A source blamed the snag on a “miscalculation” in negotiations.

$9 million for Matt Barnes?  My guess is that miscalculation was a decimal place.

TP!

This is a kind way of saying that Barnes' agent doesn't know the finer points of the CBA. There's no way Orlando can sign and trade him for that kind of money, because they do not have his Bird Rights.

If he wants $4.5 mill a year, he has to get it from a team that still has the MLE or cap space.
