Yeah I can't put my head around this one. Why for the Nets and why did Bargs pass up good money to hang around the NBA? Brook and Bargs are very similar guys in terms of being offense bigs that don't rebound. It doesn't really help offset what they get from Brook as much as just duplicate it. The best look for Bargs is next to a defensive big that can't score. Still he's a big that can bring offense so it's better than a lot of big who don't do much of anything well. Just gonna be weird to have him still in NY but not on the Knicks.

The Nets have agreed to sign Andrea Bargnani, Brooklyn GM Billy King announced (Twitter link). The big man will receive the veteran’s minimum with a player option in the second year of the deal, tweets Robert Windrem of NetsDaily.com, who cites a league source.

Bargnani has been linked to the Kings, but instead decided to take less money and join the Nets, ESPN.com’s Marc Stein reports (Twitter link). Sacramento pitched a two-year deal, Stein adds.

I think the idea is he will fill Teletovics role for less. Not a bad signing for the minimum.

This. The Knicks will rue the day that they didn't bring Bargs back for the vet's minimum. His game was coming around during the latter part of last season. Let's see if their smart enough to sign Shved before the Russian does.

That may be a bit strong. I like Bargs but I don't know if they felt it made as much sense to bring him back with KP in the fold. I think they probably wanted to let KP do his thing without the duplication of a more seasoned vet who does a lot of what he does. Plus was it clear that Bargs would accept only the Minimum? This seems like a sudden change on his part. I thought Bargs was looking for a bigger contract than that.

It may have been best for him to move on. There will be a lot less pressure in BK. I agree about him coming around. I was surprised he signed somewhere else for the minimum. Phil seems to really value character/work ethic. I always gave Bargs a pass because of injuries but maybe this was an issue.

I think he feels he still owes the Knicks, so he's going to bring his "talents" to Brooklyn.

We should be ahead of the Nets this year in the standings or we haven't done the job, barring some bad injury or internal problem with the team.

Not sure you want Bargs putting up 3s though...and wasn't that what Teletovic did?

When was the last time barg played a full season???? That dude is simply garbage. Who gives a darn about where he is now? Certainly not me. I am glad he is no longer a Knicks

Thank God Fisher is no longer our coach, now let's get Calderon out of here:)
