May 29, 2008 Andrea Bargnani had surgery on Wednesday to remove his adenoids and repair a deviated septum, according to TSN. He will be out of action for about two weeks before he is able to resume his workouts.
May 20, 2008 According to NJ.com, the Nets have made some cursory inquiries with Phoenix (about Boris Diaw and Leandro Barboso), more substantive discussions with Toronto (about Andrea Bargnani), and there has been some dialogue with Denver about Carmelo Anthony.
Though one Nets official claims that "other conversations have a much better chance of fruition," the Anthony scenario is the most interesting -- and hazardous.
April 30, 2008 The Raptors front office and coaching staff is hoping Andrea Bargnani can turn into more of a complete player this offseason. The 22-year-old big man and former first overall pick has been one-dimensionl (jump shot) during his first two years. "If he doesn't work, it's not going to happen," Chris Bosh tells the Toronto Sun. "Some nights, if he doesn't shoot the ball well, he's not a factor. He has to develop the mentality to get down low. Because he's seven-feet. Get down low, get some easy baskets, block some shots, get some rebounds -- be a force in the game even if you're not making shots."
