GREENBURGH, N.Y., Oct. 26 - When Allan Houston retired 10 days ago, the Knicks lost one of the most productive players in their history. Matt Barnes, however, gained an opportunity.

"It definitely opened up another spot for the four of us trying to make the team," Barnes, a 25-year-old small forward, said after practice Wednesday.
Later in the day, the Knicks trimmed their roster to 15 players by waiving guards Steven Barber and Jamison Brewer and forward Otis George. That solidified Barnes's bid for the 15th and final spot on the Knicks' roster.

He is going to be a great addition to the roster. Perfect hustling roleplayer type. sort of like Jerome Williams without the outgoing personality. But he will play the same way on the court. I really like Matt Barnes and he seems to be the kind of guy the garden crowd will really like and Larry Brown will really like him as well.

You guys are going to love his effort. Just a real hard worker, fun player to watch.....I can't understand why the Kings didn't make an effort to get him back!

especially since he seems to fit Sacramento's style of play, and isnt he a native Sacramento-an?

Yes. Look for his tattoo that says "Sactown's finest"
