Getting Barnes for Timma is awesome although I was told that we couldn't trade Ridnour for a player.

RE: Matt Barnes
Is the intention to keep him? What's the value add? As a shooter?
Unless they plan on moving him or waiving him for cap space, I don't like it. He's 35 and a locker room problem.

My understanding was you couldn't use him as part of a package. Who knows, it's like a rubic cube. Bottom line, turned Timma into Matt Barnes. How anybody could call that a bad move is beyond me...

Shooter, decent defender, good rebounder with not much salary to pickup. Would certainly be a good bench player. Tony can black his eye to keep him in line.
Stats:
2014-15
10.1 ppg, 4 rpg, 11.3 PER, 44.4% FG, 77.9% FT, 36.2% 3pt

Barnes is better than Timma, there's no question. I just think in the grand scheme of things, Barnes isn't a guy that gets the team over the hump.
The Grizz need a knock down shooter.

Griz drafted and dealt Barnes in 2002. Should now reacquire other draft picks they sent away: Kevin Love, Kyle Lowry, DeMarre Carroll . . .

RE: Matt Barnes
Not the greatest shooter but can knock down the open 3. Brings toughness off the bench that they seem to lack when Tony comes out.
I like this move.

Any time you can flip an old PG for a double-digit scorer who tells random fans to S his D, you must do it. Welcome to Memphis, Matt Barnes.

Green could be Zack's backup.
