...is, I couldn't believe it when I saw it.... Michael Beasley!!!!
look at their stats for this season....
Andrea Bargnani Stats, News, Photos - Toronto Raptors - ESPN
Michael Beasley Stats, News, Photos - Minnesota Timberwolves - ESPN
They are almost identical. The only difference is Bargnani takes more threes, and Beasley shoots a better percentage taking his threes. Otherwise their statlines are identical.
The big difference here of course is that Beasley is 22, and locked up for 19mill over the next three seasons, while Bargnani is 25 and locked up for 50mill over the next five seasons.
Now of course these guys have different styles of games (I'm assuming, I haven't watched Beasley all that much). But if I ever get to ask Bryan Colangelo a question face to face it would be this: what is such a big difference between Michael Beasley and Andrea Bargnani, that one you would sign to a 5 year 50 million extension, while the other guy you wouldn't take in a trade FOR FREE for far less money. That is a gigantic difference in how you handle personnel for two guys that there really isn't that big of a difference between.
