Sucks if you ask me.... not sure if Barnes is really injured or they just don't want to use him.

Philadelphia 76ers President and General Manager Billy King announced March 5 that the Sixers have placed Matt Barnes (left knee tendinitis) and Michael Bradley (left calf strain) on the injured list and have activated Josh Davis and Willie Green.

Davis was placed on the injured list (low back strain) on Feb. 24 and has missed the last five games. The 6-foot-8 forward has played in 23 games for the Sixers this season, including five starts and is averaging 2.3 points and 1.6 rebounds per game. Davis had previously been on the injured list for 18 games from Dec. 17 to Jan. 24 with left elbow bursitis and has missed a total of 24 games due to injury.

Green, who is averaging 8.1 points and 2.7 rebounds per game this season in 44 games (20 starts), was also placed on the injured list (left heel pain) on Feb. 24. The 6-foot-4 Detroit Mercy spent the last five games on the injured list and has been a DNP-Coach’s Decision nine times. The second-year player enjoyed one of his best games as a professional on Jan. 26, 2005, when he scored a career-high 32 points at Washington.

Barnes and Bradley were both acquired from Sacramento along with Chris Webber on Feb. 23. Bradley has made one appearance with the Sixers while Barnes has recorded four DNP-Coach’s Decisions.
 
That does suck -- Matt deserves better than that. He's no star, but he's being treated as a true scrub again in this whole thing after he showed this year that he can be a contributing spot player on a pretty good team.
 
Message to Petrie: I understand that Matt was included in this trade just to make the salaries work. But, the 76ers don't even know what they got, and this is a terrible disservice to Matt. So, please, please, please, when Matt becomes a FA this summer......BRING HIM HOME!!!!
 
Word, word and word. It's like they didn't even look at any tapes or even try to get to know what he's capable of. :rolleyes:

Annoyed isn't even the best word I can come up with re the 76ers and their treatment of him - I can't even imagine how he must feel.
 
On the remote chance that Matt Barnes MIGHT either read this board or hear about it from someone, I hope he knows that Sacramento Kings fans APPRECIATE what he did for our team and we would welcome him back with open arms!!!
 
The 76ers would have to release him first.

COME HOME, MATT BARNES!!!!!

:D
 
Pretty sure Barnes isn't injured...he's just getting squeezed because the Philly system is so different on both ends of the floor than the Sacramento system, and his offense is relatively poor. Not to mention that Philly has plenty of live bodies like Barnes (unlike the Kings), so it looks like O'Brien is going to go with the guys that have been there the whole season. Tough break for the kid.
 
barnes come home this summer...... we are going to need you after we trade mobley for artest and thomas, skinner and daniels for boozer..... but then again.... we could trade corliss for hedo..... that would be a sick azz team.... bibby, artest, peja, boozer, miller as starters and bobby/house, evans, hedo, darius, filler/tag..... very good team indeed.... but come back anyways barnes..... you can end up taking hedos spot like jimmy j did.... lol

i can still see that happening.... people talk about him being a headcase, but this is the kings we are talking about if ostertag can develop a sense of hummor this team could work wonders for artest.... but i know you are loving the thomas, skinner and daniels for boozer trade though.....:D

why? he's cheap, knows the system and is locked up long term.... not only that but he could rest peja for the entire game and we lose absolutely nothing, well... we would be gaining some rebounds.... i miss hedo, i think that he would be more useful than anyother back up sf that we could find.
 
Back to the topic at hand...

I certainly hope we haven't seen the last of Matt Barnes. I'm going to be keeping my fingers crossed that we're able to get him back this summer as a free agent. Someone with the heart, desire, dedication, etc. that he's shown is worth having IMHO.
 
Barnes on the injuried list?? :( Come on, he didn't even play a game with the 6ers, how is he hurt?? Don't tell me it's from practice... :/

I agree with everyone that said they want Barnes back and it's too bad 6ers don't know how to use him as a player. First it's Doug on the IL...now it's my boy, Matty! :(

I miss ya, Matty... and we don't mind having you back!!!
 
that would be sweet if we did get him back... he was doing really well and he was the one i was most worried about when the trade went down.... i kinda knew that webber wasnt going to remain a king forever, but barnes was sac-town's finest.... he added the street credibilty that webber lacked, being from the mean streets of sacramento..... lol.

i hope that we can get barnes back, but when would he play? we have corliss now, who can do a lot more than matt....

my response to this news is nothing more than a BIG OL' EYE ROLL :rolleyes:

poor kid

Sixers fans called this action for sure...believe it or not the Sixers fans want to see what Barnes and Bradley can bring to the table...they just knew J O'B wouldn't use them...::shakes head::

Corliss might very well not be here by the time Matt would get back, but this is all the sheerest speculation. who knows wheher we'd even want him back -- he was kind of played as a last resort because of the short bench. who knows if he'd want to come back after being dumped. Corliss might be here, or not. Thomas might be here, or not. Evans might be back, or not. Even Peja might be back or not depending on what he says about an extension. Just too many variables.
 
i'm telling you guys... thomas and skinner for boozer..... that will go down, i'll send like a chain letter or a e-mail to petrie.... and he'll be like, "why didnt i think of that?".... just you watch!!!

Speaking of which -- did you know that there is an entirely fairly major website out there which has stolen that avatar to blatantly use as their mascot? About as blatant as I have seen (unless there is a 1 in a million shot Glenn actually gave them permission).
