Dwight just said that he talked to Matt Barnes the day before he signes and told him he would LOVE for him to come here and the next day he signed so I guess it is official.

Whatever Rashard gives up in foot speed at the 3 he gains back with his length. There are only a handfull of 6'10 guys that can play the 3 in the league. I think he can still play that position effectively, but I can see SVG starting the season with him at the 4. Unless, Bass/Anderson/Gortat really impress in training camp.

Imo we signed bass so we can start shard at the 3 or 4 depending on wat team we r playing

What Cavs fans fail to realize is that Moon has done nothing to help a team win a playoff series. He was invisible against us two years ago and I believe he was banged up come playoff time this year.

 

However, Barnes was a major contributer on that famed GS team and consistently hit big shots in both the Dallas series and the following Utah series. When you pick up role players, you look for guys that won't fold in playoff games on the road and are experienced and capable of making timely big plays in pressure situations if needed. This is especially important for teams like the Magic that are in their championship window. Just look at guys like Derek Fisher, James Posey, and even MP last year. I'll take proven playoff experience over athleticism in a role player on a championship contending team anyday.

Aaron Goodwin, who represents Barnes and Howard, said the Magic's All-Star center made a big difference in the push for Barnes.
