The early warriors were able to succeed. In addition to the outbreak of and Curry's , Cole's system and some ideas also played a crucial role. For example, in the 2015 finals, he directly put out the "Death Five" "Little", relying on that starting lineup, the Warriors directly completed the reversal and won the championship that season. After winning this championship, the Warriors directly found their key to victory. Whenever they wanted to end the game, the "Five Little Deaths" became one of their killer moves.

After that, the Warriors won 4 championships one after another, but their lineup also changed many times during this period. Basically, the starting lineup was different every time they won the championship. As one of the first-generation "Death Five" members of the Warriors, Harrison Barnes won a championship ring with the Warriors in 2015, and after the Warriors were "gilded", he later developed in the NBA. It went quite smoothly, and now he has earned US$180 million in the NBA. So next, let's review Barnes's experience with the Warriors, why he left the Warriors and how he performed after leaving the Warriors.

Barnes, known as the "North Carolina Blackhawks", was selected with the 7th overall pick in the first round in 2012. Compared with Green, who was also selected by the Warriors in the second round in 2012, Barnes' rookie season was obviously He was a favored player. He started 81 games that year, averaging 25.4 minutes per game and averaging 9.2 points, 4.1 rebounds and 1.2 assists. Although this performance obviously did not fully meet the team's expectations, after all, Barn Si's physical talent is there, and the Warriors still chose to believe in him.

In the 2014-2015 season, Barnes once again played every game in the regular season as a starter. This year, he averaged 10.1 points, 5.5 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.1 three-pointers per game. Compared with his rookie season, his improvement is still very obvious. As the Warriors' starting small forward, Barnes focuses on cutting and shooting without the ball on the offensive end. He is smart and tough on the defensive end. In the end, with his help, the Warriors also achieved a good result of 67 wins and 15 losses in the regular season.

In the 2015 playoffs, Barnes averaged 10.6 points, 5.2 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1 three-pointer per game. In the finals, the forward group he created with Iguodala and Green caused a lot of trouble for James , and in the end they succeeded. Won the championship, and after that the Warriors became better at using this lineup.

In the 2015-2016 season, Barnes averaged 11.7 points, 4.9 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.2 three-pointers per game in the regular season. With his help, the Warriors achieved the best record in NBA history of 73 wins and 9 losses. If the Warriors can successfully defend their title this year, Then they will completely confirm their position as the best team in history. It is a pity that the Warriors were leading 3-1 in the finals, but were finally reversed by the Cavaliers. Barnes' sluggish performance in the finals also left a deep impression on the fans. The final game of that series In the two games, Barnes made a combined 3 of 18 shots and 2 of 9 three-pointers.

Barnes's inaccuracy in the Finals gave the Warriors the idea of ​​​​reinforcing his position. Just in time Durant became a free agent, so the Warriors directly launched a fierce pursuit of the latter, and in the end they succeeded. Durant was signed. After Durant joined, Barnes had no chance to return to the Warriors. However, as a blessing in disguise, he also received a four-year, $96 million contract from the Mavericks in the free market.

After transferring to the Mavericks in the 2016-2017 season, Barnes gained a status and ball rights that far exceeded those of the Warriors. In the regular season that year, he averaged 19.2 points, 5 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game, and he averages 19.2 points per game until now. Even still the best performance of his career. However, for the Mavericks, who have been declining, the arrival of Barnes did not improve their results. On the contrary, they dropped 9 wins compared to the previous year, and in the end they failed to score. Playoffs.

After gaining the core position of the team, Barnes also exposed many shortcomings. For example, he is not good at holding the ball on the offensive end. His skills in this area are not enough to support his offensive output. In addition, he There is no organizational ability, coupled with the instability of outside shooting, these are destined to not be too high for Barnes' upper limit.

In the 2017-2018 season, Barnes averaged 18.9 points, 6.1 rebounds, 2 assists and 1.5 three-pointers per game. Although his performance was more comprehensive compared to the previous season, the fact is that this kind of improvement is obviously not what the Lone Ranger expected to see. , and this year's regular season Mavericks only achieved a record of 24 wins and 58 losses, so from this time on, the team had the idea of ​​sending him away.

In the 2018-2019 season, after the Mavericks officially established the core status of Doncic , Barnes's existence became even more useless, so Barnes was sent to the king in the middle of the regular season. It is worth mentioning that when the deal was officially finalized, Barnes was playing for the team. At that time, he scored 10 points and 3 rebounds. However, after being replaced once, the team's head coach Carlisle informed him of the news. Barnes didn't play again in that game.

In order to keep Barnes in advance, the Kings also signed a four-year $85 million contract with him in 2019. After that, although Barnes has no hope of reaching the All-Star or higher level , but he has always been conscientious. He is basically one of the best players in the team every season, and he can't find too many problems on both offense and defense. In 2023, the two sides once again reached a three-year contract of 5,400. Wan's contract renewal.

However, as he gets older, Barnes' condition has inevitably declined. Last season, his averages of 12.2 points, 3 rebounds and 1.2 assists per game were all new lows since leaving the Warriors. During the offseason, the Kings planned a big three-party trade to acquire All-Star guard DeRozan in order to strengthen the team, while Barnes was sent to other teams by the Kings as a bargaining chip. After Povich played for the Spurs, Barnes also gave up his trading bonus.

In addition to Barnes, the Spurs also signed former All-Star point guard Paul during the offseason. The joining of these two veterans can also share more experience in winning in the NBA with the Spurs players. Although the competition in the Western Conference will be fierce in the new season, the Spurs are not completely without a chance to make the playoffs. As for Barnes, under Paul's organization, he may be able to regain some of his peak form.
