Matt Barnes reaches tentative deal with Lakers
Old foes, new teammates.
As usual, Adrian Wojnarowski broke the story.
Unless Cleveland raises multi-year offer that starts around $3.5M, Matt Barnes will sign a 1-year, $1.7M deal with Lakers, sources tell Y!
Damn it. I knew it though. The Lakers have a little bit of playing time to offer and can pay Barnes $600,000 more than the Celtics. LA made sense for him.
You have to admire Barnes for leaving money on the table when he’s never had a huge pay-day. But now that he’s on the Lakers, you also have to hate his guts.
On the plus side, at least I don’t have to keep writing about Matt freaking Barnes.

I hope he breaks a leg.
And I mean that literally, not in a “hey, break a leg buddy” way they say when you’re about to give a stage performance.

I’d rather see Bryant break both.
I’d love him to have a Shaun Livingston moment and his career be done, then LA can be saddled by the massive extension they just gave that prick! Then they can fall just short of the playoffs each year and be in the middle of the pack on draft day, never managing to get enough impact talent to be relavent for the next 20 years.
Then you’ll see what the C’s went through with Bias, Lewis, and the Pittino era! That’d be oh so sweet!

Wishing the Shaun Livingston injury on somehow has to be one of the worst things you can do. However, I can’t say I disagree.

FUCK ALL YOU BUTT-HURT CELTICS FANS. YOU’RE ALL JUST PISSED BECAUSE YOU GOT YOUR ASSES HANDED TO YOU BY THE LAKERS. HOW THE HELL DO YOU BLOW A 13-POINT LEAD IN THE 3RD QUARTER. PATHETIC TO SAY THE LEAST. HATE IS DERIVED FROM JEALOUSY WHICH ALL YOU NASTY-ASS CELTICS FANS ARE-JEALOUS. AND BTW, MOST OF YOU ARE BANDWAGON FANS ANYWAYS. I MEAN I REMEMBER A FEW YEARS BACK SEEING NO ONE IN THE STANDS AT BOSTON GAMES. THEN THEY GET A FEW PLAYERS AND EVERYONE IS A FAN. FUCK ALL YOU CELTICS FANS. I WOULD SAY SEE YOU IN THE FINALS, BUT EVERYONE EXPECTS YOUR ASSES TO GET SCRAPED ANYWAY WITH THE OTHER COMPETITION. YOU ARE ALL JUST A BIG JOKE!
Hot debate. What do you think?

Obviously, you no nothing about basketball! Without Perk getting hurt & a ridiculous 21-6 free throw disparity in the 4th quarter of game 7, we’d be the Champs! Make that 3 time champs, cause if KG didn’t get hurt in 2009, we’d have beaten Orlando & stomped your asses too!. By the way, are you a Crip or a Blood?

wow more excuses about perkins being the reason why the celtics lost. Ya and the knicknames you all use about the Lakers just make you sound stupid. And why exactly do they always sign every free agent who is over 37? What the hell are they trying to prove? They still cant win. I guess a team that used to have marbury and finley and then wallace just could not get it done. Quit with the excuses and just admit your team sucks dick.

There’s a book acknowledged as “Avoid Retirement And Stay Alive”. The thought is the reality that retirement has no location in current society. If you have the ability to make work pleasurable by balancing it against the other points you’d probably like to accomplish, then you definitely can easily reside like you’ve got all of the time within the globe.
