I like this move, Pietrus and Barnes are about equal in level. This one may come cheap.

I feel like Kris Joseph doesn't have a future in Boston, he should get waived, Jamar Smith too.

Sign Birdman to add more depth.

Hm.  Well, either way, the roster spot is going to somebody who isn't likely to play much if at all.  I'd much rather use it on a player who has the chance of improving and maybe being a contributor for multiple years (i.e. 2-3).

I'd rather give Kris Joseph the nod over Barnes.
We need not to be let alone. We need to be really bothered once in a while. How long is it since you were really bothered? About something important, about something real?

I'd rather have Quis back. Barnes p---ed me off in the ECF in 2010. He tried constantly to get under KG's skin.

  Wouldn't you like to see him do that to James and Wade?

I don't care for Barnes. Would rather have Daniels back.

I know that Barnes isn't THAT good a player any more, but in the even of an injury to Pierce or Green I'd feel a lot better with him in the game than Kris Joseph.  He's a bigger small forward, too, so if any injury to Pierce/Green were to occur, you'd have the option of either going big at the SF (Barnes) or small (Courtney Lee).  I like that flexibility.

As to Barnes being an annoying ****...  well, so's the rest of our team.  Once he's on our side, who cares?  ;)

Not that way. He constantly tried to get KG out of the game with technical fouls. Remember when he shoved Garnett into Stan Van Gundy?

Besides, he wouldn't play much anyway, and he's not really a defensive stopper anymore (if he ever was in the first place). Pierce ripped him a new one in the ECF.

Matt Barnes would be a great signing for a third string SF.

I am kind of shocked he'd consider coming here though with Paul Pierce and Jeff Green already in place at his position. He should find himself a better home. Barnes should go somewhere where he can still play regular minutes.

He'll never find that place because he's not any good anymore.

I thought they were saving the BAE for a potential big.
