I think our roster is full now. If we want another player we have to wait until Fisikas contract is over.

Damn you're right. Even with Fazekas we're still short with only Powell and Williams in the front court. We might see Thornton play some PF until Thomas or Kaman comes back.

I've always liked Andre Barrett.
He's strikingly undersized, which tends to make him a defensive liability, but he is extremely coachable, highly committed and hard-working, and a very unselfish player. He has a great attitude on and off the court, and is a good locker room asset.
I believe that he's played in Chicago and Toronto in the past.
I hope he'll fit in well with the Clippers, and make a good contribution.

(I've just checked, and Barrett has played briefly for Orlando, Phoenix and Houston --- as well as Chicago and Toronto.)

i think Barrett is a good fit for the Clippers. Just give the kid some playing time!

barrett is probably our most solid option. i remember him showing some promise his rookie year with houston. i was starting to expect will conroy back but i like this move.

Good just what we need a light-skinned version of Brevin Knight.

barrett is like a very poor man's tony parker. fearless, gets to the basket, can penetrate & kick. barrett's size is similar to knight but their style on offense are very different from one another.
