Matt Barnes should sign with us

Matt Barnes would be an awesome pick up. He can shoot the 3, defend decently, rebound decently, he has a great baseball pass, and he is one of the toughest guys you can find. He would be great with KG.

He has supposedly narrowed down to Cleveland and Atlanta

Don't let Barnes sign with Cleveland, he is quite a good player.

I am a Cavs fan and really do not know if this move would help us. We need much more help in front court. But the guy did average 10ppg and 5rpg. Not too bad......he can sign with you guys as long as he does not go to Orlando

I've wanted him since last summer when he was a FA. I was sick last year when he signed w/PHOE for 1.2M$. I couldn't believe we didn't try to get him for that price.

I would love him for us. However, I think we are in the minority on this board.
Paul Pierce said it best about Caron Butler and the AS 2007 Game:

"Caron Butler should send me flowers for being injured so he could make the All-Star game, because if I was healthy, he wouldn’t be in there.”

You don't want Matt Barnes unless it's for a million bucks a year:
The real reason i came here....
J-Rich + Pavlovic (1.5 mil buyout) for Ray Allen? I believe Pavs can't be traded until Aug 23rd though... Whatcha think?

I think ud find a stack of people who will say yes (if it matches up)....personally...no from me...I know J-rich is younger...can shoot...but Ray is HOF stuff....he is dagger in th efinal seconds...and he scares the pants off teams with his shooting...with Wallace...he will get more open looks now too

After watching some of the Bulls playoffs games I have a new respect for Ray Allen. That guy was simply phenomenal. Still not sure why he gets a lot ribbing on this board.....probably because I do not watch him every night

I'm not DA...but I think he walks if he wants...stays if he wants....if we win a chip next this season....he gets what ever he wants (provided its reaonable)....but this from a very bias ray ray fan

Matt Barnes is a last resort for Danny Ainge. He skipped on him last summer remember? And in the last year Barnes did nothing to impress
