Matt Barnes Signs With Suns

  Matt Barnes was on my fantasy team last year. He has a lot of talent. I'm not sure if he just wasn't focused or Golden State wasn't a good fit for him, but he was pretty inconsistent last season.

  Barnes didn't get enough minutes in Golden State, so it will be interesting to see how the Suns utilize him in Phoenix.  I would expect to see similar #'s for the first few weeks of the season until Porter figures out how to use him.
  

  I see this move as a precursor to Phoenix moving Barbosa or Raja Bell.  Barnes can defend, hit 3's and play solid all-around basketball.

... April, he has signed only two free agents.  Walsh brought in Chris Duhon, formerly of the Bulls, and also inked a young journeyman, Anthony Roberson.  Interestingly, these new additions are both point guards.  This just so happens to be the same position manned by the Stephon Marbury, who is set to earn $21.9 million next season, by far the highest salary on a team with the league’s highest payroll. So what message do these signings send to Mr. Marbury?  The writing is on the wall.” Jerry Brown of The East Valley Tribune : “The Suns put a shot of adrenaline into their team and ...

Suns Land Best Free Agent Named Matt Barnes
Published 7/22/2008 by Matt Moore at FanHouse
... Yes, that's right, the Suns have signed unrestricted free agent Matt Barnes, who you may remember from such hits as "that 2006-2007 season where he was good for about thirteen seconds" and ... um ... yeah. Barnes is long, reasonably athletic, and a great glue guy. He also was hardly used by the Warriors at all last season, despite their desperate need for a deeper rotation and his status as a team captain. ...
