Official Offseason Thread

Interesting signing. If he's healthy and off-court issues aren't a problem, then it's a decent pickup. He was a no show at the playoffs last year though. =P

To be fair though he did get hurt before the playoffs started which he never recovered from his body of work during the regular season was pretty good though. He has said he is healthy so I would suspect his level of play show go back up. Barnes is a energy/hustle player so if healthy he should be able to do the dirty work like a Reggie Evans in his own way.

I like the pick up. He may be a douche but there's plenty of vets to keep him in check, and Blake seems to be too mature and too much of a team leader to be overly distracted by any off court antics Barnes may bring. Just keep him away from Bledsoe and DJ


As to be expected, the thread on GB is full of Laker fans jumping on it saying its bad and he sucks etc, but I imagine the reaction would be different if he was re-signing...

barnes does have off court issues.. he was just arrested last month

Wasn't it due to an outstanding traffic warrant?

i thought it was a domestic battery?
