    I actually like the Warriors, but Barnes has been garbage this year. So overrated after the playoffs last year.

    He looked so good early on and until recently was at least shooting the 3 ball well. Guy's game is just deteriorating. Now that I think about it, it seems like he's playing less and less with Steph and Klay and more with Bazemore and Green and Speights. Definitely not good for his game.

    Barnes and Kawhi both became over-rated because of their perceived amazing play-off performances last season. No surprise they are at where they are now. 82 games of regular season data matters.

    Where's the 'data' that says Leonard isn't good?

    This is what many of us predicted about Barnes. He is a "system" player. Playing with back-ups and being expected to be the creator is not good for him. He needs team-mates who he can feed off of.

    He looked very good as a stretch 4 in the starting lineup. Put him back there and they could shoot even more threes. Then have David Lee be the go to scorer in the second unit with him and Crawford doing pick and roles every play.

    Pretty early to give up on a guy that they thought could be their PG of the future. Especially with Rose such an unknown.

    Thoughts on your beloved team Denny?

    Per @WojYahooNBA Bulls are trading Marquis Teague to the Nets. That's a pretty strong indication DJ Augustin found a home in Chicago.

    Evidently CHI doesn't think Teague can be anything special in this league. Wonder what Denny thinks?

    And the Bulls save salary $$$ by trading Teague.
