Barnes to sign with raptors!

[JTB]

Barnes said it will be a suprise team in his tweets, didnt think we was getting him anyways but there was hope!

Matt Barnes has agreed to a two-year deal to join the Raptors.

The deal, which is scheduled to be finalized on Tuesday, will pay Barnes nearly $10 million over the next two seasons, according to sources close to the process.

A sign-and-trade will be necessary because Toronto recently spent the bulk of its $5.8 million mid-level exception to sign Linas Kleiza.

Not official yet and Hawks still have a shot. Orlando are prevented by salary-cap rules from doing a sign-and-trade for Barnes that will be higher than $2M due to Orlando not having his bird rights.

Many teams want a player like Matt Barnes because of his quickness and aggressiveness of his defense. And we all know that a lot of marquee players of raptors are sign in other team, so the addition of Matt Barnes will help to rebuild the team.
