However, it is a city that prides itself in blue collar ethics -- the whole "Big Smoke" thing for example. You may consider it a Maple Leaf city, not a hockey city but most "hockey cities" pride the hockey work ethic in other sports (see Detroit, Philly).
What Toronto really is, is an amalgamation of cultural communities that have thrived due to their ingenuity with a corporate mask. Its a bit of a leap (okay a massive leap) but its not the diversity of those communities that unifies them, but the hard work to make them successful that makes Toronto what it is. Hence my stance for a blue-collar team. (Sorry for using the word hence)
I think Toronto really likes hustling, blue collar type players but that's the case with every city. Even L.A.
I do think that Colangelo attempted to give the team a bit of an identity, and did when he first came. That team that won 47 games was a team made up of European and American players and sensibilities. I think a GM needs to be more focused on creating a team that can win rather than trying to create an identity that matches the city.Read my blog, The Picket Fence.

One of the worst starting centers in the history of the NBA. Maybe he was talking about General Motors, and Andrea being a good salesperson.
I think Arsenalist should clarify if he meant NBA GMs.. otherwise I'm not sure I can take Eric Smith seriously ever again.
So I would imagine that 29 GMs would trade for Bargs if the Raps also included first round picks, cap relief, a serviceable player and took on a bad salary or two. (hmmm... sounds like the JO to Miami deal doesn't it?). And if I'm the coach of that team, I'd make Bargs the first big off the bench.

I bet you he started with cousins on his back on the other side of the rim, but got pushed all the way under it. THAT IS NOT EVEN ALLOWED IN BASKETBALL!!! If someone is pushing you off your spot, all you got to do is let him (and flail your arms a bit so the refs see) and it's a FOUL!
Thats why I say Bargs problem is not lack of toughness (he was probably struggling with cousins, trying to push back) but LOW BBAL IQ.

a) He was never a top 10 center.
b) It's far too early in a season to judge a player.
Everyone is jumping on Bargnani now because he's not playing well. The same thing happens when every Raptor plays poorly for a few games.
Bargnani is not as bad as he has appeared lately, but not as good as some thought he'd be. If he has a big game against Philadelphia a number of people will come on this thread and say "yes, he is."
Let's get some perspective here.Read my blog, The Picket Fence. Guaranteed to make you think or your money back!
