East Valley Tribune: Suns sign Matt Barnes

They got him for the vets minimum. Lame. If we could have signed him at that price, we should have done so already.

Um, Ernie?

Boy, I’m sure glad Gilbert left $16 million on the table. That really helped put us over the top. NOT! And we got beat on a deal to get a guy for just one year at the vet’s minimum? Dude. Complacency is bad.

Funny. Your “lame” comment was the exact same thing I thought when I read this. Leave it to the West to get a steal – at least it wasnt SanAn…

Dammit.

Hope McGuire’s the answer.

McGuire will have to be the answer

And I believe in him (maybe, hopefully, perhaps?).

Surprised?

Is anyone really surprised that the Suns got him for the minimum? This happens every year with these perennial playoff and title contenders like Phoenix, SA, Miami (with Shaq) Dallas and on. The Wiz aren’t seen as in the same class. We probably could have offered Barnes 3Mil and he could have picked Phoenix anyway.

I take this as good news in that we’ll get a rotation player for the minimum because there isn’t much else out there.
