Bargnani and his agent have apparently brought up the possibility of being moved and Colangelo just said they've discussed and are exploring trading him.

So, he will be moved...if anyone else wants to take him.

Prince will be welcome cause he plays D and shoots 3's.
Already having one of the best defenses in the NBA then adding Prince instead of Gay will be nice, but Gay is such a dynamic athlete.

Gay will be missed.

This is Hollinger playing "Moneyball" and I love it, everything about it. Rudy has all the talent in the world but was a ballstopper in this system.

Gah, I was going to post the same exact thing. Well done.

I'm guessing it went a little something like, "No! Not this guy!"

This is exactly what went through my mind as well.

Calderon's interview about being traded: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ya8tBkwyQHE

Looks like he was about to cry!

GoRapz · 01-31-2013, 12:48 AM

I am willing to bet that Calderon is going to steal the starting spot from Knight. Very underrated PG around the league

Btw, Welcome Rudy Gay

Whoah10115 · 01-31-2013, 01:03 AM

I think this could turn out to be a terrific trade.

GoRapz · 01-31-2013, 01:10 AM

I honestly don't know why some Raps fans are so against this trade. Let it all play out people. Colangelo isn't done yet I would love to see what he could get for Bargnani. If we could snatch a legit PF from some team that would be sweet

A young legit PF someone like Ed Davis?

bdreason · 01-31-2013, 01:46 AM

Great move for my Warriors.

bdreason · 01-31-2013, 01:47 AM

From a fantasy perspective I got screwed. I have Ed Davis (worthless now) and Brandon Knight, who will surely lose the starting PG spot to Calderon.

oh and I also have Glen Davis, who broke his foot tonight.

bdreason · 01-31-2013, 01:49 AM

And I'm going to laugh my ass off if the Raps end up keeping Bargnani. Guy is total trash and the team was 10x's better with Davis starting.

bdreason · 01-31-2013, 01:53 AM

And one last thing, I thought the Raps weren't about spending? Why would they trade away a young, cheap PF with tons of potential for an overpaid SF who won't take your team anywhere?

Now that Raps have two overpaid SF's.
