The Memphis Grizzlies acquired forward Matt Barnes from the Charlotte Hornets for guard Luke Ridnour, who later was sent to Oklahoma City.
The Grizzlies announced the trade Thursday, and the Thunder said shortly after they had acquired Ridnour and a conditional 2016 second-round draft pick from Charlotte for guard Jeremy Lamb.
The move reunited Barnes with the team that originally drafted him in 2002. I think Matt is a great addition to the Grizzlies’ roster. He is a great addition to join the force of Conley, Randolph, and Allen.
The 35-year-old Barnes averaged 10.1 points, 4 rebounds and a career-high 29.9 minutes for the Los Angeles Clippers last season. He shot 136 of 376 from 3-point range.
Barnes averaged 8.1 points, 4.5 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 779 games over 12 seasons with the Clippers, Sacramento, New York, Philadelphia, Golden State, Phoenix, Orlando and the Los Angeles Lakers.
