Barros reminds me in some ways of Vinnie Johnson of the two-time champion 
Pistons.  He doesn't play a big role much of the time, but every so often can 
come in and turn a game around.  He did this for the Celtics last year 
regularly.  No one expects him to be a great point or a great defender.  He 
offers instant offense (when he's on) and that is what has kept him in the 
league all these years.  I sure wouldn't fork out big bucks on a new contract 
for him, but I don't begrudge him what he gets.
