Bargnani... For Ilyasova?

[ReubenJRD]

The #Raptors are still dangling Andrea Bargnani, with the team reportedly chasing #Bucks forward Ersan Ilyasova. bit.ly/WF4cES

Very interesting now that it's gaining some heat. Quite frankly, unless he's playing the power forward and no other position, and Derozan/Ross/JV/Lowry/Gay/Johnson aren't traded, I'm content with the deal.

Although, if any of the above players are included, no thank you.

a step up from bleacher report... lol

I like Ersan I would do a trade involving him

Ugh....Ilyasova is a big SF who doesn't fill a hole.

I want no part of this 1-year wonder.

think of the small ball possibilities

What about the majority of the regular lineup? We still wouldn't have a legit starting PF.

Rudy Gay is already the best player for the small ball lineups.

I'm with you on this one. Too many wings already, and even though he is capable of playing the 4, it's just not his regular position, and that's what we're looking to fill.

No thanks.

I'd keep Bargnani.

[CalgaryRapsFan]

No thanks. I'd rather keep Bargnani than trade for Ilyasova.

No thanks. I'd rather keep Bargnani than trade for Ilyasova.

this is one of those times were id have to agree with keeping bargs.. Boozer deal is another BIG NO!.

[planetmars]

Ilyasova is not a need since we have Gay. He can shoot which is great since he can spread the floor.. but he's not a banger and until JV really develops it doesn't really make sense.

I like his contract in that I think he's moveable (3 years @ $23.7M) if he doesn't fit. Everyone needs a shooter that can rebound. Because he's an upgrade over Bargnani I'd do it.

I wonder about a 3-way trade with Milwaukee & Utah, for Millsap? Would the Jazz have any interest in Ilyasova, assuming Milwaukee likes Bargnani?

Oooooooohhhhh. Calgary, you thinker, you!

Too bad we never hear major Millsap rumours...

Utah keep their inquiries closer to their chest than a newborn on his mommy's teet.

This is a good idea. The problem may be that if this was possible Milwaukee could try to deal directly with Utah 'cause they'd rather have Millsap than Bargnani. I don't thaink Milwaukee or any team like Bargnani. If there's validity to the rumour, I think they(Milwaukee) consider his contract a better one to have than Ilyasova's.

[thead]

there are only three places Bargnani fits. Perhaps we should only be looking at trades 3 way or otherwise that involve the Lakers, the Rockets and Denver

[omgsomuchpotential]

Would Kanter/Ilyasova beat JV/Kleiza in a 2x2 game?

[TRex]

When is the trade deadline anyway?
