LA Clippers Signed Matt Barnes


As expected, the LA Clippers inked free agent forward Matt Barnes today (reportedly, it’s a one-year deal.) From the team website: “This marks Barnes’ second stint with the Clippers. After signing with Los Angeles as a free agent rookie in 2003-04, he averaged 4.5 points, 4.0 rebounds and 19.1 minutes in 38 games played that season. Barnes turned in his most productive NBA campaign with the Phoenix Suns during the 2008-09 season. In 77 games played (40 starts) with the Suns, Barnes averaged a career-high 10.2 points, 5.5 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 27.0 minutes per game. Aside from the Clippers, Lakers and Suns, Barnes has also played for the Sacramento Kings, New York Knicks, Philadelphia 76ers, Golden State Warriors and Orlando Magic over his career.”

    I’m not sure where he’ll find minutes, but it’s still a nice signing for a franchise that deserved to be considered “the worst in sports” just 12 months ago. What a turn around.

    And real talk: The Clippers will compete for the #1 seed out west. There are too many veteran leaders on that team and too much “cp + blake” for them to be held out of that discussion.

  • Well DAYUM

    I guess I didn’t realize just how much of a journeyman this dude was.

    Ha. I was going to jump down yr throught but I had a look at the roster and yr right. Odom, Turiaf and Butler. I liked Odom in Miami.. not so much since.. and Caron has come into his own since then. But why not? Clipps have the most stacked team aside from Miami or OKC. Question being, how will they all evolve together? Personally I tip them to do better than the other LA team.. can’t remember the name.
    Go Griffin and go LA CLIPPS

  • datkid

    you make a good point but i’m not sure i agree.. they still have to tangle w/ OKC,LA, and memphis

  • daBIZ

    “compete” is the primary word. They’ll definitely be in the conversation.
