Barron received large offers from Maccabi Tel Aviv and several teams in China, but turned them down to continue pursuing his NBA dream. While Barron insists that he "wasn't frustrated" because "things happen for a reason," he hired a new agent, Derrick Powell, and focused on getting back into the league. HoopsWorld

The Phoenix Suns completed a flurry of roster moves today in the wake of starting center Robin Lopez's injury. The team's interest in signing former Knicks big man Earl Barron was noted yesterday and he cleared his physical today. To consummate the signing, the team waived guard Matt Janning, who escaped the preseason's roster cuts but had not been active through the Suns' first 10 games. Janning had been a favorite throughout the Summer League and preseason, but back-up point guard Goran Dragic's stellar early season play made Janning expendable, given the situation. SB Nation

Several teams remain interested in Barron's services as they evaluate their rosters and weigh their options. The Phoenix Suns, Chicago Bulls, Los Angeles Clippers, Toronto Raptors, New Jersey Nets and New Orleans Hornets have expressed interest in Barron. With other free agent big men such as Erick Dampier and Fabricio Oberto now off of the market, teams looking for frontcourt help are expected to turn their attention to Barron. With more than just seven games to learn a system, jell with teammates and get comfortable, Barron could become a solid contributor. He has made the most of every opportunity given to him and it should be just a matter of time until he has another shot to turn heads around the league. HoopsWorld

It's very rare that a talented, seven-footer gets ignored in the NBA and Barron isn't sure why he hasn't gotten another opportunity to prove himself. Rather than signing overseas, Barron is waiting for a call from an NBA team. He recently fired his agent, Mark Termini, and is now represented by Derrick Powell, according to sources. Powell could not be reached for comment. HoopsWorld

Free agent center Earl Barron will work out for the Cavaliers this week, agent Mark Termini told HoopsHype.com. “This is a team that followed Earl closely when he played for the Knicks last season,” Termini said. “There is a possibility that Earl will remain unsigned at the start of training camp.” HoopsHype

But there is already a logjam in the frontcourt, when you consider Amar'e Stoudemire and Anthony Randolph are also candidates to play minutes at the five. With a more compelling issue to address in the backcourt (mainly the SG spot), the Knicks at this point are not expected to reach out to Barron even for a camp invite. Newsday

The Knicks are not expected to bring back Earl Barron as a fourth center on the roster, which I expect will result in great dismay from you Barronites out there. He played all of seven games last season -- hey, that equaled Eddy Curry -- but he left a strong enough impression on fans to conjure regular requests from Fixer Nation for me to look into his status with the 2010-11 roster. With Curry, Ronny Turiaf and Russian rookie Timofey Mozgov on the depth chart at center, the Knicks aren't in the market for yet another big man. The discovery (and signing) of Mozgov effectively ended Barron's chances of a return, even after rookie Jerome Jordan opted to go to Serbia rather than come to camp this year. Newsday

At this point, you still have to expect someone will give the 29-year-old journeyman, who has a nice touch around the rim, can rebound and block shots, at least the veteran's minimum. Once Lou Amundson makes a decision on his future -- the New Orleans Hornets appear to be the front-runner -- teams such as the Warriors and Pacers could turn their attention to Barron. "We are having discussions with several teams regarding Earl," Barron's agent, Mark Termini, said when we spoke today. Newsday

According to a source, Knicks free agent center Earl Barron turned down an offer recently from Maccabi Tel Aviv because he's confident he will sign with an NBA team soon. The Knicks showed interest in re-signing him, but because they overpaid for young Russian center Timofey Mozgov with a three-year, $9 million deal, brass ultimately has to see if he can contribute in his rookie year.

The Knicks' roster now has 14 players and they could fit center Earl Barron, who had a strong finish with the team. The Knicks had interest in Barron, but Knicks president Donnie Walsh, according to a source, has not heard recently from the Barron camp and isn't sure what his future is. "I think we're done," a team source said. New York Post

Earl Barron: Just left Lorenzen's memorial. Got emotional at the end hearing the choir sing "Going Up Yonder" watching them push the casket. So many people came out to celebrate his life. One quote stood out today. "The enemy has a plot but God has a plan." Twitter
