Re: Rockets Offer Barry Contract
Quote:
The Rockets' pursuit of 6-7 free-agent guard Brent Barry has been largely limited to over the phone, with Barry wanting a few days before any face-to-face meetings. But they do have many connections to make the pitch.
Coach Rick Adelman and general manager Daryl Morey have spoken with Barry. Vice president/trainer Keith Jones, who worked with Barry when both were with the Clippers, has called. Assistant coach Jack Sikma, who was with Seattle when Barry was there, has talked with Barry. Guard Tracy McGrady shares an agent, Arn Tellem, with Barry.
"He asked a lot of questions, so we believe he is seriously considering us as far as we can tell," Morey said. "A lot of teams are pursuing him."
The Suns, Mavericks, Spurs and Celtics are also recruiting Barry, 36, who will be eligible to sign with teams other than the Spurs on Tuesday. Because he was traded by the Spurs, he has to wait 30 days to return to San Antonio. He is expected to be out for another 10 days to two weeks with a calf injury.
