I can name 5 players he can cut to bring in a big man. Maybe they have a thing against big men.

Nah just a thing against big men who aren't any good.

Totally right. That's why we brought Jeffries.

Unfortunately, JJ is the best of the worst.

If Barron plays anywhere close to how he played last time he was with us, he will be miles away better than Jeffries. And by the way, Jeffries may be 6'11" but he is no big man. Barron is.

Yup Yup

I hate to say it, but on a team whose bigs depth is decimated (Bucks) and another team who has a need for bigs (Phoenix), Barron got scant minutes. Neither team signed him past the 10 day contracts. No idea why but neither team saw potential in him.

Very strange.

PHX only needed him as a stop gap while their bigs got healthy. They now have Frye, Gortat and Lopez back in the mix at center. With the Bucks, they needed him the same way. A stop gap until the players got healthy. They have Bogut, Sanders, Gooden and Mbah a Moute now.

but...His numbers were also not that impressive in his stint with both teams.

i agree i think Barron is a better bet than Jeffries at least he has some semblence of an ability to put the ball in the basket & can grab boards in the paint... whenever Jeffries is on the floor we're playing 4 on 5 offensively.

And why is Barron available again?

Who cares why? He is and he can help us. Roll the dice with him, like we will be waiving a star to give him a place here.
