    I would love to see Andrea Bargnani, Byron Mullens, & Michael Beasley playing together on the same team just for laughs.

    Living in Toronto I am "privileged" to see Bargnani night in and night out.

    People up here used to call Bosh soft all the time, but Bargnani is just something else altogether. He is a poor man's, poor man's Dino Gallinari.

    The only person who needs to be offloaded from the team faster than Andrea is Bryan Colangelo. My God.

    And while Bargnani is a huge joke, on the other end of the spectrum Jose Calderon is vastly underrated.

    Yeah the fact Colangelo hasn't been fired by the Raptors amazes me.

    From 1995 to 2003, he completely mismanaged the Suns sans several good draft picks with countless stupid trades and overpaid countless players. For whatever reason nearly a decade of ups by someone who only had a job due to nepotism got erased after 1 good off season (which only happened because of an Isiah Thomas bailout) where he signed Steve Nash and Quentin Richardson both significantly above their market value to complete a team that won 62 games, only for him to pull a classic Colangelo and dissect the team a year later after the 2005 off season. Even after how bad he's been in Toronto, the general NBA consensus is that Colangelo is a good GM.

    Bargnani's even worse than the complete busts like Tskitishvili and Morrison, since those guys never put up Bargnani's empty numbers to get big contract extensions. His contract isn't Amare bad, bud ouch, locked up through 2014-15.

    THIS

    And every September Colangelol tries to save his ass in press conferences :

    " This year we have added character, experience and toughness; those 3 attributes are exactly what we were looking for, considering we have a lot of young players "

    " We are very excited with those additions "



    Translation :

    " We suck and we'll keep sucking cuz I have acquired overpaid and overrated scrubs, so I'll try to hide that fact by using the words "character", "experience" and "toughness" ; it's like when you are being asked : what do you think of that girl? And if you answer : she is charming and smart, then .... then you know it means she is ing ugly "

    " oh and dont get me started on our Euro scout from Italy; I dont know why I still trust him; but every year, he convinces to draft soft Euros "

    What does Pau Gasol do besides grow older? Spurfans love to feign happiness about a possible trade, but they conveniently ignore the fact that PG is on the downside of his career, shoots about 40%, and consistently gets rejected by point guards. I'm convinced Steve Blake could handle him on the block right now. He's made his millions and won a couple rings...he simply doesnt give a anymore, and hasnt had the heart for the game since his fiancee broke up with him. Now he's really showing signs of age with injuries. His best days are miles behind him.

    AB is shooting an abysmal 39-40%, sucks on D (but Gasol's great, amirite?), and has been banged up as well. The difference is that he's 27 y/o and has lots of room for improvement. Take a player out of a listless environment like Toronto--where its so cold your shrinks back into your body--and put him in the best basketball city in the country and see if he doesnt improve. He also doesnt have to be the 1st or 2nd option right off the bat.

    But i'll act like every other sheep in this thread: "I hope the Lakers do that trade too!, it'll destroy their already-sub .500 team! derp derp derp"

    Like I said...lots of liars in this thread.

    ^ this...and Timvp is the foremost guy playing mind games with Spur fan...he knows Gasol is and he's doing everything he can to play into the false narrative that AB would be a downgrade to PG...If we land AB and Calderon it's over for the West

    Of course I do. Even with Howard there Gasol still pulls more rebounds than Bargnani has ever come close to. You talk about Bargnani like he's 22 or something. He's as good as he'll ever get, which is garbage. Gasol's old, but your team isn't built for the future with Bryant and Nash anyways. Much better chance Gasol shapes up and gets into last season's form than there is of Bargnani becoming a player he has never been.

    What does Pau Gasol do besides grow older?
    Hyperbolic question.

    Spurfans love to feign happiness about a possible trade
    Relevant examples? Personally, I wasn't happy about D-Ho trade or the Nash trade. Even in retrospect, even factoring in the Lakers slow start, those were still great trades.

    but they conveniently ignore the fact that PG is on the downside of his career
    Who ignores that? Despite his inevitable decline, which has be exacerbated due to playing out of position, he's still obviously talented. Besides, plenty of players on the downside of their careers have been part of a championship team.

    Which is fluke-ishly low and bound to improve.

    and consistently gets rejected by point guards
    Hyperbole.

    I'm convinced Steve Blake could handle him on the block right now.
    No you're not.

    he simply doesnt give a anymore
    Have you seen Bustnani play?

    Now he's really showing signs of age with injuries. His best days are miles behind him.
    He was really good as recently as last season.

    AB ... sucks on D (but Gasol's great, amirite?)
    Gasol is a much better defender than Bustnani. You, hopefully, know this.

    The difference is that he's 27 y/o and has lots of room for improvement.
    Bustnani hasn't shown any signs of improvement in a few years now. In fact, he's unquestionably getting worse.

    Take a player out of a listless environment like Toronto--where its so cold your shrinks back into your body--and put him in the best basketball city in the country and see if he doesnt improve.
    Fit Gasol properly in the offensive sets, which Coach Kobe and Coach D'Antoni both say will happen and is currently a work in progress, and he'll improve.

    Bustnani has to improve a lot just to reach Gasol's depressed current state. You'd rather bet on that then let Gasol figure out how to work next to D-Ho? Even now with Nash back? That is ............ interesting.

    But i'll act like every other sheep in this thread: "I hope the Lakers do that trade too!, it'll destroy their already-sub .500 team! derp derp derp"
    Is that really so much more enlightened then "derp derp Gasol sucks because his fiance left let's trade him for Bustnani who will undoubtedly improve drastically simply by coming to sunny California derp"? Maybe it is and I'm just not seeing it.

    Like I said...lots of liars in this thread.
    Lying about what, exactly? You think I just started scoffing Bustnani when I heard Laker Fan wanted him?
