Matt Barnes has not completely disconnected from the team with which he began the season.
He’s still in a group chat with the Kings’ Garrett Temple and Rudy Gay and former King DeMarcus Cousins, so the communication continues.
Still, Barnes, who was waived Feb. 20 to make room for the three players in the trade that sent Cousins and Omri Casspi to New Orleans, isn’t complaining about how things have worked out now that he’s playing for the Golden State Warriors, who have the best record in the NBA.
“I miss those guys, but I’m very happy with where I’m at now,” Barnes said prior to Friday’s game against the Kings at Oracle Arena.
