    Barnes would not be made available if he were that good, he was supposed to develop a lot more in his GSW days......but at least he did not become a journey man in his young days because that would be excruciating......

    Always surprised when I realize he's still in the league. He's been around for so long and was such an average player. Would seem a weird move given Eason is already a better version of Barnes.

    Barnes can shoot, but not anything else.

    Anything you'd give up for him would be better given up for a decent backup center instead. I don't see how acquiring Barnes moves the needle at all, so what's the point?

    Barnes hasn’t impressed me since GSW. I’d trade Jock and dipo but that’s it.

    He's solid, but doesn't move the needle that much. Who does he replace in the starting line-up? He's not going to come off the bench.

    No point whatsoever. He doesn't help us and is certainly not someone we need to give up assets for.

    Too many players play his position on this team that are younger, getting better, and need playing time. I'm also not sending Jalen Green to Sacramento for Barnes when we desperately nees a back up big.

    At this point Brogdon is the more versatile player who does not need 30+ minutes to produce.
