Orlando Magic Sign Matt Barnes
| Quote: | The Orlando Magic's active offseason continued Monday when they closed in on a deal to sign free-agent forward Matt Barnes, according to sources with knowledge of the talks.
One source told ESPN.com that Barnes and the Magic have agreed in principle on a two-year deal for an undisclosed amount that could be announced as early as Tuesday. |
excellent signing.

I think Barnes is a good player. He will really help Orlando off the bench.

The Magic have more than made up for their losses. Their bench looks fantastic now.

Probably not until the trade deadline but yeah he should be moved.
I am very excited about this signing he gives us good defense and another guy who can shoot the 3. Now if we can sign Watson we should be sitting pretty for the season.
PG: Nelson, C.J. Watson, A.J.
SG: Vince, Barnes, J.J.
SF: Shard, Peaches
PF: Neo, Bass
C: D12, Gortat

My 2 favorite players are now on the Magic.. too bad I'm stuck with the Knicks. 
Very solid signing, they've more than made up for the lost depth in the VC trade.
