he played for you guys last year.. Do you think he is done, or could he help a contender?
how is his defense?
is he an effective spot shooter?
I know he lost a step but could he still get to the rim, or create offense?
He was ballin for Brazil, do you think he still has game

Bad defender.
Not really a good spot up shooter. He can still get to to rim with ease most of the time. I'm not sure how effective he'll be, because he wasn't too effective with us, but you could do much worse than him also.

Re: Leandro Barbosa
he played great for us when he first arrived, but twisted an ankle and was never the same. whether it was the injury or DWade, he just wasn't a factor in the playoffs and I wasn't impressed by what I saw of him in the Olympics. we've moved on.

Re: Leandro Barbosa
Playing with the other bench guys for us, he wasn't able to do much. We got our use out of him, as we only traded a 2nd round pick to get him, but he wasn't worth keeping. He seemed to try to do too much on offense, and "ball-hog" at times.

Re: Leandro Barbosa
I could see him helping a team like Denver, a team that's going to do nothing but run run run. Or a team like the Lakers, who could use a guy who's got long-term nba experience in their backcourt.

Re: Leandro Barbosa
He'd be a solid addition to any bench, just as long as you don't require him to have to "make things happen" for you. He seemed to struggle mightily with us when trying to make a play with our system.

Re: Leandro Barbosa
Leandro is good when he's hot, but usually that's rare - his defense is atrocious because he's small.

Re: Leandro Barbosa
Could've been a good fit for the Pacers, he just wasn't able to play too consistently to be relied upon every night to be the spark plug off the bench.
