08:05 AM ET 09.12 | It seems Leandro Barbosa, who's still on the market, will have NBA offers -- it's just a matter of whether he's willing to accept them. He's one of those guys who thinks he deserves more but is likely only going to see veteran minimum offers. Welcome to the new CBA. But some teams are talking to him, the Brazilian guard told UOL Esporte, a publication in his native country (translation via Hoopshype). "Among others, I'm talking with Phoenix, the Brooklyn Nets and the Los Angeles Lakers. Steve Nash even texted me because he wants me there." ... Barbosa says later in the interview he would play for the veteran minimum on a contender. If he can't land an NBA gig, he says he would want to play in Brazil this season.

Isn't that what he tells everyone he's ever played with?
