I've never seen a role player have so much cover run for him. I wish Gerald Henderson coulda got drafted by a team that knew what they were doing and he coulda been the 5th best starter on a title team and I could act stupid pretending he was actually a STAR.

Dirk and Wes throwing shade his way seemed like the most interesting part of this "story." Although, I did love how the writer made a big thing about Harrison guarding the 3 and Wes Matthews being all excited he could guard SGs and then the next sentence is that Barnes was most effective as a small ball 4.
It's a really bad article though. Completely ignores the reality of the last six years. Nobody expects Barnes to be a star, let alone replace Dirk. You should be happy nobody wrote this about Gerald; sets up unreal expectations for Harrison.

Jeff Green's inability to step up really hampered the Big Three as they got older. He offered nothing and then when everyone moved on, people actually believed (ala with Barnes to Dallas) NOW he'll be better. And then when he proved to be what he is, they'd move the line and say, "Well, nobody expected him to really be great." So frustrating.
His first playoffs with the Big Three actually made me sad. He was so pathetic and lost out there. Him playing basketball is like Jeb Bush running for President - they seem like kids whose dads are making them do it so they're just going through the motions, waiting for it to end.
20. "Yeah. Better Jailblazers comp for Barnes would be Derek Anderson" In response to Reply # 16
Anderson was more of a 2 guard than Barnes but similar athleticism and lack of attack mode to make it big. Anderson's UK teammate Ron Mercer might a better comp.
15. "alright I'll take my overall L on this " In response to Reply # 0
Still stand by what I said about his contribution to the small ball death squad system. He was a great fit for us guarding the other team's PF and as a rebounder
Dubs tried to fit him in as a pseudo-stretch 4, but he's just way too inconsistent from 3. Not a bad mid range shooter though if given the opportunity to take those shots
but yeah now? He's overpaid and probably going to play out of position
Ayo Barnes don't get the money He still choking, paper chasing Where max contract candidate's agent plotting wars with Dub nation Give the dough to Mason Stiff hip teen couldn't give work to Ohio Bobcats, face it His brand's faceless Play this by your hip Let my words loosen it, you'll love it I'll fry that ass 'cuz there was no one even there to "Glove" it Tell him his dough's not here Tell him he shoot with fear Harrison was just pretending to be someone above his years Duke fans is still hating Talking that Barnes done fell off, no shining One ring filled with diamonds Dubs pray "please God let him make one shot in the finals" What this overrated nerd was supposed to do for Tar Heels Take 27 three's from behind the line and they're out of alignment His assignment since game 7 Starks said retirement Hiding behind Draymond and Thompson Won't get rich but dies bombin' This is overeliance Now add 23 more, that's enough, there shouldn't be more Jones wave that towel over heads Barnes game on a free fall Now that's 50 bricks put up at the same time Bricky Barnes Fans start to groan, shoulda watched Dem Thrones His defender can start to roam Dem bricks got all in his dome The man left his jumper and his nuts at home Jones ran all up on dude from out of bounds More than McAdoo did last year for Dubs, it counts! This is that 12th man shit that never affect the outcome For scrubs that get booted out of low block position on foul shots Bring back ML Carr Towel waving was aborted So Dahntay breathes life back into this episode Let this man spaz in true Duke image Fuck it, I'm Dukie V in Duke blue Tees at the eulogy throwing parties for Dahntay Your box out ain't as hard as mine is Fuck around and draw that over the back on Draymond You don't know how hype my double fist pump leg kick combo is Or how I stand in the corner tugging on my shorts like Longo did I'm the same man that dunked on Virginia, did pushups of power The same man that played for Devils now getting champagne showers!
