Has anybody heard anything about this one? Do the Celtics have enough cash
to sign him? (I haven't read a thing about the new CBA because I haven't
had time to think about it.).....and why would they want to? I'm not really
thrilled with Barry's defense since he never plays it. I've also read that
he wants to go west where his passion for defense is shared by others. I
guess he could fit into Pitino's system...but I just don't like his game
that much. He seems the epitome of the all flash no substance NBA player.
Maybe it's just my anti-"California boy" bias. Anybody think this would be
a good move?
