Bargnani is a Knick

The deal is official.   Andrea Bargnani is a Knick, Novak and Camby, a 1 and two 2's are Toronto's.   I have no idea if this is an improvement.   Andrea rebounds and plays D like someone named Andrea would be expected to in a league of men.   He is a 7 footer who can shoot and hopefully pass, so he might be valuable for spreading the floor.  I really will have to see how this thing works...

Meanwhile, the Knicks are apparently meeting with JR Smith and asking him to stay.

I think Bargnani will at least be able to play with Melo and Chandler when the Knicks want to go big as he can ca contribute without clogging up the post.

I am luke-warm positive on this deal. Perhaps taking Bargnani away from the city that picked him #1, where he could not live up to the hype, and bringing him to NY, where he will be at best a #2 option, and maybe a #3 if JR stays, may help him reach his potential. Also, except for Rudy Gay last year, how many stars has Bargnani played with? Here he can "hide" in the crowd and try to blend in.

I understand that we had to sign and trade Quentin Richardson in this deal to make it work.
