With Belgrade dropping Leo Barbosa last night we could have a free agent bidding frenzy for his services...
Why?? Because of the value he brings as a 4th or 5th guard every week.
I will say that he's off to a slow start but he's still averaging 11ppg, 48% and 40%, and 28/16ATO. And he should get a bunch of steals once healthy. He also plays for the Phoenix Suns...yes, those are the Suns who are 2nd in the league in scoring (behind the Nuggets). I see a whole bunch of JBL teams that should be fighting to win his services...
Golden - Barbosa would be a great 5th guard as he can shoot 3's and provides good ATO.
Juan de Fuca - desperate for ATO and 3PT%
Idaho - needs some quality back court help
Seoul - another guard for a forward-heavy team
Boston - another option from a high scoring team is always a good idea.
I am still wondering why Belgrade made this move....
With Barbosa injured he could have stashed him away on IR for a few weeks. Instead, he has opted to sign Bellinelli (who appears to be getting less minutes these days). Maybe Belgrade is hoping Triano is going to move DeRozan out of the starting lineup and move Bellinelli into it. However, Belgrade now has 4 bench guys and no one is injured on his team...so someone will have to be dropped in the next 24 hours. Who will it be??? Maybe the best thing he could do is buy back Barbosa???
So what will the winning bid be for Barbosa. Considering guys like Krstic went for $61 dollars and Martell Webster went for $40 bucks - could be see a big bid right here?? Yuma has the most Free Agent money remaining but Golden, Seoul, and Juan de Fuca all have good amounts of cash left to bid as well. I see a very big bid winning his services.
My previous post this morning was about how I really need 3 categories....3PT%, STLs, and ATO....well guess what, Barbosa fits all those categories...
Let the bidding war begin....
