I love Barnes' game. I don't think he's going to develop on the Warriors. That team lives and dies with the jump shot and it's evident that the first and second shots go to Curry and Thompson.
Barnes can create, can hit, and could probably thrive if given the chance to be a first option. I give up Thad which he'd probably fit in with the Warriors. Trade experts, how do we make this work? Obviously G-State won't take MCW. Thad? Hawes? Turner?

You really think Harrison is that good? I don't know...watching him play and looking at his stats, he looks like nothing more than a role player to me than a main cog on a winning team.

He looks like a role player now because he's a fourth option. I see him like how I saw Jermaine O'Neal in Portland. Playing behind players who the offense flows through and teammates in the same position. Barnes has some serious tools that can be developed. I personally think he can be better than Curry, for sure better than Thompson one day

That's some pretty lofty praise. I know he was pretty good in college but I never saw that translating to anything great in the pros. I suppose we'll have to wait and see if he gets unleashed on another team.

probably Nerlens Noel. Harrison Barnes has potential to be great but he's got Jeff Green Syndrome. Got no killer instinct.

better than Curry? Yeah right. Better than Klay? Maybe..I'm not really high on Klay. Right now he's just Marvin Williams...talented young player but you don't really know how he's going to turn out.

If I'm the warriors, I'd let Klay go before i do barnes. Barnes has some serious potential. He won't be better than curry though. Showed some guts trying to put the game away last night but airballed it. Ran the fast break incorrectly a few plays earlier as well. I agree, his role is stunting his growth. Adding iggy doesn't help either. WRriors are going to need to make some hard decisions going forward. Barnes needs to be one of the players they keep.

Quincy Miller and Evan Fournier for Thad and a 2nd rd pick.

Yeah I think Barnes needs to get out of GS to fully reach his potential. I believe he could be a 18-22 a night type of guy offensively given the minutes. But to answer the question the Sixers shouldn't give up any of their future pieces (MCW, Noel, etc. or picks) and if thats the case the Sixers don't have much to offer.

You don't think G-State would want Thad, Hawes, and/or Turner?

thad and turner maybe.. it may involve a third team that would be thrilled to have them...

I think both fit in nicely with the warriors. Both are multifaceted and shy away from being the first option.

Lee > Thad
Iggy > Turner (even though turner is having a very good year for his standard, Iggy 'fits' GS better)
Bogut > Hawes

Unless these guys will accept a bench role don't see them working out in GS. Hawes maybe.

Ah, yes. I heard it comes with a flying carpet as well.

Anyhow, there's a reason Collins jumped shipped and went back to ESPN. The Sixers aren't going anywhere fast.

Turner's not going to want to be a bench player and Lee is basically a better Hawes in every aspect of the game, but Thad is actually very used to coming off the bench as an energy/hustle guy and played well with Iguodala when they were together with us. I could see Thad doing good things with the Warriors, him and Iguodala would thrive in the open space created by Curry and Thompson out on the perimeter.

Hawes is better than Bogut. Hawes can stretch defenses

Depending on the pick at the end of the year, this team is gonna have a turn around like no other.

He;s no Dequan Cook :oldlol:

Barnes sorta reminds me of a Ron Mercer/Reggie Lewis hybrid. I like how he can create space for his jumper, which is pretty silky.

I would trade you HB for Hawes or Young. I agree that HB could be a pretty good individual player but I don't think he really fits what the warriors need right now, which is rebounding and hustle.

I love how he's developed his mid-range game. Smooth as butter. Step back, fading away from a standstill, turnaround - this kid has it all.

I like his game and he is a nice all around player, but think you are overrating him a bit here. He averaged 45%/15ppg/4.8rpg/2apg on 38mpg in Iggy's absence and thats #1 option material? I don't consider that really stepping up his game. He had the chance to shine in Iggy's absence but he didnt really do that. Curry is a phenomenal player, wants and commands the big shots and proven. Barnes seems too passive to me. He wont be a #1 option on a great team.

LMAO you definitely don't want Hawes.

That's kind of a flawed way to look at it, no? Was he still not fourth in line for shots behind Curry, Thompson, and Lee?

He was playing significantly more minutes, close to 10 more when Iggy went out and he didn't turn up his game. If OP thinks he is a 1st option player, shouldn't he have found a way to break through with the starting role and significant minutes? It doesn't matter if you have those guys ahead of him, a true #1 option would have found a way to get his and impact the game. Te best players will find a way to breakthrough. This is no knock to his game. He is very very skilled. But he is no #1 option in my eyes.
