Nah breh he can move his problem is his shytty and I mean SHYTTY ass ball handling (pause), he just sucks at blowing past people cause he too concerned about having to cater to the ball instead of it being fluid and apart of him. The basketball should be an extended part of your body, not a hassle your brain has to focus so much attention to.

I cringe every time I read a Barnes /Klay/Lee for Love proposal on the internet.
Barnes will go down as one of the GOAT teases in our basketball lifetimes.
Shumpert has a great first step too. So does Gerald Henderson. McLemore. Xavier Henry.
The thing is, if you can't dribble - then you seriously hinder what you can do as an athlete on the court as a perimeter player. Harrison Barnes doesn't even look natural when moves without the ball. With the ball, it just makes people frustrated how much of a waste of ability he is.
And I can't see a better situation anywhere in the league for him. Where's he supposed to go? A place where he can get more minutes and be the #2 or #3 guy on a young team? He'd get exposed harder than Julius Hodge.

Harrison isn't as good as people thought last year. ( huge dunks + playoff run )
Harrison isn't as bad as people think this year.
But I think everyone can agree he needs coaching and a system BADLY. He doesn't have a natural basketball game nor a high basketball IQ even though he seems like a well spoken, bright kid. Watching him try to play and pick and roll or make a decisive move 1 on 1 is cringeworthy.
He was gifted with a prototypical NBA frame, but cursed with a low IQ for the game.
On the Warriors, it's a lax coaching style and system where players are basically told to go out and get theirs. Harrison can't do that. He's out here launching threes, taking ill advised drives, never passing, and no one it telling him not to.
If he'll ever reach his potential, he needs to be in a Popovich/Thibs controlled system where he's given a defined role and told to do one or two things, and then build on his game once he achieves that.

Pop can't coach everyone
And Thibs is becoming reeeeeeal overrated as a player development guy. His defense is outstanding but if he was half as good at developing guys as people imply, then he wouldn't be running his starting 5 into the dirt every year.

It usually takes a catastrophe for Thibs to give someone a shot to prove themselves.

Look me in the eyes
Benefits by playing with starters which create better looks for him. This year comes off the bench which has been disaster.
This year is in a huge psychological slump and hasn't been able to create his own offense. He still has potential tho. Last night he looked pretty good. But I think its best to trade him while you still can, doesnt fit on the warriors real well at all.

Matt Bonner for Harrison Barnes 
Barnes needs a change of scenery and a team that is willing to give him minutes that will allow him to work on and improve his game. He's not going to be the superstar that many expected when he was in highschool but i think he can still be a very good player in the NBA.

Klay would be a perfect backcourt compliment to his game but yeah the other two parts of that trade isn't appealing.
I would be hesitant to trade love but If it came to that you guys Should explore a trade with Phoenix. They have the most assets to offer. U can get multiple first fond picks plus maybe Gerald green and some of them youngins they got.
Honestly their haven't been too many trade proposals I seen that look like Minny is getting back equal value. Really that's overstated though, cuz whenever a team trades it superstar they almost never get back anything in equal value. OKC with harden, Minny with kg, LA with Shaq, Utah with deron. U almost have to just accept that ur franchise will regress and start planning for the future for whatever u trade. That's why I say Phoenix would prolly be the best deal because they have the most young long term futuristic assets to offer.
