We need to make one thing clear here. Colangelo has a history of acquiring young players with high potential, not trading them away.

I think DeRozan can be placed in the same category as I placed Bargnani.

Here are the unknowns:
Bosh, Amir, Weems staying
Which PG will be traded
Here are the knowns:
Bargs, Hedo, Triano are not going anywhere
BC said this himself, so lets not waste the forum space by putting different scenarios in play because this is what it is.
Do i sound bitter?? hehehe Mah bad.
If Bosh stays, then expect another bad season. Because we wont have any money left to sign another All-star player. Trades? we dont have potential all star caliber players who can be trade baits. Expiring contracts? Maybe. But unless we find a team dysfunctional enough to accept our 4th tier players for their 2nd to 3rd tier players then well and good, but i doubt it.
Bargs, eventhough some of you might not admit it, has a lot of upside. He's a 7 footer who can slash, take the 3 and block shots. He may not rebound that much but at least he's good for 3-4 a night. That why Bosh thrives playing against him, but not so much the other way around. When Bargs floats around the 3 pt line, he pulls the opposing center away from the basket, and Bosh starts making his living. If you put Bargs alongside a dominant center, he could and the keyword is could, be better than Bosh. He can basically do whatever he wants. He can shoot the 3, slash, stop and pop. He'll run rings around the opposing PF. Even if you put an SF on him, it would take too much out of that SF to guard him. Why has Dirk been so successful? coz Dampier doesnt do anything but rebound and intimidate. That takes it off of Dirk. And he plays mostly on the perimeter so he can easily get the rebound on missed shots. But Bargs, he cant really do that coz Bosh is always on the perimeter.

Ah so true, but looks are in the eye of the beholder and what you may see as as an oft injured middle aged looking guy out there on the court, his opponents see as a defensive monster who will defend the basket like its his own personal property.Avatar: Riverboat Coffee House 134 Yorkville Ave. billboard of upcoming entertainers - Circa 1960s

On the other and everyone thought that McDyess and G. Hill's careers were done due to injuries.
Its amazing what the right doctors can accomplish today in extending and resurrecting athletes professional careers.Avatar: Riverboat Coffee House 134 Yorkville Ave. billboard of upcoming entertainers - Circa 1960s

SURE, YOU ARE SO DAMN SMART YOU ALL
bargs is our 2nd best player so yes all intelligent people would bench him
if bosh is gone he's our best player , so yes you clearly bench him so you confuse the opposing coach and have nobody that can create his own shot , or I'm wrong give jose and hedo the ball let them go 1 on 1 create mismatches and let them shoot those contested jumpers that brought so much success to this team .
he 's superman that picks up all the wingplayers who should be guarded by the wing players and pg and he should really no rotate toward the top of the paint so he never guards the penetration .
so when he switches and takes on the wing or the guard he is always in the correct position to block out .
this has clearly nothing to do with horrendous coaching , no system , constantly switching approaches , and our godlike defensive mastermind HAIL THE KING IVARONI .
