boy he sure WAS a SOLID player. How many "solid" players do we need? Its time to focus on getting great players who can contribute in the long run. Idk who he once was what is Matt Barnes today?
Where will he fit? Are we getting rid of joseph to fit Barnes in? Id rather take my chance on a kid who has everything to prove than another old head who has already seen it all and just playing for the hell of it.
How is it that he "WAS" a solid player when someone just posted his stats from last season?
Seeing that he is known to be a good defender, I think he will fit in nicely with a DEFENSE FIRST team.
We need as many solid players as we can get because we don't have any
money to do better!!!!! I'm guessing you think it's easy to put together a team full of stars? How many times have injuries derailed this team... what, like every season since 08? Prepare for the unexpected (or this pattern the Cs have been in with injuries)! We already have two rookies to get up to speed... sure we can have more (hopefully the 15 spot will go to KJ or Xmas), but why not get guys you know what they bring to the table already?
If there were more solid players behind PP then we could stand pat (maybe we still will)... there is ONLY Jeff Green (maybe, but not ideally, Lee)!
So, you would rather have an unproven rookie be the last line if PP and/or Jeff go down, in the playoffs, than an experienced winner (not just a bench warmer who went along for the ride like that guy in SL that has two rings)? A second rounder at that?!!
Barnes may not be anything to brag about but he is PROVEN (with quite a few years under his belt), to be a good NBA player!
I like rookies a lot (at least the ones we pick), I hope they get a chance, but you have to pass on someone if you have a chance to get a solid player instead!
With all that said, if Kris is as good as you think he is (I like him, think he has potential), then he can earn that last spot because Barnes would only be our 14th player. If he doesn't beat Xmas, that's on him, not b/c we got Barnes!
This Barnes stuff is all speculation and pulling things together that may have nothing to do with each other (the tweet)... so this may all be moot...
I go wild over any player we have LOL... I was still holding out hope for 3J (I <3 Moore)... doesn't mean I wasn't hoping we got CLee instead! I'm still sad about Quackity being shipped out but it was for the good of the team (hopefully)!
