Never fails 80% of the time, every time.
We would be crazy not to start him. Even if he plays like JJ and just stands outside and watches he is still going to get 14/6 on the night and the opposing teams defense will actually have to guard him.
I remember well the night when wayman came to us and the old place was rockin. The fans here deserve that feeling.

He's in the worst slump his career, probably including his Euro days. Bogi has made 7 out of his last 44 threes over his 7 games for 16%Start him.
.... it’s not like he could be worse than whatever Bogi’s been doing.
I hope that having Burks as a combo guard with Yogi can get him freer looks with less effort. In fact I think this part of the motivation of flipping Shump for Burks to get more ball movement and penetration with the second unit. I am looking forward to seeing what Burks can brings as much as Barnes. I would be shocked if Barnes does not start tonight. I would say it is a near lock.
I can’t help to think Bogi is not 100% healthy. He was worn down late last year and with the surgery I believe it’s hampered his play.
They have brought him some help and looking forward after a couple of weeks to see how Bogi will be used.
He has done a lot for us and he is a keeper.

Have to wonder if Burks will also allow the team to sit Bogi and allow him to heal.He's in the worst slump his career, probably including his Euro days. Bogi has made 7 out of his last 44 threes over his 7 games for 16%

I think you are right on the money, Blob. Another factor to consider is the psychological one. Per the Mavs announcer, Barnes may have gotten the word from his agent that the Mavs were interested in trading him for quite a while now. He thought that may have contributed to his style changing from "team ball" to one-on-one iso ball. The Mavs apparently were looking for someone to "take over" games in an iso manner. Barnes isn't that guy. I think with both Fox and Bagley creating space on the floor, and Buddy being the primary threat from outside, Barnes could absolutely thrive.

You gotta love a pic like this. Player is excited, coach is excited. Big fat guy wearing Kings purple in the background.

LeBron stopper?
Yeah, I don't know. Attitude might be a problem. May not fit in. I don't know that the coach and management are both on board with this trade. Might want to waive him just to be safe.

I've heard and read a number of times concerns about Barns willingness to pass and being a ball stopper and how the kings offense might be effected...thing is he is replacing shump and shump was not a passer soooooo how much damage can Barns at his worst really do?
Note: I think he will move the ball more than his mav tenure
