Happy homecoming for Barnes

Matt Barnes, who agree to terms with the Lakers on Tuesday, tweeted that signing with the two-time defending NBA champions 'was a dream come true.' The Lakers got a little older and a lot more experienced Thursday, when they signed veteran free agents Matt Barnes and Theo Ratliff.

Good pick ups by the Lakers

[pdee]

Matt Barnes is a good addition to the Lakers and a former UCLA player, We like this acquisition and know it will pay dividends.

[hard-nosed]

Barnes is a dirty player. I'm sorry to see the Lakers go this route. Unless they can somehow reform him, which I doubt.

Ratliff is over-the-hill.

Powell, like Morrison, increasingly lacked confidence, which led to a downward spiral of decreased playing time.
