I think Phil needs to reassess the plan of bringing back many of the players. I get that he wanted continuity but these rascals aren't the cure.

I really think it's not about the guys coming back to all have major roles. Only Melo, Shved and Galloway are in my top 6 rotation. All these other guys are at the end of the rotation if any of them are brought back. Bargs likely at 7. Some of the kids are going to be still developing. Phil only needs to draft well and sign 2-3 key Free Agents in order to have a respectable top 6 rotation players. Role players look a lot better when you have at least 6 NBA caliber players in your rotation.

Still a rookie. He's made great progress in year one. Hopefully he can expand his game with more work. Not sure he's all that comfortable attacking the basket Not to mention the shot blocking he's facing in the NBA and this game in particular. Gotta work on how to score among the trees and draw fouls.

Nah, Bargs can get his 1 rebounding ass outta here, don't want to see him near this team unless all else failed and its for the bare minumum and he is the 15th man on this roster.

THIS^^^^^^^^
Bargnani is playing for his basketball life and showing anyone looking
that he is a worthless POS not worthy of a roster spot. Stop the bleeding and move on.

Not saying he can't improve; in fact, I bet next season that will change. I'm just highlighting something that he seriously needs to work on if he wants to become a more efficient guard. For instance, maybe when getting the handoff from the big man in the triangle, he goes all the way to the basket instead of those silly midrangers.

He's total garbage.

I want him to be good but he is really struggling. Tim Frazier would be a nice pick up if they want to fill the void left by Schved and Jose.

Nah he's looked better as the game has gone on. This is not a kid who is a finished product. I think he is fine for this stage of things. He's actually getting a bit more comfortable from what i've seen of him. Can't give up on a kid with such a short look. He is a bit of a project and needs more physical conditioning as well. He's only 22.
