magicbalala245 Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 (edited) Unless Cleveland raises multi-year offer that starts around $3.5M, Matt Barnes will sign a 1-year, $1.7M deal with Lakers, sources tell Y!

*Swish* Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 Wow that sucks anyways, he would be good for the Lakers and make the bench much better. It's weird because Kobe and Barnes had a lot of fights and beef lol same as Kobe and Artest lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riot Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 1 year, 1.7 mil?? Couldn't we just resign him for that? That's really cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdog17k Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 1 year, 1.7 mil?? Couldn't we just resign him for that? That's really cheap. Haha, yeah we probably could have. Barnes is hoping Lakers win it again, he turned down 10 mil from the Raptors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xx. Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 All of Kobe's haters end up joining him, except for Bell.. But 1 year for 1.7 million, wow what a steal, huge for the Lakers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magicbalala245 Posted July 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 Source: Lakers requested Matt Barnes' med. files during Orlando Summer League; Shannon Brown unlikely to return to Lakers if Barnes signs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't turn Toronto down the S&T deal fell apart between Toronto and Orlando. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemon Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 (edited) 4 years younger than Bell and plays tough defense. Also a good hustle player that we've been missing since Ariza left. Cheap, good guard foward off the bench. Not a bad 3 pt shooter. Great pick up. Actually, if the source suggests that Barnes is going to shoot down a multi year offer for a one year offer, it looks like he's using the Lakers for leverage. It all depends on Cleveland.

Poe Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 Damn. Practice is going to be real rough between Barnes and Kobe. I guess that's a good thing. Kobe needs someone to push around to prepare for James/Wade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's weird because Kobe and Barnes had a lot of fights and beef lol same as Kobe and Artest lol a lot? ive only heard of one time when their tension rose and i think that was last season which i thought was blown way out of proportion. i dont think they ever had a fight either. maybe if kobe was still 20 or sumthin. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brand New Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 It's a done deal. Matt Barnes has agreed in principle on a two-year, $3.6 million deal with the Lakers, league sources tell Y! He's expected to sign tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Regime Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 Dope, I love the new deal, we got him for super cheap. Lakers front office once again proving why they are the best in the business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poe Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 Real Deal wants Kirk Hinrich, the Lakers get Steve Blake. Real Deal wants Raja Bell, the Lakers get Matt Barnes. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitro Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 Good signing for that price. He's a solid role player who's tough and is a decent defender. Not the best 3pt shooter in the world, but neither was Brown. Definitely gives the Lakers bench yet another boost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vitasoy Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 I've always like Matt Barnes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Artesticle Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 I prefer Barnes over Bell or McGrady anyways, so this was a good signing. Blake/LO/Barnes with Sasha in his contract year. Our bench actually looks somewhat decent heading into next season. Finally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YugoRocketsFan Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 Real Deal wants Kirk Hinrich, the Lakers get Steve Blake. Real Deal wants Raja Bell, the Lakers get Matt Barnes. LOL So in other words. He wants white guy, he gets white guy He wants kobe-hater, he gets Kobe hater. It'll be funny if he wanted Chris Paul and the Lakers got another superstar instead.
