Wow...what has he really even done for the team to earn that.

It's classic Bryan Colangelo:
the team is absolutely horrible, so we better overpay the out of the low level talent we have so we don't get even worse. That's what he did with the Suns when he was GM, which is why the Suns fans who think letting him go killed the team are re ed.
So they're building the team around him now I presume?
Bryan Colangelo doesn't know what the he's doing.
Sounds familiar.
hes hit some clutch shots, and he has been reppin' ITALIA hard. deal sounds good to me, put that money in the paisanos pocket
Other than one good off season (signing Nash and Quentin Richardson), Colangelo has done nothing special as a GM, he's been more or less a disaster. He's no better than Kerr. He oversaw the 1995-2005 period where the Suns weren't contenders, and Kerr is going to oversee the 2008-2018 period where the Suns aren't contenders. Either way it sucks to be a Suns fan.
That is a lot of money, but Bargnani played very well last season. He has some serious upside. Don't know if they had to go that far, but he is talented.
Not even close to being worth that much... wow I can't believe some teams
Did any of you actually follow him last year? He finally seemed to get it, on offense anyway, and put up big numbers from January onwards.
Is he worth 10mil a year? Probably not, but it's not a huge overpayment - I would have thought 8mil was about right. He's a very talented offensive player with 3pt range who can drive the ball and blocks a few shots from the weakside when motivated. Poor rebounder, poor post defender. However, if Gortat is good for the MLE, then Bargnani has to be good for 7-8mil.
Mehmet Okur is paid 9mil and they are pretty similar players, although Bargnani hasn't yet maxed out his potential. The Raptors are no doubt hoping he'll continue to improve, although I have a feeling that Bargnani might be one of those guys who slacks off now that he has a big contract.
He may be worth that much based on his potential and the fact that he seems have figured out how to play in the NBA. But he is still the worst rebounding big in the NBA. How can he be so bad at that?
Tiny hands. Tiny hands = a drop off in rebounding but better shooting.
Not much heart.
He is a truly terrible rebounder.
Most Raptor fans seem to be happy about it.
I think it is a fair deal. But I am a Bargs fan and watch him closely. If he continues to progress, 10M is a very good deal.
10 mil :O Honestly... MLE should be more than enoguh for him. His +/- stats are horrible if im right...
Bryan Colangelo continues to be a top five overrated person in basketball.
Odom is gonna be pissed if that scrub makes moremoney than him...
Hehehehe. I hope Buss does not enjoy paying 40 million in lux tax.
Not nearly enoughs to correctly convey my opinion
Yeah, he's a poor rebounder, and weaker than I'd like. But he's still a 24 year old 7footer who can also shoot the 3 (40%). In the last 50 games or so, he averaged nearly 19pts 6rbs 1.5blks 10M is not that far off the mark. And it was probably smart to extend him now rather than letting him continue to improve thus driving up his market value.
Not really, if he did not sign an extension, he would be a restricted free agent. Many teams do not touch restricted free agents like Ramon Sessions and the Raptors would get him back easily. Rather than risk him slacking next season.
Well to be fair he is much better than the one you guys have now.
I think he is trying to show Bosh that he wants to build a team that will stick together. Bosh, Andrea, and Hedo is a pretty nice threesome to start a game. Hedo will help make up for Andrea's weak rebounding. I gave Andrea as hard a time as anyone but he really improved last year once Sam was gone.
As the number one pick, he will make $6.5M this coming season and $8.5M would have been qualifying offer for 2010.
