Well fellas, it finally happened. Had to resort to old-man game when I played hoops today against a couple of fifteen year old kids. Couldn't get by them or really shoot over them, so just used my weight advantage to post-up and body up for offensive boards. Shooting flat-footed hooks and stuff. Like a 5'8" version of Celtics Shaq. I'm not sure whether to be proud or ashamed.

I hope you don't mind me asking but how old are you? when did you have a feeling that you had to switch your game up? Why not polish up those handles so you can keep the youngings on their feels. But shieet 2 points is 2 points.

I'm 39. The age isn't really the reason why I've had to change how I play. Its a combination of the Achilles surgery I had and gaining like 20 pounds over the last year. If I can get back in better shape, I'll play more like I always have. But for now, gotta use any advantage I can find.

but how were your screens?
 
Key piece on a team that just won the chip he knows the rich owners have to pay him so they don't ruin a championship team

I thought it was a long shot the Warriors would be able to keep all the key pieces anyway. Although I like Barnes, of all their key guys, he seems the most easily replaced.

Offering him 16 million for four years I thought was a good offer

Don't blame him for leaving though if he can get it
 
This dude really turning down 64m

Barnes is the perfect role player for what the Warriors do..

unless he takes a big leap this season i can't see him getting more than $64M
 
Barnes has to know that after kd he's pretty much the most coveted (u) free agent in a year where the cap will boom. Smart move

He'll get similar money elsewhere, but he'll also get to start and play more which is really the issue here
 
So the Lakers now get to choose from Barnes AND Batum when KD gives us the finger...oh joy.

Maybe at SF. Whiteside, Horford, Conley will be just as sought after if not more than Barnes

Then you have Bron, Wade after their 1 year deals

Drummond could be an UFA as well
