Bargnani For Hawes Being Kicked Around?
Posted by Joseph Casciaro under Andrea Bargnani, Philadelphia 76ers, Trade rumours on Feb 16, 2013
As the plethora of Raptors-related trade rumours – most of which will likely include Andrea Bargnani – roll in leading up to Thursday’s trade deadline, I’ll try to post some quick thoughts and analysis on each one. So far this season when it comes to Bargnani, we’ve already talked about blockbuster deals like trading for Pau Gasol, Carlos Boozer and Pau Gasol again. Perhaps an indication of just how low Bargs’ trade value is right now though is the latest report.
On Friday, Fox Sports Ohio reported that according to sources, the Raptors have engaged the 76ers in Bargnani trade talks, with Sam Amico writing that “a Western Conference executive suspects it would involve center Spencer Hawes.”

Report: Raptors Target Ilyasova
Posted by Joseph Casciaro under Andrea Bargnani, Milwaukee Bucks on Feb 11, 2013
No, Casino Rama, imagining these two players switching jerseys is where my “excitement begins”
Everything Bargnani-related you hear over the next couple of weeks should probably be taken with a large grain of salt given that we’re closing in on the NBA’s trade deadline (February 21) and that Andrea will be one of the more talked about players in the media, but there’s this from Hoops World’s Steve Kyler on Monday afternoon:
“Raptors sources peg Milwaukee’s Ilyasova as a target; however, it’s unclear how that would work with Rudy Gay now in tow.”
Kyler writes about the Raptors’ interest in Ilyasova in a short writeup about how Toronto continues to look for ways to unload Andrea Bargnani’s contract, and also writes that Ilyasova could be a dark horse trade target for the Raptors and Nets should the two teams “swing and miss on other options.”
