The Regime Posted September 14, 2012 Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 Small forward Matt Barnes signed with the Los Angeles Clippers on Friday, the team announced in an e-mail Friday. While the Clippers did not disclose terms of the deal, USA TODAY Sports reported earlier Friday that it is a one-year deal, according to a person familiar with the deal. The person requested anonymity because he was not authorized to disclose terms of the contract. http://content.usatoday.com/communities/gameon/post/2012/09/14/clippers-sign-barnes/70000387/1#.UFO-GK7piSo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sħãlïq™ Posted September 15, 2012 Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 How the [expletive] are all these players gonna get minutes?Saw this on one other board - thought it provides a good answer to your question: CP3BillupsCaronBlakeDJ 6th man: Lamar for DJ7th man: Bledsoe for Billups8th man: GHill for Caron Finish 1st quarter with CP3, Bledsoe, Hill, Blake, Lamar 2nd quarter starts with: BledsoeCrawfordHillBlakeLamar 3 minutes in: CP3, Caron, Turiaf, and DJ come back. (Crawford remains) 5minutes rest and Blake comes in for Turiaf. Billups comes in for Crawford. That's 10 guys in the 1st half rotation Ideal distribution of minutes:PG: CP3 36mins Bledsoe 8mins Billups 4minsSG: Billups 20mins Bledsoe 10mins Crawford 18minsSF: Caron 20mins GHill 20mins Barnes 8minsPF: Blake 36mins Odom 10mins Turiaf 2minsC: DJ 26mins Odom 18mins Turiaf 4mins I'm playing 11 guys there and I hope he does something like that when we're healthy. It still leaves a very capable Willie Green with zero PT and Hollins in street clothes. CP3 and Blake: 36minsLamar: 28minsDJ: 26minsBillups: 24minsCaron and Hill: 20minsBled and Crawford: 18minsBarnes and Turiaf: spot duty Only our thoroughbreds play big minutes and this should keep the team relatively healthy throughout the year. ^ They've left out Willie Green, and the sophs (Tompkins and Leslie).. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sħãlïq™ Posted September 16, 2012 Report Share Posted September 16, 2012 A good read on Barnes: Matt Barnes goes from Blake Griffin's 'enemy' to a teammate http://www.latimes.com/media/photo/2012-09/72306758.jpg Clippers star Blake Griffin, left, and Matt Barnes, right, haven't been the best of friends on the court. How will Barnes' return to the Clippers affect their relationship?Chris Paul recruited Matt Barnes. Blake Griffin forgave him. And with that confluence of events, the former Lakers small forward officially became a Clipper on Friday, signing a one-year contract for the veteran’s minimum of about $1.2 million. Barnes was already in enemy territory a few weeks ago when he worked out with Paul at the Clippers’ training facility. “Chris Paul was talking about how tough we were going to be next year, assuming I was a Laker,” Barnes said in a telephone interview. “I told him I was a free agent and he said, ‘No, you’re about to be a Clipper.' " Barnes said the All-Star point guard pitched signing Barnes to Clippers management, though there was one potential hang-up: Barnes had shoved Griffin to the floor during a preseason game last December, earning a flagrant foul. So before agreeing to acquire the nine-year veteran, Barnes said, the Clippers checked with Griffin to receive his blessing. Barnes said he also spoke with Griffin on Thursday.Read More Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
