    LOL! Where the F*** did he go? Or is going? China? Another city NBA team? YMCA assistant? My curiosity is up now.

    EDIT.... OK, good for him. Yeah he should fit in with Z-Bo who "is good with his hands" self glossed. Actally I am happy for him. I liked him as a Laker except for his injuries at playoff time. Seems like a good fit.

    In the L.A. Times Sports section, story of Barnes attending Jordan's B-Day bash and promptly letting everyone know that he will pop them all when they meet. If he nails Paul, Griffin and Pierce...it's all good.

    I've found myself warming to barnes as his career went on. I feel bad for him that he never got a payday. lesser players have been better rewarded. his highs seemed to come in non-contract years.

    I have to think part of that is because of his attitude. If he'd been more willing to toe the company line and be a good soldier, I think he'd have made more cash.

    My favorite Barnes career moment?

    When Kobe owned him by not flinching.

    That's how significant his career is to me. Is that harsh? [​IMG]
