Otis Smith explains why he didn’t offer Matt Barnes a contract

If anyone had any doubts about Matt Barnes’ future with the Orlando Magic,
those doubts were erased last night with the news that the Magic were
re-signing J.J. Redick.

Now, it’s crystal clear that the Magic will go with Mickael Pietrus and
Quentin Richardson at the small-forward spot, with the possibility that
second-round pick Stanley Robinson can make the regular-season roster if he
performs well at training camp.

General Manager Otis Smith said this morning that he has not offered Barnes a
contract this offseason. This confirms what Barnes and his agent, Aaron
Goodwin, have been saying over the last couple of weeks.

Barnes has said he’ll announce today where he’ll play next season.

So, why didn’t the Magic make an offer? A reporter posed that question to
Smith this morning, and Smith indicated that Richardson will upgrade Orlando’
s small-forward spot.

“Well, we looked at everything as it relates to our team and the areas of
how we can get better,” Smith said.  ”We looked at that as it relates to
Quentin, as it relates to Matt, as it relates to J.J. and tried to improve
our talent in other ways. . . .

“Quentin is a little bit better skilled player with similar toughness as
Matt has and will fit. And, then, J.J. and all of the things I said before
[about J.J.]. We like Matt for what he brought to the table, but sometimes
you have to make decisions that’s best for your club long term.”

簡單說，Otis 認為小Q比咩棒能夠讓魔術隊更好.
