, an always bashed for his defence Calderon and an overrated Demar DeRozan, without having a coach and a real NBA roster. So in his worst season (for the injuries) Andrea became automatically the fans scapegoat.
Simply Knicks fans have a team with a true star, a top level center, a coach, a great 6th man, a former all star (Stat), complementary players and a sytem designed on both part of the floor, defence and offence. The situation is totally different.

Wrong. Belinelli is still doing the same thing, just getting more minutes.

Anyway, since Bargnani will be playing with Italy, you guys should hope he comes back in shape and hopefully not focusing on getting stronger. He plays his best ball when he's lighter and moving like a small forward. Check this video out. The year he decided to get thinner and went on to have his best start in the nba. He went on to get injured after the hot start and gained the weight back.

First off, i hope our board will get over it either Bargs pans out or fail... Some Raptors fans (the majority of our board) want to think Raps win the trade, but theyre afraid because Bargs value was higher when he played at a star level. Moreover, Andrea said Raps were the worst team, and that he would like to be traded... Hes coming to NY w a different atittude and thats very positive... And finally smth, while Knicks are trying to reach the Finals/win the championship; Raps are trying to make the playoffs...

be honest, have you ever seen a knicks trade that the majority didnt like at all?

i'm fine with that but at this point every possible angle has been covered and every opinion has been stated.

what's left to discuss? i think we should just wait and see what happens.

i can already picture it now though. after every game that bargs plays well all the people for the trade will rub it in and vice versa lol the post game threads should be epic.

I agree, I've said enough for myself, but I've left it like this and I'm sure many will agree......

I care most about what happens in the postseason, the regular season success doesnt necessarily carry over to the playoffs.

Fool me once....
