lol i agree good tats
did really good in the playoff series but seemed to greatly drop of fin performance
couldnt make a three this season
good at runnign the floor
and plays hardd
i could see why the suns would get him

baseball inbound passes and random flagrant fouls.

good get for the minimum though.

He had an awesome playoffs against Dallas and got a 3 mil K for it. He had a tough year last year. His Mom passed away. He wasn’t really the same player except occasionally. When he’s right though he’s a great energy player. He’s athletic and tough, former high school wide receiver. He plays with a lot of heart and i wish him the best. I think he’ll fit in with Suns, he plays with a lot of aggression which they kind of lacked last year. Your 06-07 squad was awesome and should have won it all. F the spurs

the dude is on and off

The only reason he got the minutes he got was because he was one of Nelly’s fav. The bottom line is, the guy didn’t do anything for us at all. i don’t remember him hitting a big shot or getting a key rebound at all. All I remember is him coming in at the end of the 2nd quarter to give a starter a breather, and even, in that, limited action he found a way to pick up a few fouls. His shot selection and lack of basketball IQ probably cost us a couple of games, but, I put that on the coach for putting him in there. All and all, I liked the player, and I think a lot of what he went through last year was due to the loss of his mom. I didn’t want us to resign, but, Im genuinely happy the guy got a job. It’s a low rish, high reward situation for the Suns he goes back to form.

he loved to flagrantly foul people

He drives the ladies crazy, so there will be more ladies at the games. Sucks for us though, no Alba, and a lot fewer female fans.

barnes will help the suns FOR SURE

Honest Opinion:

Barns did great in 07, because he knew his place and was able to fit in, his fall from grace this year was not his fault, it was Mr. Nellie‘s, he made him a CO Captain and it threw his game off, he tried to do more than what he was capable of doing, he thought he was a star=) that was all that was wrong with Mr.da Tatoo Barnes, if he can fall back into being a role player again he will have another outstanding year, you tell em I said so ;=

Forrest da Grump !

Ps, Another blunder by da Don =)

matt barnes was a really special player. you know he just tried to you know give the team everything he had you know and he definitely has one of the you know best personalities in the game you know. you know his three point shooting will be missed you know but hopefully randolph and you know hendrix will you know develop into you know players

at the quick full-court baseball inbounds pass off of a made basket. Too bad the Suns don’t run anymore.

I’m really happy for Barnes. I was afraid he might be out of the league. He will always have a special place in my heart for the 2007 season. GOOD LUCK BARNSEY BOY!!!!

i remember at most games i went to the fans yelled “sit down barnes!” cause he usually tried too much and turned the ball over…but true he had that inbounds pass to monta that initiated the one man fast break.

good luck in the valley of the Sun. Thanks for the run.

Barnes for the minimum, which is like $1.2M, is a steal. He is a solid backup at the SF and can even play some PF. Good rebounder, capable ball handler, and high energy! He pushes the ball up the court. The Suns will be very happy to have him.

This is one loss that hurts the most. With BD’s money we signed Maggette, Turiaf, and have $4M to grab a PG, so ultimately I’m ok with that. Pietrus leaving for $5M/yr is a joke, and Azubuike signing for $3M/year is way too much as well. Barnes is a better player than either of those two guys, so to bring him back for $1M is a no-brainer for me. Are we expecting Randolph to be ready-to-go backup SF? I just don’t see it. I would have loved to see a lineup of Ellis-Jackson-Maggette-Barnes-Turiaf in the game. The handling and passing would have been fun. But, no.

no one can do the full (or near full court) baseball pass better.

After signing him for $3.5 the previous year, you would think an offer of the veteran’s minimum would be easy. Somebody must have really soured on his game

have fun with Barnes.

The next time you get out on a break watch his one armed full court pass, it is tremendous.

And the next time a three point shooter has a ball behind the line you better hope he isn’t close, or it will be a foul. Everytime. He is without a doubt the worst closer outer in the league.

It all depends on his desire. If he is hungry, he is extremely valuable.

he doesnt try to do too much and his mind is in the game, he we will be an effective 6th man for the suns.

he choked last year.

and i was very disappointed in him after the very good playoff run

replace 6 ppg and 4 boards!?

This is outrageous!
