ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) -- Well-traveled free-agent forward Matt Barnes has agreed to a two-year contract with the Orlando Magic.
Barnes' agent, Aaron Goodwin, who also represents Magic All-Star center Dwight Howard, confirmed the deal in an e-mail Monday, but declined to disclose financial terms.
The Magic said they had nothing to announce yet.
The 6-foot-7 Barnes averaged a career-high 10.2 points, 5.5 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game in 77 games last season for the Phoenix Suns. The Magic will be his seventh team in his seven NBA seasons.
Barnes is the latest offseason acquisition for the Eastern Conference champions, who earlier added Vince Carter, power forward Brandon Bass and power forward Ryan Anderson.
Sorce:
http://www.nba.com/2009/news/07/21/magi ... index.htmlSo the Magics will keep making more and more addition to make sure they doesn't get into the Finals just to lose again. I'm not sure if all their additions will get them into the Finals again, but it seems like another solid addition for me. Mind you, the Magics have made a lot of noise so far in the offseason.
On a different note, Sean May also agreed to a one year contract with the Kings. I doubt he's going to make any difference unless he finally starts losing some weight.

Not bad addition, but now Ryan Anderson won't get decent playing time. Barnes could fit their playing style, but I don't think this is going to change anything. They could just let Anderson play, but that's my opinion.

I like it. The Magic bench is getting stronger. Some more guys to the backcourt.

Nice addition, Barnes is really versatile and will be a key rotational player.

Seems like a decent move to me, seems Orlando certainly doesn't want to leave any base uncovered.
