[外電] Boozer <=> Bargnani??
http://0rz.tw/oKdqw
The Chicago Bulls and Toronto Raptors have engaged in exploratory trade
discussions on a deal that would swap the Bulls' Carlos Boozer for the
Raptors' Andrea Bargnani, according to sources familiar with the discussions.
Other players with smaller contracts would have to be added to the deal to
make the salary-cap math work should talks indeed progress to a more serious
level. But sources told ESPN.com on Thursday that both teams have given
consideration to the move.
From Chicago's perspective, sources said, Bargnani's arrival could help
address their glaring lack of 3-point shooting and brighten the overall look
of its payroll, given that the Italian forward makes $5 million less than
Boozer this season. Despite his well-chronicled defensive deficiencies,
Bargnani would figure to be an effective pick-and-roll partner for Derrick
Rose, once Rose makes his expected return from knee surgery after the
All-Star break.
The biggest impediment to such a trade, sources said, is believed to be
whether Toronto can realistically afford having both Rudy Gay and Boozer on
its payroll beyond this season.
The Raptors, fresh off acquiring Gay from Memphis last week, have been openly
shopping Bargnani, who resumed the most disappointing season of his career
Wednesday night after missing 26 games with an elbow injury.
Although Toronto's desire to upgrade its front line is an open secret -- as
confirmed by their long-running interest in trading for the Los Angeles
Lakers' Pau Gasol before Gasol's foot injury this week -- it's believed the
luxury-tax implications of trading for Boozer could ultimately dissuade the
Raptors from such a deal, even if Chicago proved willing.
Raptors president Bryan Colangelo told local reporters after the Gay trade
the team was prepared to stray into luxury-tax territory for the "right
transaction." It remains to be seen whether a deal for Boozer qualifies.
It's long been assumed around the league the Bulls might consider releasing
Boozer through the NBA's one-time amnesty provision at season's end. But
Boozer has tuned out such talk to be one of Chicago's most productive players
in 2013, rallying from a so-so start to average 19.5 points and 10.1 rebounds
in January.
The NBA's annual trade deadline is Feb. 21 and the Raptors are known to be
actively searching for a new home for Bargnani, who was selected with the No.
1 overall pick in the 2006 draft but has gradually fallen out of favor with
Raptors fans after Toronto's four consecutive seasons out of the playoffs.
Their list of potential trade partners is likely to be limited, however,
because Bargnani -- on top of his on-court struggles this season -- has two
years left on his contract after this one, valued at slightly more than $22
million total.
公牛和暴龍再討論Boozer和Bargnani對換的可能性
有可能嗎?? 覺得教練不會喜歡Bargnani，完全不會防守啊
還是說Gibson拉上來，Bargnani從板凳上來當高砲塔砍分
