The deal is likely for the remainder of Orlando's mid-evel Exception.

This move likely means Matt Barnes' days with the team are over and it could be a sign that the Magic will not match Chicago's three-year, 20 million offer sheet to restricted free agent guard J.J. Redick.

Im confuse why he can't stay on one team for more then a year or so, he's not a bad player at all, guess he's just not consistant enough..Didn't we have him in training camp a few years back, and we cut him

That's what I always wonder- a team signs him, he plays pretty well from what I see, and then they make no attempt to re-sign him. It's just odd- I wonder if there are some other issues about him that we don't know. Oh well, I suppose if he can't get anything more than the minimum, he'll just take his talents to South Beach.

In answer to your question, we signed him when we had Larry Brown, he played well for us during the season and then I think we suddenly cut him during the season to make room for... I think Qyntel (? erm I forget how you spell his name- the dog fighter) Woods. Hmm- someting definitly wrong with him for this to keep happening. Anyone know?

I'm starting to believe BArnes is a headcase. Haven't seen anything to prove it beyond the fact that he seems to produce where ever he goes yet, every year he's looking for a new home. Either wanderlust or headcase imo
