What exactly do you expect Bargs to do?
Play better than two players who never played, and one-dimensional Novak.
That's it? So it's worth it to give up the picks in order to get a player more productive than Novak? That's the extent of your litmus test on this trade?

I like that he doesn't settle for jumpers, and drives to the rim. I like how he's good at drawing fouls (why does the opposing team foul him so readily? Also it contrasts how reluctant the refs are when calling fouls for Melo). His passing is something I didn't expect either.
The question was already answered. You just don't bother to read. We already have something better than what we gave away. I expect him to do more of that.
And I don't live in the world of draft picks that woulda shoulda coulda. If you do, great. Happy fantasy league to you.
So, I'm guessing you loved the Eddy Curry trade as he was more productive than Sweetney?
So I'm guessing you think Novak, Camby and QRich and invisible draft picks (since we obviously only draft well for other franchise) are going to be more productive than Bargs? And you base this on what?
Even sick injured Bargs is better than what we gave away, if we're going to talk about actual players, right?
I'm not saying anything of the sort. You're the one saying picks don't matter at all so it stands to reason that you must've liked the Eddy Curry trade. He certainly outperformed Sweetney so according to your analysis, we did well in that trade.
If you want, I could probably make your argument for you, but it's funnier to watch you trying to deflect.
