Matt Barnes Swings with Lakers

Barnes, who had 58 starts (81 games) under his name last season of NBA for Orlando, twitted earlier that he was heading for Toronto Raptors. But later on he confirmed in Twitter,

Its official I AM A LOS ANGLES LAKER. I wanna thank u for all ur patients and understanding. This is a dream come true!!! Good lookn Kobe.

Since Toronto recently spent a bulk of $5.8 million behind Linas Kleiza, it did not have available fund to sign Barnes.

Last season, this 6′7 veteran NBA player had an average of 8.8 points while his career high is of 10.2 for Phoenix during 2008-09 season. Lakers will be Matt Barnes 8th NBA team and we all expect a great swim for the Lakers this season.
