I know he is a meathead but should

[capstone21]

we take a flyer out on Matt Barnes as a SF? I would rather Delfino personally but he Barnes got released by the Lakers One year TPE?

I know he got released from jail for something to do with getting aggressive with a police officer, but did the Lakers also release him?

Yes the Lakers released him

[benhillboy]

Nope. He does nothing well.

[capstone21]

Never mind...i misread...you are right he was 'released' from jail

Good passer, defender, shooter, and rebounder for his postion. Not bad for the min or TPE. Edited July 31, 2012 by GameTime

After this morning, I refer to Matt as a Freed Agent.

I read that they won't be asking him to come back as he's a FA and hasn't drawn any interest around the league. Possibly because he's facing felony charges for the 2nd time?

It's ironic that we all wanted rid of Marvin and now we can't find a SF.

you act as if none of us never got released from jail for something to do with getting aggressive with a police officer

I'm sure that's never happened to you, Dirty Harry ;)

I guess we could give him a shot, but we went and got all of these shooters. We gotta fit 1or 2 in the Starting lineup.

I'll give you passer, defender, and rebounder. The better word would be he does nothing consistently. Poor man's Lamar Odom.

I was trying to tell people he's not going to be that easy to replace, but we got great value for him in return.

Ha! I wouldn't judge that effort too much considering we are collecting expiring assets right now rather than making a legit effort to sign players long-term. I do, however, remember the years we spent trying to find a small forward after Nique when we ran through Laphonzo Ellis, Ken Norman, Ty Corbin, Glenn Robinson, Henry James, and many others trying to find someone to fill the hole for more than a season.

I called this many times over the years but everyone thought a few corn dogs and a half-eaten can of sour cream and onion Pringles would be better than him

Pretty sure that was DrZach who thought that was better.

I don't think that Marvin will be that difficult to replace and I believe we'll find someone for 1/3rd his cost who will at least come close to matching his production.
