[rocwell]

Whats a bargnani?

It's like shooting an air ball ...except in the process of an attempted dunk....you go splat...hitting your chin on the parquet...and injuring your elbow...which you used to break your fall. A very complicated basket ball shot named after the famous Andrea Bargnani who is the only known professional NBA player to have successfully executed this fully. His reward: he was put on the disabled list.

Not exactly a surprise, but I'm told Andrea Bargnani has indeed informed Knicks he's opting in for next season just like Amare Stoudemire

How many Raptors fans would have to be talked off the ledge today had Masai not sent him to Madison Avenue?

One of the great conundrums, mysteries, paradoxes, ironies, inequities...........

On this day when big man Bargnani exercised his opt in for 14-15 @ $11 million, surefire hall of famer and 5 time champ big man Tim Duncan exercised his opt-in for $10.5 million.

I know the baseball & nhl pas' exercise that control (more so the mlb...because in part they have no cap). That is one large discount that Duncan is giving but he has made many millions already and he is obviously not playing for the money anymore but to have the team together.

yeah, the question was more about the general change in tactics of superstars taking less money to play for winners, not specifically tim duncan, or team up because they get the endorsement deals. but average joe greg stiemsma isn't getting that money back and they hurt his ability to negotiate. i would think the little guys would use some leverage with the players union.

to me the idea that some team has to pay eric bledsoe the max to lose while lebron, bosh, wade and melo can undercut the league rules to win is sickening.

So, will Bargnani land another job in the NBA when his contract is up?

[Apollo]

Of course. He's a seven footer with unique big man skills. Somebody will opt to sign him.

On NBATV, Phil Jackson says he expects Andrea Bargnani to succeed in the triangle & be a "surprise" (via @JamesDeckerWFUV)
