@ramonashelburne: @ESPNSteinLine believe Barnes took less so Clips could do this
Cool as hell on Matt's part.

Love it. If we could pick up a cheap big like Dalembert, Brand or Kaman we have had a solid summer.

so what is Barnes contract? That is a team player, the Clippers should throw in an extra year at 2 million as a thank you. Collison knows Barnes & Collison used to back up CP3, all we need now is a BIG!!

He's the name that I've been hearing about on Twitter, so it's good to see it happen. I expect Hollins and/or Odom back (Lakers have interest in him), but I'm really hoping for a solid big to come on the cheap.

Great signing.
Let's get a good cheap big now and we're set.
We don't need to go more than 9 deep.

Clippers, Darren Collison agree to two-year dealThe Clippers and free-agent point guard Darren Collison agreed on a two-year contract Saturday, according to NBA executives who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to publicly discuss the matter.
Collison will get the portion of the mid-level exception that the Clippers had left. His salary will be about $1.9 million for the 2013-14 season. He has an opt-out clause after his first season.
He can’t sign his contract until Wednesday, when the NBA lifts its moratorium.

If Collison is getting $1.9M this season, Barnes is getting about $3.25M. He sacrificed a couple hundred thousand to Collison. That's very classy on Matt's part.

Talk about coming full-circle.
Collison played with Chris in New Orleans.

Unbelievable pickup, especially for the price range. Didn't think Collison would come that cheap.
