Even after Matt Barnes announced himself as a Toronto Raptor on his Twitter account, the sign-and-trade deal that would’ve sent him to the team with a two-year, $9 million contract has fallen apart, a league source told Yahoo! Sports. “The sign-and-trade is dead,” the source flatly said. Barnes could still agree to a new deal with the Raptors with the available money left in their midlevel exception, but there appear to be larger offers elsewhere for him. A source blamed the snag on a “miscalculation” in negotiations. http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news?slug=ys-barnescontract071910 The Raptors may rescind their offer for Linas Kleiza and offer Denver a sign-and-trade for him instead, using the MLE to purchase Barnes. Honestly, what the hell?
Re: Matt Barnes sign-and-trade deal falls apart, Raps considering retracting Kleiza o LOL, The NBA, where contract fuck-ups happen.
Re: Matt Barnes sign-and-trade deal falls apart, Raps considering retracting Kleiza o i'd rather get barnes than kleiza. But wtf second broken deal in a month
Re: Matt Barnes sign-and-trade deal falls apart, Raps considering retracting Kleiza o Yea Barnes over Lina any day, but I really hope in the end Sonny and DeMar start.
Re: Matt Barnes sign-and-trade deal falls apart, Raps considering retracting Kleiza o At this point I don't really care who the raps get to be honest. Neither Barnes nor Kleiza is going to get us anywhere so why bother? Maybe I am being too much of a Debbie downer, does anyone else feel this way?
Re: Matt Barnes sign-and-trade deal falls apart, Raps considering retracting Kleiza o The Raps now have competition for Barnes so it seems unlikely he will sign. I never understood this move from the jump. We already have: DeRozan, Barbosa, Belinelli, Weems, and Kleiza. Surely that is enough for the 2/3 (don't call me Shirley)?
