Matt Barnes may join Raptors

The AP reports:

Free-agent forward Matt Barnes says he is headed for Toronto.

Barnes wrote on his Twitter page Monday that he has decided to play for the Raptors next season. He also thanked fans in Orlando, where he played last season.

Yahoo reports:

“The sign-and-trade is dead,” the source flatly said.
