[edit] College and professional career
After a college career at UCLA, Barnes was a second round draft choice of the Memphis Grizzlies in the 2002 NBA Draft. He has played for the Los Angeles Clippers, the Sacramento Kings, New York Knicks and the Philadelphia 76ers, averaging 4.1 points per game. He was traded by the Kings halfway through the 2004-05 season along with Chris Webber to the 76ers, in exchange for Kenny Thomas, Corliss Williamson and Brian Skinner, but never suited up for a game with them due to knee tendinitis. He was waived and then signed a free agent contract with the New York Knicks in the 2005 NBA offseason. He was waived by the Knicks during the 2005-06 season after playing six games. He was then claimed by the 76ers to serve a second stint in Philadelphia,[1] where he finished out the season.
Barnes signed with the Golden State Warriors before their first day of training camp in October 2006.[2] On December 26, 2006, he hit 7 three-point field goals to tie a Warriors franchise record.[3]
