- PxCxG, on 07/08/2009, -3/+17I know big men earn big salaries in the nba, but this seems like a lot for a 7 foot guy who only pulled down 5 boards in 31 minutes a game last season.
- david630, on 07/08/2009, -2/+11the guy just had a breakout year and hes only 23 good signing
- TheR3dMenace, on 07/08/2009, -1/+9This contract is going to look like a steal in a few years
- DonCurryOnly, on 07/08/2009, -0/+6Yeah it will. He showed some real improvement in his 3rd season and is probably going to get better. If he works on boxing out more often and grabbing some boards he's gonna be a force for the raps.
- kalleha, on 07/08/2009, -1/+6This is basically like Bynum's contract; based on potential.
Potential to be either a disaster or a steal in a few seasons. - bicyclethief, on 07/08/2009, -0/+4Not quite a Bargnani.
- ProjectGSX, on 07/08/2009, -3/+6This is a big time gamble. He may very well be worth every penny of this contract in a few years, but he sure as ***** isnt worth it right now.
- mgd4, on 07/08/2009, -3/+6Did you hear that? That was the sound of Raptor fans collectively saying "Ah for f*** sakes!"
- inactive, on 07/08/2009, -3/+6What??? Why??? Are the Raptors trying to be bad for a long time?
- rwbrinso, on 07/08/2009, -3/+6Mis-take.
- beachsouthpaw, on 07/08/2009, -3/+5Andrea Bargnani, meet Vernon Wells. Both of you have this amazing ability to perenially hamstring your entire team for years and years to come. Enjoy your future stay filled with suicidal and (understandably) pissed off fans, 3rd in the division finishes and a media market just waiting for you to "turn it around."
Now let's see your underperforming in action. - skersh, on 07/08/2009, -0/+2Good lord, you're going to make me start crying.
- inactive, on 07/08/2009, -0/+2not worth it at all....
- sek52, on 07/08/2009, -0/+2At least you're not Bills fans.
:'( - vsujohn2, on 07/08/2009, -1/+3Not quite a Bargain.
- kaiteng, on 07/09/2009, -0/+1He will be worth more than 10 mils a year. But please just don't get hurt in EuroBasket 2009.
- inactive, on 07/08/2009, -0/+1Well that what Bargnani calls it, but some would beg to differ
- inactive, on 07/08/2009, -2/+3Ha ha. Bargnani, Hedo, Calderon core is going to win things? I don't include Bosh because he'll be gone next year.
- beachsouthpaw, on 07/08/2009, -0/+1Yea the game, ya know, invented by a Canadian.
- Jerky1312, on 07/09/2009, -0/+1I think its a very good signing. He's 7-0 tall and can shoot the ball very well. That's not a combo you get very often. He's also only 23, he can bulk up and be better at boxing out and rebounding. The Raptors are going to be a good team next year.
- phyx726, on 07/08/2009, -2/+2And I thought our Maggette contract was bad in the bay area
- inactive, on 07/08/2009, -3/+3Olowokandi of the north.
- truebeliever83, on 07/08/2009, -4/+4This is a lot of money for a guy who most considered to be a bust until this season.
- TheAzureCord, on 07/08/2009, -1/+1I wish I could get paid $10 million a year to look awkward on the basketball court. Maybe he is being paid to sell female Raptor tickets.
- pidge, on 07/08/2009, -2/+2Who?
- TheR3dMenace, on 07/08/2009, -4/+3Toronto sports fans make me sick
- ennuisquared, on 07/08/2009, -2/+1The only team this guy dominated against was the Rockets, so basically he's the Texas A&M football of basketball: despite doing ***** all season he saves his best for Texas, or in this case, the Rockets.
- NorrisTwithman, on 07/09/2009, -1/+0If Bargnani gets $50 for 5 years, Roy and Aldridge deserve twice the max extension.
- daman24, on 07/25/2009, -1/+0Surprisingly good move by the raptors. Now move Bosh while he has trade value. Get a center so Bargnani can play his natural position as PF, and then possibly even live up to half the hype(The Next Dirk Nowitzi). Then stop overpaying for guys that can only shoot threes(Kapono). While your at it apologize to Vince Carter because lets face it he was the only good Raptor.
- rwitoff, on 07/08/2009, -3/+250 Million... Canadian?
- thectrain, on 07/08/2009, -2/+0I wish it was $50.... $50 million I mean.
- inactive, on 07/08/2009, -4/+1As a center though? Really? Maybe you can say Bosh leaves and he can be at the four, but the dude doesn't have the bulk or seemingly the desire to mix it up with the big boys.
- inactive, on 07/08/2009, -6/+3Wow! He's shown signs of being okay but this is the type of contact that winds up hurting teams down the road. Toronto now has about $100 million tied up in Hedo and Andrea, two relatively soft Euros who don't board. Enjoy.
- thectrain, on 07/08/2009, -6/+2For Andrea Bargnani. Because he just stole $50 from the rapters.
- fadetoone, on 07/08/2009, -6/+1They allow chicks in the NBA now?
- xtonypiercex, on 07/08/2009, -7/+1For the first female NBA star? Fine. For a noone with a girl's name - fail.
- Tyrghast, on 07/08/2009, -8/+2They play basketball in Canada?
