Andrea Bargnani (elbow) will reportedly miss at least three weeks.
Bargnani made the comments when speaking with La Gazzetta Dello Sport. Bargnani also called the Raptors the worst team in the NBA, so that should sit well with a fan base that already has grown tired of him. With Bargnani out indefinitely, Ed Davis should be owned in all leagues.

Andrea Bargnani: 'Everything has gone wrong right from the beginning of the season. We were built to win but we don't' ... 'We are way below all the expectations. None of us got the confidence for playing with the others' ... 'We won only four games. It is a tragedy. From every point of view it is a desperate situation' ... 'We have been losing for four years. In order to improve we need to win. But we haven't so far.' .. 'This is not the first time I am being criticized. But it doesn't affect me'

Andrea Bargnani: 'I hear the rumors. If it is meant to happen, it will happen. I am ready for anything'

Bargnani's interviewer, @dchinellato, told him that in LAL he would play with Howard, a dominant center which could be what Bargnani needs

To which Bargs replied

Quote:

Andrea Bargnani: 'I'm having my career and improving year-by-year. It's the team that needed a dominant center more than I do'

I miss spelled the in the title and don't know how to fix it.....

Amyways this is the first thing Bargs has got right all year. If we trade him I doubt we will be the worst team in the NBA for long

I don't get how trading him will improve you from "the worst team in the NBA" Allrim.

No ones going to give up much if anything meaningful to get him, so how are you going to be a better team? Ed Davis isn't a starter, that will be clear to you shortly.

I do agree he has to go though. You can't run your team off about your team and not expect to be shown the door.

AllRim · 12-14-2012, 03:33 PM

I'd gladly send him to Indy so you can see first hand how annoying he is to watch, and how is negativity brings down the rest of the team

AllRim · 12-14-2012, 03:34 PM

Whoever fixed the title thanks!!!

I'd take him if we didn't have West. Bargnani wouldn't be ok with coming off the bench, and West is a vocal leader on the floor and our leading scorer, so I don't want him coming off the bench either.

Not just the worst team, the worst overall franchise. We're the best at putting the silk hat on the pig, having a nice show, glitzy presentations and sets, but behind the scenes everything is held together with gum and rusty nails.

Still out of line for him to say it unless he actually intends to do something about it.

**Diable** · 12-14-2012, 09:39 PM

Hard to know exactly what he really said unless you speak Italian. Lots of times things get mistranslated and some times it seems like things mistranslated in such a way that it makes the best headline. I don't pay any attention to the Raps, but that team should be better just looking at the roster. Their talent is not that terrible.

**Porn Player** · 12-15-2012, 06:43 AM

He is correct, doesn't mean he should have said it.

**speedythief** · 12-15-2012, 09:47 AM

Apparently Bargs is furious with the Gazetta or w/e it is called and has blackballed them for the way the story was spun.

**Porn Player** · 12-15-2012, 09:49 AM

Bargs is furious huh?

**speedythief** · 12-15-2012, 09:51 AM

Hard to imagine what they printed was a complete fabrication. Also hard to imagine Bargs that fired up. It's been a while.

AllRim · 12-15-2012, 10:23 AM

I don't mind that he said that, he just better plan to do something about it, rather than playing like shit

**RollWithEm** · 12-15-2012, 10:28 AM

If the Lakers would agree to take back the horrible Landry Fields contract, I don't see why a Bargs/Fields for Pau trade wouldn't work for both teams. Pau would improve the Raptors in the short term and would obviously be a better leader than Bargnani. Also, his contract length being shorter means they could use him as a valuable expiring next year.

AllRim · 12-15-2012, 02:05 PM

Don't want to get better this year. We aren't making the playoffs, and our pick is top 3 protected so we need to tank. I would ideally move Bargs for and expiring and mid-late 1st.
