I am told the @hornets will also end up with Jeremy Lamb in a separate deal involving Matt Barnes' contract. Barnes isn't going to OKC.

Thank God...Barnes aint coming to Okc

I would've loved Barnes in OKC.

He'd be a great backup for KD.

Good to see Lamb get out of OKC, might get a chance to play now

Perhaps OKC is looking to flip Barnes along with the 14th pick to move up a little in the lottery. I would see Indy moving back if they think Kaminsky is off the board.

I think this is actually a good trade for the Hornets. Just really dont want frank Kaminsky tomorrow.

Doesn't sound (at least according to Darnell Mayberry) that Barnes will be in the trade. Future draft pick (probably a 2nd rounder) for Lamb, if this happens (probably will). Not going to be the 39th pick, apparently.

I think Charlotte should consider hanging onto Barnes. Seems like a good fit.

Presti workin his magic

this is where I would rank Barnes fit in terms of locker room impact

Pelicans (Southwest) Pacers, Bucks (Central) Raptors (Atlantic)

if he really wanted to squeeze some extra cash, I suppose the Hawks is an option, but I'm not telling myself he wants to be the guy at the end of team practice/games walking away thinking, I got these extra money to go and spend.

Trading Matt Barnes' contract to OKC? What exactly does that mean?

Trade for and bought out.

Not with MKG and Batum on the team. A worse MKG. Also not sure that he helps the locker room being on a non contender with little playing time.

I forgot that Kemba and Lamb both played at UCONN.
