I Know How to Fix The Raptors: Trade Andrea Bargnani

   I chose this photo because I think it perfectly fits the title to my article, which i will explain a little later. This is my second article On the raptors, the first one I wrote I said that Andrea was going to be a superstar and that he was slowly developing into the #1 draft pick we expected him to be. Well after a quarter of his 4th season I have changed my mind. When I look at this picture I see Andrea as he looked in his rookie season, confused and his head not in the game. He seems to lack the focus that many players need to be successful. I admit they're aren't many 7 footers with the skill set of Andrea's but that raptors just don't need his skill set anymore. We have Hedo Turkoglu who i believe is 6'10 and does the same things on the court that Andrea does. For me I feel like the raptors should of never drafted him in the first place. When we drafted him We already had an up and coming big man in Chris Bosh, He was suppose to be the cornerstone to our franchise, so why did we draft another player that plays the same position? If that Raptors would of Drafted Brandon Roy or Rudy Gay we would be in a completely different situation with two true superstars instead one. They're two reasons why the Raptors should trade Andrea Bargnani, First he has no concept of defence (well it seems like no one on the Raptors does), but he is is a 7 footer, he should average at least 8 rebounds per game, and block at least 2 shots, he is very athletic he just doesn't have the hustle or desire to do these things. The other reason why the raptors should trade Bargnani is because he has the most trade value and potential out of everyone on the raptors beside Chris Bosh. What they should try and get for him is a power forward or centre that plays like a power forward or centre i.e. Marcus camby, Chris Kaman, or Nene. I also heard Anthony Randolph of Golden State is free, he would be a great pick up. He isn't a centre but he would help out with the rebounding and his the same if not more potential then Bargnani.
