Think

Matt Barnes has been hanging on by a thread for nine years and is a free agent now. He makes more headlines for his run-ins with the law than he does his play on the court. As much as him and Gloria Govan have been in the news for domestic violence. He should be trying to keep his nose clean. When you manage to bring baggage to a stress free situation you're pretty damaged. He had a chance to hitch a ride on the popularity of a superstar in the  league. People would pay to see the one sleeping with Tony Parker's wife. It's up to him at that point. He couldn't even pull that off. He should have taken notes from Jalante West and the Lebron James saga. He is a distraction for Miami on the Boston bench. Barnes could've done the same in the West.

I think he has gotten caught up in the hype like the rappers Chris Brown and Drake. Just because you get a lot of tattoos and go to jail a few times doesn't make you a roughneck. You're going to end up in jail for real. Don't fool around and get a felony on your record. You'll be a card carrying member. He went to college and got a degree. A college graduate making a couple of million dollars a year isn't too bad. But what are you going to do three years from now? Nothing is wrong with being a second round draft pick who has made it because of his hustle. You are not the worst looking guy in the league. The one team that took a chance on him, he walked out on them. I've noticed  a trend among guys with an excessive  amount of body art. They're not very smart.  Does the ink affect the way you think
