One of the top to-do’s on new Raptors general manager Masai Ujiri’s lengthy list in Toronto will likely be to find a new home for Andrea Bargnani.
An enterprising fan posted an ad on the classified ads web site Kijiji Monday trying to lend him a hand.
The ad reads: “If you’re an NBA GM and I told you that you could get a 7-foot-tall former first overall draft pick who averaged 21 points per game two seasons ago for next to nothing, would you be interested? Of course you would! Andrea Bargnani has had seven illustrious seasons in Toronto but I need to give this franchise a fresh start and I want to give Andrea a good home so he can flourish and live up to his unlimited potential. I want what’s best for Andrea, so long as your offer works under the Collective Bargaining Agreement (and it doesn’t include Kendrick Perkins), we’ve got a deal! If you need to boost your offense – who doesn’t need more offense? – and you’re a General Manager for any of the other 29 NBA franchises, you know how to get a hold of me. Will throw in a do nothing President/ former GM for free.”
The ad has since disappeared which either means Bargnani has been dealt, or that it was flagged for being in the wrong section — maybe it should have been in the Swap/Trade section?
