I have two issues with Barnes
1) he plays SF which is Andersons natural position, meaning we'd yet again screw a young talent who has shown flashes of stardom. How many times have we seen amazing potential from youth and either traded the youth away or signed/traded for a guy who starts over them and takes their minutes?
2) he makes us better but not better enough to contend. We're going to get stuck in that 25-40 wins rut where we have crappy draft position and no hype to get more FAs. We also have zero trade assets, but if the past is any indication, well just trade Anderson for some old stiff. We really hate youth. I mean Barnes is young but we hate retaining promising kids.
