Haynes Article on Will Barton

[Hey]

Oh look another player who kills it in practice, we trade away, and then he blows up somewhere else.

Took three guys literally locking the guy in his house to keep Jordan from signing there.

Still did not land him. They have historically struck out, overpaying for marginal players like Finley, Parsons, Mathews, and Barnes. Nash also blew up after he left. They should just stick to trades and the draft .

Barton had plenty of chances to blow up here too though. The year he got traded we had a historically bad bench and yet he wasn't providing much when he got minutes.

When it comes to Barton....nice guy but I'll stick with Baldwin moving forward...Will doesn't want to come off the bench

My thought as well. I know the champ is a fan favorite, but for our needs going forward, Baldwin > Barton. And he's cheaper which is kind of important at the moment.
