Quick! Everyone overreact in many directions!

BTW, what is his opinion on?

Just Durant?

Durant and Kyrie?

I can see Kyrie talking himself into Brooklyn. He's a weirdo. I can't see KD and Kleiman talking themselves into BK when MSG is staring them in the face.

Celtics need a center?

There was a rumor that Rockets and Celtics were heavily involved in a deal

then they would essentially be out of the Kemba sweepstakes

Maybe Kemba could be persuaded to take less than the max on the Celtics if he knew he would be playing on a competitive playoff team?

A lot of team but maybe Dallas. A Capela/KP front line is pretty damn good.

It's an overpay but it's not exactly terrible. He fits with their roster. Gives them a guy who can get 15-20 a night on decent %'s and can guard decently well. I don't get the vitriol towards it. They don't really have a go-to scorer outside of Bagley and he's still so young. Barnes can help. They have their foundation pieces and he's a nice fit around them. It's too much money but that's FA for you.

They had a chance to swing big and you spend 20% of your cap on this mediocre dude who won't even close games for you.

You're better off using that cap for assets than locking it into that deal with that guy

They still have tons of cap space after signing Barnes and what big names are really going to go to Sacramento? They're clearly already too good to tank.... I like this as a way to maximize their current core while still leaving enough flexibility to do other things. They may never be championship contenders (a lot of that hinges on how good Fox and Bagley actually become anyway) but that was likely to be the case even if they didn't sign Barnes... Barnes helps as a stable presence and a guy with deep playoff experience. He'll help those young guys come along and now I can see them fighting for 4-6 seed next year with continued internal development and if they get Al Horford who knows what could happen with the Warriors out of the picture? This obsession with either having to tank/collect bad contracts for late 1sts or being a foregone conclusion title contender needs to leave basketball. It's just unrealistic for most teams and markets. Hinkie really got every bloggers priorities and thoughts on basketball crazily out of wack because of the unique situation he was thrown into.

And this isn't directed at you but people comparing this to the THJ situation are very wrong...Barnes has much more of a track record of being a good professional and good scorer than THJ did at the time of that deal. It's an overpay but I don't mind the rationale behind it. Unlike the Knicks who were hoping for a break out that didn't happen for them

he would have another year to get ready for big time if we got KD :lol:

and we aren't trading a draft pick for capela when we already have a cheaper capela who's a better rim protector

I mean that's fair but I could see KD wanting veterans around him. If they have a chance to get Capela for a protected pick I could see them pulling the trigger especially with next FA's class being what it is.
