The Sixers plan to be serious suitors for Golden State restricted free agent Harrison Barnes at the start of free agency, league sources say

Don't let the last few games of the Finals fool you...Barnes is a pretty damn nice player but not close to what he will get in FA.

Would be a solid pickup but again, he will command too much $ for the production he will bring.

A loser like Harrison Barnes would be a great fit for a loser franchise like the 76ers.

Real talk though...a 3 game sample size ain't shit.

Barnes is an above average player.

so true

turns down 16 mil a year with the best team in the league, shits himself, and gets sent off to the 76ers

an above average player wanting a lot more than above average money

[90sgoat]

Klay shit himself in the finals last year, Harden did so too in his only finals.

Young players failing in the finals is normal.

Barnes is decent, not a max player.

Still:

Barnes
Simmons
Embiid

Not bad front court.

Exactly.

Like I said in OP, what he will command will vastly exceed his production...but the 76ers barely have any salary committed. He could sign for the max 4 years and it still really wouldn't hurt them financially....If he bombs he could be a great expiring contract in a few years when the young talent they have need to be resigned to contracts.

Barnes is a nice player. Had a bad Finals, but Curry f.aggots going to use him as scapegoat for their unanimous MVP having the biggest choke in NBA history

If Philly offers him a deal on July 1st.... the Warriors will be in a predicament because the Durant saga will take a little while to "sort out." It very well may push GS to act quickly and either:

1) match on Barnes and forget Durant
2) skip Barnes and continue to pursue Durant

And either is not a great option because having Barnes at a huge price will hurt them the following summer with AI/Livingston coming up.... and if they go after Durant they may not get him and left with nothing.....

Solid

[Ca$H]

Sign and trade for Noel. Dubs should contact the sixers.

5 of 32 last 3 games and not the scapegoat doe Bran f.aggots logic cease to amaze.

[Levity]

barnes is a very fundamentally sound player who played 4th wheel in the starting 5, even with injuries to it.

no one really knows how to accurately predict what kind of player he'll be given the keys to the team as a 2nd option.

Marc Stein just reiterated what I posted in his latest tweet.

He's a role player for a reason. The other one is the first unanimous MVP in history, while not having the best of series in the meantime.
