Journeyman Barnes agrees to 2-year deal with Magic


Posted Jul 21 2009 2:41PM

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) -- Well-traveled free-agent forward Matt Barnes has agreed to a two-year contract with the Orlando Magic.

Barnes' agent, Aaron Goodwin, who also represents Magic All-Star center Dwight Howard, confirmed the deal in an e-mail Monday, but declined to disclose financial terms.

The Magic said they had nothing to announce yet.

The 6-foot-7 Barnes averaged a career-high 10.2 points, 5.5 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game in 77 games last season for the Phoenix Suns. The Magic will be his seventh team in his seven NBA seasons.

Barnes is the latest offseason acquisition for the Eastern Conference champions, who earlier added Vince Carter, power forward Brandon Bass and power forward Ryan Anderson.
