I would actually take Bell over Barnes and Im sure the Lakers would too. But Barnes is still a nice pick up. I wouldnt blow it TOO far out of proportion tho. He is a back up role player. I think the Steve Blake signing is a much bigger deal.

Early Bird exceptionThis is the lesser form of the Larry Bird Exception. Free agents who qualify for this exception are called "early qualifying veteran free agents," and qualify after playing two seasons without being waived or changing teams as a free agent. Using this exception, a team can re-sign its own free agent for either 175% of his salary the previous season, or the NBA's average salary, whichever is greater. Early Bird contracts must be for at least two seasons, but can last no longer than five seasons. If a team agrees to a trade that would make a player lose his Early Bird Rights, he has the power to veto the trade.A much-publicized example for this was Devean George, who vetoed his inclusion into a larger trade during the 2007–08 season that would have sent him from the Dallas Mavericks to the New Jersey Nets.Non-Bird exceptionFree Agents who qualify for this exception are called "non-qualifying free agents" in the CBA, meaning they do not qualify under either the Larry Bird Exception or the Early Bird Exception. Under this exception, teams can re-sign a player to a contract beginning at either 120% of his salary for the previous season, or 120% of the league's minimum salary, whichever amount is higher. Contracts signed under the Non-Bird exception can last up to six years.
How can the Lakers use the MLE on that nigga Brown, they already used the full MLE by signing Blake and Barnes. Or did they get some preferencial treatment again because they are the LAkers?
