Report: Raptors will try to trade Andrea Bargnani before July 1
Now that the Raptors have locked up the services of a superstar general manager on the rise, the next order of business for Masai Ujiri is to correct the mistakes that have been made under the previous regime.The biggest of those involves Andrea Bargnani, the former number one overall pick who still has two more years and more than $22 million remaining on his contract.It's no surprise, then,[url=http://www.suprashoessaless.com/]Supra Shoes Cheap[/url], that trying to rid the team of that burdensome commitment is at the very top of Ujiri's to-do list.From Marc Stein of ESPN.com:First order of biz for new Raps GM Masai Ujiri: Word is he'll shop Andrea Bargnani everywhere he can in hopes of moving him before July 1— Marc Stein (@ESPNSteinLine) June 1, 2013It would be difficult to see a willing trade partner lining up to take on what has become a terrible contract for two more seasons, and that's putting it mildly.Bargnani has been limited by an elbow injury in each of the last two seasons,[url=http://www.suprashoessaless.com/]Supra Shoes Sale[/url], and he was forced to miss the Raptors' final 19 games of the one that just concluded. He doesn't defend well, he's never been anywhere close to consistent as a rebounder despite his seven-foot frame, and his shooting numbers would be seen by most as barely being average.Stranger things have happened, and remember, Ujiri did get quite a bit of assets in return for Carmelo Anthony, even when he was dealing from a position of considerable weakness. But even if no one wants Bargnani and his contract at any price, the good news is that the Raptors may still waive him under the league's amnesty provision, thus giving Ujiri and the fan base in Toronto their highly coveted fresh start.
