What Barnes always gives is hustle and toughness, something every team needs. Not only that he is a decent shooter, 34% from 3 and 45% from 2 for his career. _________________ .....

Horrible thread. Barnes sucked so much for us. All of the sudden he has a couple of good games and you're really gonna be blaming the FO? Ridiculous. Lock this one up.
Just ask yourself this. Matt Barnes or Wes Johnson?
Wes. He sucks more and has done an immeasurable amount of work for the tank. And for that I commend him
And who gives a (bleep). It's freaking Matt Barnes. Not like we didn't re-sign LeBron or something... People these days just want to pile blame on the FO for no reason

Clips are winning because Blake Griffin is healthy and Chris Paul has been sensational.
CP3 has won nothing in his career and has been paid superstar money, Barnes on the other hand has played for chump change, yet he always gives hustle and effort and is one of the main reasons the clips have advanced. Barnes is a bargain and has had a good career playing roles that most payers won't.
Don't ya think that CP3 and Blake should be leading the way for the Clips? _________________ .....

Why are you defending this FO? They are the biggest idiots on the planet. Matt Barnes has always given 110% every time he got on the floor. Just because we had horrible coaches and mismatched players you're going to blame it on Matt. Come on man. Until Jim Buss either steps down and or the Lakers sell the team there will not be any rings. EVER! Most people here are living this fake dream about the lottery, and top notch free agents coming here. It's not going to happen nobody and I mean nobody is going to play for some dude who has no credibility and no idea of what he's doing. Come back in 5 years and look at this thread again and you'll see that what I'm telling you is true. The Lakers are the old Clippers and the Clippers have turned the corner to be the old Lakers. And believe me this hurts as a 45 year Laker fan because I realize what's happening and there's nothing that's going to change anything until the FO is restructured.

Please explain why the FO should not be blamed for the current Lakers predicament, it certainly is not Barnes. _________________ .....

I don't blame the FO (and this is coming from someone who didn't like the $24M extension from day 1).
matt is a good player, unfortunately he was injured alot when he was with us. The coaches didnt help either. He's ok now because hes been fairly healthy and has been with the team a few years now. Teams that have played together a few years develop a familiarity with each other that helps them eventually in playoff situations. I hope the fo develops our young guys instead of trading for a more established older player.

What a sloppy mess of a post. You really think I'm defending the FO for all their bad decisions? I'm just not faulting them for not signing a scrub who magically puts together two good games in the playoffs.
Please read my posts before you make the assumption that I'm defending this FO for all their mistakes.

We won 2 championships, then lost in the PO's. We broke up that team, and then went out and got Chris Paul, Dwight Howard, and Steve Nash within the same year. Then basketball reasons happened, Nash broke his leg, Doc Buss died, Kobe tore his Achilles, and Dwight left (mind you, all of this was done under a CBA specifically designed to stop the Lakers). Notice anything? None of those are exactly the FO's fault, unless you want to blame Jerry for not sticking around longer...
Then, we suck the next year, as expected after having all those things happen. But what comes out of it? Clarkson and Randle. Then we suck again last year (again, unreasonable to expect all the damage to be reversed). And now we have 3 nice draft picks, including one top 5 to help out the re-build.
Now, 2 short years after that (bleep) storm of terrible things, we find ourselves in pretty damn good position to re-build with (potentially) 3 blue chip prospects and a crap ton of cap space. I'd say th FO is doing just fine.
What Barnes always gives is hustle and toughness, something every team needs. Not only that he is a decent shooter, 34% from 3 and 45% from 2 for his career.
Agree
Barnes can be one of the pieces that is the difference between advancing and not advancing.
There are certain role players which are simply valuable to a team's success.
I'll give you the coaching hires tho. The last 3 coaching hires have been flat out stupid. And most people could see it from a mile away
Brown was not smart.
MDA is a pretty coach if he has the right players. He is going to get another job so he cannot be that bad. He was the wrong coach for the players on this team at that time. The hiring of MDA was not smart.
Scott is still a work in progress. He has a great relationship with Kobe which helps the team. Unfortunately he really does not have the players.

Reliving the outrage of the Lakers letting Matt Barnes walk rather than pay him 1 million dollars.
Dude is flat out tenacious on defense and has ice in his veins, shooting clutch 3's in the playoffs. 20 points tonight in the second round.
Championships are built in the front office and failing to keep Barnes for 1 Mil is just another sign of the ineptitude of the Lakers front office.
The sooner we get real front office, the sooner we will have a team again.
Sincerely,
Ebanks, Caracter, Guidelock, Morris and a bunch of other D-league Lakers.
Let's be honest. This isn't really about Barnes at all. It's about starting yet another tired thread to take opportunity to bash the Lakers front office.

CP3 helped the Clippers in that series waaaay more than Barnes did. If Barnes didn't shoot so terribly in games 2-6 then I think it would have been a shorter series. Barnes missed 3 key free throws which cost the Clippers game 2 and a 2-0 series lead.
