LOS ANGELES LAKERS UPDATES : ADDING TO THE BENCH...pt. 2



Well look who's coming to hometeam...Matt Barnes and Theo Ratliff.  Some of you may remember Matt Barnes from UCLA and others may not have caught onto dude until he got into a small skirmish with Kobe.  Well Kobe admire dude's toughness to openly recruit him and now he's a Laker.  Via his twitter page Matt Barnes said it's been a lifelong dream to play for the Lakers and told Kobe "good looking".  With Josh Powell leaving, Mitch grabbed a nice veteran in Theo Ratliff.  Dude has been around but he's a smart player, plays D, is known to block shots and be a scrappy guy down low.  He's also developed a decent 12 footer that will help him fit in the triangle.  I'm liking how we're moving this summer.  I wish there was a way to keep Shannon though.
