    One would think there would be something about this on local SA TV in a few minutes...

    we'll see if any of the sports idiots on local news have any idea of what happens with the spurs. it seems like they all grab their information from us at ST. Lol

    Of course, the Spurs could always give him the LLE for two seasons.

    Doesn't the EN usually post their stories for the following day at Midnight CST? If so, I would hope/imagine that they'd have some information on Barry and Vaughn then.

    Like its been already said -- the EN (though slow) is still more credible than HouChron, especially when no major media outlet has reported anything yet.

    I just can't see Barry leaving, unless he's heard something from the Spurs that they are definitely going for a starting SG/SF and he won't get much playing time.

    Barry came back to the Spurs last year after the Spurs traded him. He could of easily been pissed and signed with the Suns.

    you'll notice that page lists the *best* FA available -- the complete ESPN list of free agents includes both Barry and Vaughn - with each having a player option

    http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/s...2008FreeAgents
    note: that was last updated at 6:14 pm san antonio time, so they could have gotten the news but just haven't updated yet

    If true I wonder what Barry's reasons for opting out were. Money?
    Maybe he's as disgusted with Pop's coaching as I am. Pop blew any chance we had of beating the Fakers by keeping an injured Manu on the courr and a hot-hand Barry on the bench.

    I mean, here was Barry's chance, the greatest chance in his career, to shine and be a hero. To help a team repeat, to pick up the slack when one of the stars was failing, and what did Pop do? You all saw.

    If Barry is leaving, I think he's fully in the right.

    I wouldn't exactly believe it just yet. He doesn't even have Baron Davis listed anywhere.
    ESPN just reported both Baron Davis and Elton Brand have opted out of their contracts.

    I would be surprised if Barry didn't opt out. He could make a lot more money. I hope he returns to SA, I give him props for signing with the Spurs after the trade to Seattle. Plus I give him credit for making Steve Kerr sound like an idiot when he complained by Seattle waiving him. That's always fun.

    Barry became a Spurs legend by waiting to resign with the team after they traded him away, then being money in the limited playoff minutes he got. If he leaves for another team then I wish him good luck and

    I am sure Pop has talked to him about his option in returning and letting him know that there is still a roster spot for him.

    Remember, the reason he re-signed with the Spurs in the first place is because his family, home, etc. is all in SA. Why would he take another year spot to be away from with a new team etc. when he is like a year away from retiring.

    I don't think we have anything to worry about honestly.

    Pretty surprising regarding Baron Davis.

    I wonder where he is thinking of going? I can't see any other team spending that type of money to sign him.

    It also helps GS have enough money to resign M. Ellis but they still may want to retain his services as well.

    He'll come to NYC and join the Knicks.

    I'd love to see Barry stay with the Spurs too, but I think the Spurs really do have other priorities right now.. we can't keep him around for sentimental reasons.. We need to get a nice swingman and go after a few more les before Timmy starts ridings off into that sunset. As good as Manu and Tim are.... the clock is winding down.

    I know a majority of this board doesn't want Finley back, but still...If Barry opts out....does re-signing Finley become a priority to keep at least one "three-point" specialist.

    We wouldn't be resigning him for sentimental reasons... the guy was a legitimate scorer and facilitator of our offense in the latter part of the post season and we definitely could use more of that next year.

    Ah well, at least he came back after the trade...and played really really well.


    IIRC, though the Rockets were the team that made the hardest push for him, the Celtics were the team he really wanted to sign with...I bet that smarts lol.


    This might be about money, but I bet it's more about PT...if he goes to the Rockets he's virtually guaranteed of getting a lot of TMac injury minutes. And Adelman plays an uptempo style of ball so he probably thinks that might be a good way to go out....he'll definitely pull some minutes out of Adelman.


    I'd really rather he didn't go to the Rockets, seeing as how that is bag team in a bag town...it hurts me to see Brent going bag on us. But what the ...he came back after being traded and turned down a ring to go down with the Spurs...you really couldn't ask for more than that.

    I mean...it's not like his jersey was going to be retired here or anything.

    The Rockets must have a Spurs fetish. Of all the players in free agency to target right off the bat...

    Yes, I'd agree with that for sure... but if Manu is healthy next spring/summer, how many minutes will he get? He's still up there in age.. not that the Spurs are dumping all their older guys, but we still need a quality SG that will be around at least 3 years. If we get that guy where does Barry fit in? How would he feel signing for less $, playing less minutes in perhaps his final year or two of his career? If he signs for minimum $ for the sake of getting another ring then we would all be impressed.. then it may get sentimental from there
