I'm thinking you forgot the way he completely destroyed San Antonio that same year prior to OKC getting to the Finals. There's a reason why OKC finished games with Harden, Durant, and Westbrook and there's a reason why Barnes does not get that consistent treatment to finish games.

Same here, i always take Parsons over Barnes, but i'm just worried about that knee, the back issues, eh...
Golden State can match, but I can't imagine why they would. Barnes gives them nothing. Anybody they signed instead of him would almost automatically be an upgrade.

someone will still offer barnes the max and force GSW to use up cap space to match and/or be happy to get him. Charlotte makes sense...jordan/UNC connection.
Barnes is a midrange shooter that is forced to take 3s and even though he can make them every once in a while, he's more suited for a Rip Hamilton role.
Hamilton came off screens like Curry / Allen. Barnes is def on the Granger, Ron Mercer, Marvin Williams style. Basically average as ****.
Since i think you're a Warriors fan, what do you think they're going to do with him? Do you think they'll match a max as today?
How So? Beverley averaged a higher percentage on more 3's this season. Harden is better, Ariza is probably about the same. Volume plays a big part in percentages. Barnes hasn't had a 100+ 3's made per season yet, which is weird because the dude is on the freaking Warriors, he hits a high percentage but at a mediocre clip. Chances are if he's asked to shoot as many three's as our current starting SF, his percentages will drop off because he will have to take twice as many shots (which also likely will be more contested). Jason Terry made more 3's for Houston then Barnes has made in any sknigle season over his career. Ariza made x2 the amount, Harden made x3 the amount this season as well.
Although he probably lost money in this series, it wouldn't surprise me if he left his best game for last. That scares me since I want Cleveland to win.
Did someone make comparison between Rip and Harrison?? They are nothing alike... Rip goes thru a thousand screens and pulls up a J... He doesnt have a post game like Harrison.
