You got that right! How can he even suggest such a thing? Are they
putting strange things in the water?

And that would make him different from the rest of the team...how?

It's time to face facts: barring a trade of 6 or 7 people, the Raptors
are never going to be a defensive lockdown machine. We have maybe 2 or 3
people who are even passable defenders. Trying to fix that with one or
two moves in the offseason would be like trying to put a band aid on the
hull of the Titanic. Might as well go the other way and shore up
rebounding, and go nuts with scoring. Putting Bargs at the 3 would
actually help his post game, would minimize his damage to the boards,
and gives most teams headaches. He has all summer to work on whatever:
it's easier to learn body positioning to defend the slash on the
perimeter than it is to bulk up and learn how to control a bigger,
stronger body.

Actually, you have. What, we got nothing for Bosh? I wouldn't keep Rasho
either.

Who would you trade in for Bosh?

What's your ideal team? You mentioned "lockdown defense" in another
post. I can think of just 2-3 teams in the league with this ability,
and none of them pulled off a sweep in the first round of the
playoffs.

Bosh for Marion?

I'm almost afraid to ask, but Marion? MARION?! Why? Because of his
amazing winning attitude? Because he'd rather play for the worst team
in the league and get recognition, than play in the playoffs and have
a shot at a championship?

Please think about this again, and tell me who you would REALLY trade
Bosh for.

Yeah, I did. Wasn't that the game where they wiped the floor with us?

What would I trade for Bosh? excellent question. Ideally, I'd do Bosh
and Rasho for Marion, Miami's pick and filler. Miami gets a scorer to
play behind Wade and an expiring. We get a young stud and a proven
multi-facet player who has never been given the chance to lead a team.
It won't happen though.

There was no game where they wiped the floor with us. It was the game
where we lost the first quarter so badly that even winning the last 3
were no good.

The entire thread can be summed up thus:

Bargnani played badly. He was started at the 3 in game 1, a position he
had not played all year, and asked to guard a player who has more
playoff experience than anyone on either team. He never recovered. His
rebounding was invisible, his shooting was mostly poor, and he looked lost.

BUT he is not the star of the team, he is young, and he was played in
weird ways. To pin the loss on him would be unreasonable.

Even when he started to shoot well, e.g hit 2 shots in a row, he would
not see the ball again for a while, giving him no chance to establish a
rhythm. This complaint is one I've had about the team all year, so I
should not be surprised. Point is, though, that when he started to
catch, he wasn't given the chance to see how on fire he was. Delfino is
a major reason for that, but Ford needs to shoulder a lot of that blame too.
