    More of a reason to dislike him.

    not official yet i wouldnt say until cleveland totally pulls out their offer which i think they will.


    for all the love people give barnes here there is a reason why the guy keeps bouncing around from team to team

    Kobe seems to follow the 'keep your friends close, keep your enemies even closer' ideal. Good move for the Lakers. Also means that Tmac is less likely to sign there. Not to hate, but I don't want Tmac sniffing the 2nd round unless he's actually contributing.

    PDcavsinsider Sense I get is #Cavs offer for Barnes has been same for last week. Already offering most $, doesn't make sense to bid against themselves

    PDcavsinsider If Barnes doesn't want to play in CLE for the most money he's being offered, likely #Cavs will wish him luck and move on.

    1.7M seems a little low when taking into account how much other guys are getting paid...

    barnes is a steal if he is acquired for less than 7 mill a year.

    barnes moves well without the ball, defends, shoots the 3 really well, attack the basket and so many real 'intangibles'.

    Barnes>Battier and take it to the bank

    Barnes is a solid player, I wouldn't mind having him on the rockets for that much... I doubt Alexander Johnson stays on the roster, so barnes can take his spot. Plus come deadline... He's a solid piece for trade bait

    Kobe/Artest/Barnes as wing defenders? Heatproof.
