The restricted tag means the Warriors can match any offer the Sixers give Barnes. I’m not sure going from the Warriors to the Sixers would be a smart move for Barnes if he wants a chance to win the NBA Championship next season, but there’s plenty of reasons to be excited about the Sixers next season. Maybe he’ll want to be a part of it.

OK, OK, I’m done.
