Good signing. Not a lot of proven wing depth there + Luke Walton's lingering injury concerns.

Nice to pickup a decent veteran. I think Barnes will do well in the Triangle offense too. Good cutter, decent shooter.

Great. The Lakers have had a fantastic offseason while we have taken a step back. Very disappointing.

Dang that really stinks, not only does he not come to boston but he goes to another contender for the minimum.  With the contracts being handed out so far this offseason i have to think this is the steal of the summer so far.

Decent signing by the Lakers but I am somewhat glad that he is not available because I am not a huge fan of his game.

I am somewhat surprised that with his age and the impending lockout that he didn't go for the money.  It isn't like he is going to play so much in the triangle that he will earn himself a bigger payday next offseason.

He is saying $1.7 million, which I think is the rest of their MLE, not the minimum.  But he also said in his last tweet that this is only if Cleveland doesn't up their offer.  In other words, it sounds like this was leaked by his agent to put pressure on the Cavs, and is nowhere near a done deal.

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!

The least the Lakers could do it overpay him Richard Jefferson style.  That kind of sucks they get a fairly useful player for nothing.

Thats lame dude. All the Lakers need is a defensive stopper off the bench  ::) Oye.

Even thought Im not the biggest Barnes fan I would have loved to have him at the back up three slot.
