Barnes considering Celts or Heat?

[DrReality]

This from the Orlando paper.

Matt Barnes, who started 56 games at small forward for the Magic last season, apparently has heavy interest from two of Orlando’s main East rivals: the Miami Heat and the Boston Celtics.

Those with knowledge of the situation say Barnes is strongly considering the Heat or the Celtics, among several other teams.

The Barnes’ camp still contends that the Magic have not offered him a contract and have moved on after signing free agent guard-forward Quentin Richardson.

The defensive-minded Celtics might make more sense. Boston is looking for back-up help behind small forward Paul Pierce and at power forward behind Kevin Garnett after the retirement of Rasheed Wallace.

The Heat are crowded at the small-foward and power-forward spots.

LeBron James will start at small forward, with Mike Miller coming off the bench. Chris Bosh will be the power forward, backed by Udonis Haslem.

LMFAO!!!!!! But, he would still be a nice addition. Id take him AND Shaq over Marvin any day. And, Heat already signed Miller, Big Z.....add Matt Barnes to the Three Headed Beast and its getting (already gotten) redic.

So he's looking at 9 teams in 8 NBA seasons now? I can never understand the love affair with Barnes, he's been so great that no team outside of the Warriors have bothered to keep him for more than a year. He opted out for money and now he's looking at teams that will offer him the same amount or less to be a bench rotation player and guys think he will be a savior here? The guy is nothing special, he is your typical average NBA journeyman.

I disagree. The guy definitely got game. There must be something foul in the locker room concerning him.
