Barnes to the Fakers?

"Unless Cleveland raises multi-year offer that starts around $3.5M, Matt Barnes will sign a 1-year, $1.7M deal with Lakers, sources tell Y!"

Another player who tried to fight Kobe; joins him.

I think Raja was too competitive and hated Kobe too much to join the Lakers. I’m sure he’d rather defend him and beat him than play alongside him. I like that, much better attitude than a certain chosen one that recently decided to join up with his rivals rather than find a way to beat them…

I have a lot of respect for Raja after that. I hate how Kobe tries to buy every player that stops him

what happened to

barnes going to toronto?

Fell through

Toronto didn’t want to offer him that much, I believe it was something like $10mil/2yrs, which is a bit steep, but Toronto is known for giving out horrid contracts (see: Turkoglu, Bargnani, Calderon)

Orlando wanted to work a sign-and-trade as well but didn't have the cap room to sign Barnes so TOR said no

It was more like

the league said no. There was no way they could work out that trade.

come join the warriors instead of going to the fakers

Goal: 8 seed!

Has anyone noticed that Kobe has been trying get LAL to sign all these "specialist"?

First it was Artest, then he tried for Bell, & now our good ol’ Matt Barnes. I hope that Matt plays them and goes somewhere else like MIA just to really upset Kobe haha. And if CP3 finds some way to LA w/o the Lakers giving up anybody significant I will really be peeved. But I have the feeling that if Paul leaves he’s going East to NYK for a big man, throw-ins, and a few draft picks!…Wouldn’t be surprised if AR is moved again!
