what an idiotic move
Well thats one less team the West has to worry about
Wow, why all the hate.......I like the move, gives Nash and Amare another athletic energy guy to work with and puts a savy vet on the bench to lead the second unit. Some of y'all need to calm the down.
Smart move. IMO this was penciled in the day Barnes signed. It makes sense. SUNS are gonna need some veteran leadership off the bench cuz Barbosa is NOT that guy.
GO SUNS BABY!
if barnes gets starters minutes this season, expect a payrise on his next contract...cant wait to see what dumb GMs is going to offer him...
I don't see how this is a bad move either.
They can run more with Barnes and coming off the bench hopefully will help Hill in April.
Barnes is a bigger threat from the wing so it allows the Suns to spread their offense more.
Of course, its all moot with Shaquille Oneal clogging up the lane.
The Suns should just cut his ass.
Barnes is a decent player who makes lots of dumb decisions. Decent defense, decent rebounding, decent scoring.
Not a good decision maker.
He will have to make less decisions playing with the first unit. I would believe the majority of the decision making in the second unit is going to be made by Diaw and Hill, taking some pressure of the rookie Dragic. As a suns fan it's good to feel we have a second unit with great potential in Grant Hill, Boris Diaw, Goran Dragic, Robin Lopez and Barbosa.
I also believe it is a good move to start Barnes.
Robin Lopez will be huge for the Suns.....
If he can keep his fouls in check.
Lopez not gonna be playing 30+ mins a night. They just need a solid 15-20 mins max from him and he should be able to provide that
Barnes is a worker bee. I don't really see anything special with the guy to warrant starter minutes. If anything this guy is a bench player.
Only way the Suns ever get passed spurs is if they start Jesus.
wait. . .
The suns matched up better with Spurs when they had Marion and Kurt Thomas. I don't know why in the they got shaq at this point in his career.
suns are trying to make sure hill is healthy for the playoffs
kind of like manu coming off the bench for spurs
The right thing to do. No way should Grant Hill average 30+ mpg during the regular season. And, as someone already mentioned, Barnes won't be making many decision playing with the first unit. He'll have to defend, hustle, run the court, finish, and shoot open jumpers.
Good move.
Ducks,
do you come up with this on your own?
I don't think the Spurs are going to be the main problem, I think it's the Lakers and Hornets that everyone is going to have to gun for this year. BTW did I ever mention I hate the Lakers more than the Spurs?
Barnes is a of epic proportion. I don't think it really matter who the Suns bring off their bench, because they're not going to do anyway. Still, Barnes is a .
LOL Barnes was good2 years ago last year ...not so much he seems more of a bench guy ...energy and hustle ....Hill and Barbosa together off the bench is two pass first facilitators ...so Barbosa shoud get to jack up shots ....
