"It looked like Barnes was heading to Miami, but it now looks like teams with money are getting involved. Barnes has never really gotten the big contract he's been looking for, and while we doubt it's coming now, he should be able to find a solid contract with a good team."

Well at least he's not going to Miami and most likely LA.

too bad cause i really think he could be the perfect fit to backup Pierce this year, but that's the way it goes I suppose.

perfect fit here...can be a compliment at 2 and 3 and the pesky perimeter defender we really need....he's never had security...worth overpaying for

Come one Cleveland.  Really overpay him for a couple of years so we don't have to hear about him anymore.

I hope he goes overseas, he’s really not that good at all.

I’d like for his name to just go away.

he has got to be a headcase behind the scenes. I mean based on his production it makes no sense that he's had to settle for 1 year minimum contracts for the past 2 years. His production in Phoenix warranted him getting a multi year contract but no team seemed to be interested. We as fans look at him as a very good role player, but maybe there's a reason he hasn't been able to hang on to a team or even get a decent contract. Danny Ainge was not interested in him for the past 2 years and maybe there's a reason.

didn't this guy say he was making his decision on Thursday?   Now his camp is silent?  Seems odd, either somethings in the works or no one is offering him any long term deals.  This guy IMO showed enough ability that you would think Orlando would offer him something, but that their just letting him bounce is somewhat concerning to me.

It sounds like they will, and he might take.

So you're saying the C's are going to get him?  That's the only way these annual Barnes threads will end.
