    Ok one....Matt Bares Played PF most of the time for Nellie....He is not a ball handler by any means.....is a very poor shooter.....look at his stats....and is a ghost defender......he also is about 220lbs.....and he would get killed by all the above players mentioned. George is a very good defender....and at 240lbs 6-8 can defend face up 4s......Bowen did a great job in 2007.....but he cannot defend post player...and has slowed down.....and if your remember from just this past years Playoffs.....Diaw killed bowen......he even struggled with Dirk.....and has no chance against D west .......If the spurs put Ian on D west....for long stretches of time he will foul out in 15 mins......he is a post defender......if he goes to cover guys 20ft from the rim he will get beat and they will be on the free throw line all night.....We drafted Gist with this in mind.......he and D George are similar players.....but DG can play now and is much stronger and can shoot the three
    Well, he's a better ball-handler than George. Also Barnes is a great shooter. Please work on your english, your posts are hard to read.

    The Spurs liked Barnes a few years back. As most of you know, they brought him for workouts a couple times. I just don't know if they have lost interest since then. If it comes down to someone like Devean George, I'd just rather the Spurs keep someone young and raw instead.
    Barnes is terrible. Hope for George if they have a choice.

    I've always thought Barnes would fit into the Spurs very well.

    i feel all kinds of dumb after reading some of the "agent's" observations in this thread. not only does he not watch basketball, it's apparent he has no idea about b-ball strategy. amare would be horrendous at the SF spot.
    You are a fool! Amare can play 3-4 he can shoot it to 20ft puts the ball on the floor to attack the rim....and can post smaller defenders.....A guy who scores anywhere inside 20ft at a rate of 1 pt for every 1.5 mins played is awsome.....Most teams who have Amare at small forward the same way Miami will use Beasley........he just happened to play for a coach who likes very small ball.

    spurman20, quit with the ing ellipses. If you have a seperate thought, use ONE period, and start a new sentence. otherwise, just use a comma.

    So according to the Agent Handbook, Amare plays small forward?

    Niether Udoka nor Mason can play the 4 in any instance...Barnes can. And George won't give the team the offense you see them possibly lacking, he isn't all that good at moving the ball because he is a spot up shooter/put-back player who occasionally gets some easy drive to the basket when he keeps his feet moving.

    If guys like Hill and Mason, and possibly a SF like Barnes, can provide relief while 2 of the big 3 rest so the burden doesn't fall on Manu I think the team is in very good shape.
    I think Barnes is a better fit for the motion offense which we'll need at times. Sounds like he's better at the D than Barry.

    Of course Barnes is a bad shooter....he played in Nellie's run and chuck system....With Chip and Pop having a more structured system, I believe Barnes will be a lot more efficient shooting the ball. He will get more set shots that is for sure, thanks to Duncan, Manu, and Parker.
    As will Mason, who jumped to nearly 40% last year. Udoka should do better with a yr under his belt as well. We're getting younger, yes. But other than Mahinmi and the rookies, the youth has several years of NBA experience. If we're healthy into and thru the playoffs, I expect that 5th

    well, you told me. i bow before your basketball prowess. silly me thinking that amare would not be successful as a small forward. i mean, he should be top of mind when i think small forward instead of guys like p. pierce, melo, lebron, etc.

    I will take a 6-8 240lb george at the 4 than a 6-6 maybe...220lb barnes any day......George played 4 for several year in La and this year with Dallas.....He is not a post player......and yes I dont think he is a scorer......only in the demented world of DON NELSON is Barnes a PF just like he tried to make Dirk a SG at first when he was drafted....Just like he made Jefferson a C......And 2yrs ago Steve Jackson a PF.........And Barnes only avg 6ppg......so I dont see the diff.
    Seriously, have you ever watched Matt Barnes play? If you had you would know half the stuff you are spouting off is wrong. Barnes is a flat out better player than George and that’s not saying much. George is an over the hill player who didn’t have much game to start with. Here are some facts for you:

    07-08 FG%: Barnes 42.3% > George 35.7%

    Athleticism: Barnes >>>>> George. Barnes has a 40.5” vertical and could have played 2 professional sports.

    Versatility: Barnes >>> George. Barnes has played 1-4. Yeah I know its Nellie’s system, but that is still impressive.

    Defense: Barnes > George. What I like about Barnes defense is that he will straight up lay a mofo out and won’t apologize about it.

    Toughness: Barnes >>>>> George. Barnes was a football prospect and has tattoos. George is a stereotypical NBA player that cries anytime someone comes within a foot of his “personal” space.

    Size: Barnes 6’7” 226lb = George 6’8” 235lb. Barnes is supposedly up to 235 now so not much of a difference.

    I could go on and on, but if you don’t get it by now, you aren’t going to get it.

    Barnes. He's almost as good as Jaxs. Good fit for our 3 position.

    Fools.........Why do you think Pops isnt after Barnes.....nor is anyone else. I have stood beside matt barnes while at UCLA he may be 6-6 in shoes......whoever told you he can play pg is full of .......look at DG AND BARNES on the floor and tell me George is not at least 20lbs bigger. All this FG% crap you speak of is just that crap. 42% for someone on a fast break team is terrible. And if you think he can defend anyone in the NBA you have been playn to much NBA live.
