damn soap dodger
Cubster: You would have prefered Raja Bell over Barnes? I love my man Raja, but the dude is done, done, done. He blew out his legs running for our beloved Suns, and now there's nothing left. He isn't even a very rugged defender any more. He's just a mask, a shadow of what he used to be, getting paychecks on the memory of heroics from 5 years ago. His current contract is one he won't earn, and it'll be his last above-minimum payday.
Barnes is a player with a lower ceiling, but in 2010, he's in much better shape to contribute to a championship team. He's still a good defender, but he's taller, longer, more athletic, and can run the floor better. He can be a knucklehead at times, but he'll also get into the head of your enemy. Like Bell, he won't back down from anybody. He will help you bas s with your precious three-peat.
The only disadvantage of Barnes is that now you have two batsh*t players with him and Artest. If they start to hang out, uh-oh.
And that Blake signing was just shrewd. Almost unfair. I would be madder at my Suns for completely botching this offseason, except that the le is without doubt LA's to lose.
Landry=class Barnes=continuing the classless tradition of the lakers lol
preach on...go head I'll be quiet....![]()
Nothing new to see here, just Matt Barnes being the that he has always been.
I don't know who you are but I like the new and improved Ashy...bringing the goods... not holding backwe gonna need all hands on deck for this 3 peat it's gonna get nasty around here...
Players like Barnes and Bowen are the ones you hate when they are on other teams but you love them if they play for your team and help you win.
lol @ comparing matt barnes to bruce bowen
it honestly wouldnt surprise me if that order came straight from stern to bolster the next mj's resume...who guarded peja in the early 00s? who guarded manu? rip? pierce? durant? it sure wasnt kobe.

Landry got up, thought about smothering that and had to catch himself. No use in going to jail for beating up a woman.
Hey, Vulv, take heed Franch's wise advice.
tee, hee.
Absolutely nobody checks with the Faker girl. Her rival next to her is actualy laughing at her. This is what it's all about in Lalaland.
...........well that & 16 NBA World Championships.
That's because she did her best Manu Ginobili impression.
Lovely how every player (Lakers and Kings) is more concerned about acting tough than checken the girl.
Specially Landry, seriously he is almost pushing himself back up on the girl and instead of checking for her hes looking for Barnes....
Lame...
Good that he picked the Lakers for less money. He must be idiot or marginal player if gets frustrated for a rebound in a pre-season game. Bowen was smart, not "follow your instincts" type of person.
more of a vua impression
Indeed. Mandry is the only player in the league who can get elbowed in the mouth, get his teeth knocked out and still manage to make the one doing the elbowing look like a little girl who's having a bad day. Not the kind of guy you want to square up with.
Which begs the question:::how's come "Mandry" allowed Barnes to steal his cookie?
