ZAZA Punked KG

Larry Brown sounded like an option but he going to another team.
If George Karl is back AI has to opt out??? How can Denver really keep Karl as a coach?? Seems like he has lost his passion to coach? He just sits there. I can’t see adding Artest as the answer and I will hate to hear the bs thug talk even more if he did come…those were some BS foul calls on Nene…actually quite a few questionable calls both ways…didn’t like refs changing calls or calling them real late either…

Thought it would be better in Denver. They played the ONLY team in the league they didn’t beat at all this year but to get swept and be the only 50 win team to ever get swept in round 1…

Where could AI go if he did opt out? Would like to see him get a legit chance at a championship…

It’s REAL painful being a Raptors fan. I’m a Warriors fan too, and I got the business this year from anyone I know who’s a fan of any other playoff team.

As for Bargnani, I was concerned the second his name popped up two years ago. I couldn’t believe the Raptors were going to spend a #1 pick on a guy who didn’t fill any of their needs. They had Charlie V, and he was a soft, outside shooter who could occasionally put the ball on the floor. As a GM, you HAVE to address the needs of your team, either through the draft or trades. Bargnani is a 4, plain and simple, and will never be a 5. He’s a poor-man’s Dirk minus the competitive spirit. I think this has to fall on Colangelo’s shoulders. He effed up that draft royally. When you’re building a franchise around Bosh, you don’t need to waste high draft picks on power forwards. They needed a wing player to complement Bosh, something he’s never had since VC left.

Colangelo needs to get some quality players on the Raps roster, cuz they look bad on paper and on the court, and that’s the GM’s fault, not the coach’s. I’ve always been worried that picking Bargnani would stunt the Raps’ development. Bosh needs a running mate for the franchise to have a chance, Bargnani ain’t it and never will be. He could turn into a decent player, but not an impact player, which is what a #1 pick is supposed to be.
