OKC fan wondering why you guys picked up Matt Barnes
Hey errybody. OKC fan here who enjoys watching Memphis but doesn't follow them closely. Just wondering, what did you guys trade for Matt Barnes? Would anyone like to let me know why this was the best trade ever/will doom your franchise forever? I don't really see him as a good fit and wanted to get some more knowledgeable opinions.

It was a cheap way to add wing depth.
We essentially (through a few trades) took the 59th pick from a few years ago and turned it into Matt Barnes.
I don't think this was ever billed as a best trade/worst trade type of deal. More of a way to get cheap depth and a guy who has play off experience.
Cool, thanks. I wasn't saying that was what it was billed as, just makin jokes.
Ha, yeah, I didn't think that's what you meant.
This sub has been anti-jokes the last few weeks!
