Otis George who never played, Brewer who never shoots, and the wrong place wrong time player in Barber just got waived.

Barnes could stick....pending another trade of course

I think he's definitely sticking. THe question now becomes whether he's an end of the bench guy or if he can crack the rotation at some point.

I would be disappointed if Barnes took minutes from Ariza, but it's nice to have him around. He can play.

barnes is a solid player, I think he proved that he belongs on the squad. He could develop into a Bruce Bowen Type.

Barnes fills a need. He's better than Penny because he's got good legs. He plays hard and has a decent shot. We are short on 2/3s with Q out. Q figured heavy in the rotation. Now there are minutes there. I dont think Penny sniffs floor time. He's just too slow. This team is at its best when guys are moving around. So far this preseason Penny/JJ/Mo T have just slowed guys down and its been a negative effect.

MO has had some good games and solid efforts, it is unfair to categorize him with those others, as tempting as it may be.

Mo may end up being a big part of our punch at the 4, he is the best scorer at the 4 right now.
