He'd be a great addition to the bench to spell Pierce for 15 minutes or so a game.. Definitely a upgrade over Marquis Daniels! .... If we can land Barnes and then re-sign Nate Robinson and or bring Eddie House back then I'd like the C's off-season a lot.

I think it would be a really solid move.

Hell yea that would be a solid move. Put him in instead of Ray Allen when he's sucking.

He should have his announcement on VH1.

I would love to see Barnes go any of the top teams but Miami. Barnes and Artest in LeBron's head while playing D? Wow...Only thing worse would probably be Delonte on the Lakers.

With all the money flying around so far you would think he could get at least 3mil a year in a multiyear deal.

Just like what was said on ESPN, the Celtics are quietly making moves. They have had a pretty solid off-season that have been overshadowed by the new Miami squad.

Added
Jermaine O'Neal
Avery Bradley
Luke Harangody

Lost
Rasheed Wallace
Tony Allen
Shelden Williams

Kept
Paul Pierce
Ray Allen

I think they still need to keep Nate Robinson and pick up Barnes and/or Josh Howard. Might want to pick up another big for insurance on Perkins.

I think the Celtics had a really solid draft (somehow I think Hangody helps them) and I liked the Jermain O'Neal signing. However, I think the lose of Tony Allen is bigger than the addition of O'Neal.

Obviously he's one of the guys who doesn't really care about a ring.

He's been a journeyman on low wage contracts his whole career. I don't blame him for taking probably the best payout he'll ever get. At 30 years old with his history, you've got to think at this point $10 million for 2 years beats the hell out of $3.5 over 2 years on the veterans minimum to play for a ring.
