Just an aside. Why does anyone believe Andrea Bargnani holds any value whatsoever? Laker fans are actually pining after this guy.
He is truly a horrendous defender, and he doesn't make shots at a very good clip.
I saw him trying to guard a referee on a side pick and roll the other day.
Bargnani is a strange fella. He has the game to carry a team on offense, but fails to do that more than once or twice a month.
But I don't agree about him as a defender. He has his problems in the pick and roll, and you should never let him switch to a quick guard or wing, but he is actually very good in the post.
He might have outstayed his welcome in Toronto, and I guess it wouldn't surprise anyone if he was traded this season. I don't think that he could help the Lakers anymore than Pau can. Last season I actually wanted to see him in green, but I'm not so sure about that anymore. He would be a better starter than Bass, though.
