Barnes, 6-7, 225-pounds, averaged 4.3 points and 4.0 rebounds in six games for the Knicks. The Citrus Heights, CA-native was originally signed as a free agent on Oct. 6, 2005.</div> RealGM RealGM isn't the best source out there, but if this is true, Isiah must be up to something. I don't think he would just waive Barnes for no reason. If there is a trade coming along, I hope we don't use our expiring contracts; It'll be best to use at the deadline.
Barnes was a good player especially on defense but he just couldnt hit the open shots. This was bound to happen because he's been on the inactive list barely playing minutes. It started solid for Barnes because he started the first games but guess it didnt work out.
