Spurs have the most money to offer him as well.

He's coming to us guys. Really. I don't think he wants to go to the east.(boston or cleveland) Cavs? They have alot of wing players already in newly acquired delonte, szerbiak, and also booby, damon jones. Barry's importance will be ignored since they already made a blockbuster trade to begin with. And i think they're in the luxury tax too... with big bens salary.

Secondly, Why would he go to boston with three studded superstars plus rondo. You really think Ray allen or paul pierce need some shooting help? That'll be San antonio allover again.

After how you guy's treated barry, in his diminished role, and trading him to lowly sonics, i don't think he wants to come back to a team that didn't want him, unless you offer more. At this stage, i don't think money is what he's looking for. He wants to contribute.

So it really comes down to mavs and rockets. Mavs already acquired a legendary player, and they've got plenty of wing shooting guards already i think. Jkidd, jason terry, stackhouse, josh howard, emergence of jj barea, and even dirk plays at the wing sometimes. They also are getting a Center, maybe magloire. So they might not have a roster spot. How is he going to get space in that lineup? Aside from the fact that they're already in the luxury tax, do they really want to worsen it?

Rockets really need him and our GM showed interest off the bat. We're in need of shooters, and t'mac really doesn't have a backup since bonzi left. Having jon barry on our side certainly helps too.

So the smart move for brent barry, is to come to houston rockets. He'll play a pivotal role for us, if he really wants that opportunity. We've got a big gaping hole for a player like him since bonzi left.

Rockets also offer the lowest chance to get a ring.

I don't think it's a foregone conclusion he'll be on any team, but I would say the Spurs or Rockets are the two top places I'd expect him to end up.

Barry was a significant part of the team off the bench. Just watch that last Laker game for example.

Will Barry be eligible to be apart of the Spurs playoff roster if he has to sit out 30 days?

Ballings7 · Post #46 » by **Ballings7** » Wed Feb 27, 2008 8:11 pm

He just has to be waived by 3/1 to be playoff eligible. Which he was of course already waived.

Rumor has it that 8pm tonight there will be an announcement. Don't hold me to it though.[/list]

More news...

Rick Barry is on KTAR right now talking about Brent. He says that Brent would be better off basketball wise here in Phoenix than in San Antonio. Says he would love to see Brent here and would be a great fit here. However, he says, the San Antonio community and the Spurs love Brent and his wife and that the decision by Brent will most likely be made by his wife. In the regards of whether SHE wants to be here or if SHE would care if he's here or if SHE wants him to stay in San Antonio.

Yeah, he doesn't seem to like Pop too much. Yeowsers! Funny thing is that he forgets that the new suns aren't the old suns...Run and gun no longer exists in Phoenix. THere's this new guy out yonder who doesn't run and gun so much...he's kind of changed the who mentality of that team.

Yeah not bad at all. She's hot in a wholesome kind of way.

She has the whole white Halle Barry look to her ironically enough...

Ballings7 · Post #56 » by **Ballings7** » Thu Feb 28, 2008 6:43 am

While it's decreased a bit, the Suns do still run and gun, and in order to win, play well, they still have to get easy scores and make jumpshots.

It's all part of the plan... like some actor said in a new trailer. Like Presti, Kerr is an ex-spur

Timvp from spurstalk says...

No further info. Was just told Barry was staying by a source who has never been wrong before.

Take it for what its worth...looks good though. If this happens, then Elson+pick for Thomas was a heckuva trade!

Ballings7 · Post #59 » by **Ballings7** » Thu Feb 28, 2008 7:56 pm

Looking good, indeed

I don't see why anyone is surprised by this, it was straight collusion by the Spurs and their buddies on the Sonics (Presti and PJ). This was just a whole act to make it look legit.

I'm sure Pop, as the honest person he is, will criticize the league for allowing such an obvious unfair/colluded trade to go through between SA and Seattle now (just like he did with the Lakers and Grizz). I mean, Pop's all about integrity, right?
