It appears Andrea Bargnani's days with the Toronto Raptors are over.

According to Howard Beck of the New York Times, the Raptors have come to terms on a trade that would send Bargnani to the New York Knicks in exchange for Marcus Camby, Steve Novak, a first round pick in 2016 and a future second round pick. The deal is reportedly done and awaiting league approval.

Bargnani has averaged 15.2 points and 4.8 rebounds per game during his seven NBA seasons. His current contract will pay him $22.25 million over the next two years.



THANK FUCKING GOD, GREAT TRADE TORONTO!  ;D

I think the rockets and smith met today. I'm kind of 50/50 on him playing here. He's a defensive stud, but offensively he can make some boneheaded plays. Pair that up with Dwight (not to mention how bad both of them are at free throws) that could be mayhem.

The departure of joe Johnson and Jamal Crawford from ATL may be the reason Smith takes such idiotic shots. Possibly feeling he's the only scoring option, which lets face it he is.

man I love offseason trades & acquisitions, keeps things interesting when there's no basketball to watch. Celtics send Paul Pierce , Jason Terry & Garnet to Brooklyn for Gerald Wallace, Kris Humphries, & multiple draft picks. Reports are saying that garnet will be waiving the current no-trade clause in his contract in order for the deal to work. wow!

http://www.nba.com/2013/news/06/27/celtics-trade-garnett-pierce-to-nets/index.html




Despite Garnett & Pierce's age I think their starting 5 is so sick. Let JJ & PP stretch the floor with williams dishing the ball between them & Garnet + Lopez down low. This team is definitely lacking depth, & who knows how long Garnet & Pierce will last, but if JASON KIDD can get them all to play cohesively they should at least be pretty fun to watch during the regular season. They definitely need some more bench players tho or else they're gonna run down the 2 celtics during the grind of the regular season & be left stranded with benchwarmers outside of their big 3 w/ Johnson, Williams, & Lopez.

Being a New England native, I wish the best for the Celtics in their restructuring efforts. It should be interesting to see the fate of Rondo during this shake-up; it wouldn't surprise me if the brass deals him out or he requests to be traded somewhere else. But then again, they may try to build around him if he's willing to dash his hopes of a ring over the next several seasons.

Clippers got fleeced. Turning Caron butler and Eric Bledsoe into Jared Dudley and JJ Reddick is not impressive.

It seems like they should have gotten more just for Bledsoe since he could probably be a future starter on any team that doesn't feature  Chris Paul. What other decent trading chips do they have aside from him?

Bledsoe was the best trade chip they had to offer. The next best thing they have to offer is deandre jordan and his terrible contract.

Caron I think was expendable on account of his health issues, but agreed on Bledsoe. Maybe bye bye billups? What about Kevin Martin getting 30mil lol

Caron was/is a c+/b- talent and the clippers over payed. As you mentioned major health concerns over the issue. Everything adds up to dumping Caron from a basketball and business standpoint. Bledsoe on the other hand is an issue for me all though as I type this I'm starting to warm up to this new clipper roster. They need a legit 2 gaurd, but what team in this league doesn't, who can play off the ball and with only a handful shooting specialists reddick was a good find. However, when you have a talent that has that has the potential to be a blue chipper you shouldn't deal for anything less. Then again I'm a dishwasher and not a league GM.

Kmart deal is god awful. Words can of describe how foolish Minnesota is. Has Kahn written all over it and he doesn't even work for the minny professional basketball team anymore. Worst deal of the summer guaranteed.

Iggy passing on 14 mil is crazy.

Clippers are the real winners in that trade. Bledsoe hasn't really proven anything yet and what the Clips desperately need is perimeter shooting to spread the floor around Paul and Griffin/DJ (if he doesn't get traded).

i thought it was a good trade. Id assume moving butler cleared some cap space & Reddick should be an excellent backup/6th man for paul. Dudely is solid too & will be great if they can get another SF to start while bringing him off the bench. Im sure Doc knows what he's doing. glad the suns got butler & bledsoe tho. they're gonna be my new hometown team so I'm glad they went from pure trash to slightly less trash.

yeah you right i forget their lineups. they need to get a couple lockdown perimeter defenders like tony allen or something to bring off the bench & to mix with other lineups. I wonder what're the chances they resign Odom and/or billups? they could use the cap space for a couple more young guys.

Me too. Between Houston, Dallas, & LA he could really end up anywhere. I have a feeling it might be Dallas just because Dwight's agent & Mark Cuban are close friends, and they might be tryna sell Dwight on signing with the Mavs & then snagging up Rondo somehow. Houston definitely does seem like a hand in glove fit tho given their system & coaching staff, so i couldnt blame him for wanting to go there either. However, I think if Dwight wants to prove to everyone he's "grown up" he'll stay with the Lakers...even if its just for that extra $30 million.

I think Houston is the best situation in the short term and long term (depending on what the Lakers would have done next year during free agency) but I truly think a man that cares that much about his image would want to be seen as a guy who changed teams 3 times in over a year. I still believe Houston is the most ideal landing spot in terms of purely basketball reasons.

The warriors can't afford jarret jack. He should be gone especially if that's where Dwight decides to land. Warriors making power moves but are heading dangerously close to the luxury and I don't think ownership is commited to being the red.

Pelicans making my favorite off season moves. Winning the off season so far especially if that draft pick they dealt Philly is unprotected.

Looks like warriors are trying to clear cap space to make it all happen though, dwight was just a screen!

I'd like to think media probably just jumped the gun on the Houston thing, but Howard is all over the fucken shop - this'll probably go on for the next week.
