Alot of things that been done by this team night come back to haunt us, but this isn't one of them, I wouldn't worry to much about it.

I love Barnes to death. He plays the way I like the game played and I list him as on of my favorite players out there since his UCLA days.

But,

Woods still has the potential tag on him. Barnes seemed like a different player in ny. I dunno if it was Larry or what. Still woods can do things that Barnes simply can't. We gotta go with qdog!

Barne is a nice player but really did not get the job done here. Funny, once in a diff uni they become desirable again. Human nature.

I hope QDog can fit in quick and make Malik expendable. I am ok with Malik's game and his leadership gig, but Reezy-QDog-Lee could be a nice trio at the SF.

I'd like Reezy to put more in the Boxscore.

Barnes couldn't haunt his highschool team. We have nothing to worry about

You're joking right? I could understand that kind of comment for someone with upside like Sweetney, but with Barnes I really hope it was just a joke.

I had completely forgetten about Penny. As much as I hated him last year in a bigger role he really is our best SF option right now. Wayyyy better than Malik. He can handle the ball and shoots better than him which isn't all that hard to do since Malik is shooting 35% and Penny has played much better defense. He's taller and has much quicker hands. This type of role is perfect for Penny to settle in and finish his career(well somewhere else lol) I really really really hope he gets the starting job unless QDog really impresses someday

Barnes can help a team established with an identity. We don't have one right now so we need to experiment on deals like Woods' so we can get a break somewhere. Barnes started the season in the starting lineup and lately was just another player on the Inactive List so there was something that Larry saw he didn't like and cut him loose. No matter if Barnes is good as a backup SF for them, it seems he had no future with Brown...

http://www.nypost.com/sports/knicks/58620.htm

this is one miami heat talent evaluater said regarding zeke's decision to cut barnes and sign woods.

"Based strictly on skill, this is a no-brainer," opinioned an NBA talent questor on the Knicks' acquisition. "Nevertheless, it appears to be a desperation move at this stage. If he was ever going to get it done, my guess is that Pat Riley would have made it happen."

apparently woods is very talanted, but teams were turned off by his character. This signing better work out for us, thats all I have to say.

I'd say there is about a 20% chance of it working out. How many of these players bounce around the league based on their potential and amount to nothing. all we did was cut Barnes so its a nice gamble

You sound like you're placing way too much on this final roster spot. Most final roster spot gambles don't work out. It's one thing to say Frye and Curry better work out for us, but Q Woods??

hmm, maybe your right, its just that I thought matt barnes was a solid player for us, philly apparently though he was good enough to pick up. if it comes at the expense of barnes, then qyntel should be held up to some kind of expectation, thats what I think anyway.

I was kinda hoping that Barnes would end up in Houston and take a few of Howard's minutes. The Rockets sure could use healthy help and even though Barnes no better than Howard right now, he does seem like a Van Gundy-style playa. It's too bad we didn't keep him.
