You didn't hear about him purportedly signing with the newly rebranded Ashley Madison Roma basketball team? The rumour was that everybody's favorite infidelity website was going to sponsor an Italian Div 1 basketball team, and as part of the deal, they'd sign Bargnani as their star player during the lockout.
Sound too good to be true? Apparently it was, as Bargnani has denied all of this via twitter. And now it sounds like the Pope might step in and block the whole Ashley Madison deal too (the basketball team plays right by the Vatican).

So, other than that juicy but untrue rumour, no, I've heard nothing about Bargnani's offseason. Did look pretty good in the euro tournament despite Italy sucking overall.
