Yeah I think so too. Didn't even know that he had been bought out till I heard Jon say it on ESPN.

Itd be nice to have Barry as an addition to the team. WIth his vetarn experience he could help us

Cornholio · 02-23-2008, 09:36 AM

We just have to hope he didn't like getting traded and that he doesn't want to wait 30 days.

Barry would be a decent addition but I wouldnt be devastated if we didnt get him.
But yes he would make up for the loss of Wells and put some competition between Head & himself for minutes at backup SF-SG.

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.

I think he would be more suited for the SF/SG position.

Anyone have any interest in Chris Andersen?

We lack an athletic shot-blocker off the bench to intimidate drives to the basket.

Scola, Landry and Hayes aren't respectable shot-blockers and Dikembe's shelf-life has expired.

Brent Barry, with his court vision like PG and shooting ability, he is a perfect fit for Rockets.

I don't think he will be in the NBA this year, but I would give him a shot over the summer

jdiggidy · 02-24-2008, 03:26 PM

I really hate that the fact that teams can sign players back. The NBA should at least put something in the rules that says the team trading a player has to wait an additionaly 60 to 90 days beyond the 30 days already in place.

This would make things alot more interesting and make teams really question who they trade and don't trade. It is going to piss me off if Barry goes back to San Antonio.

Cornholio · 02-24-2008, 07:49 PM

They put these 30 days to prevent guys from coming back to their previous teams immediately, like Payton did with Boston.

Instead of adding more days, they should forbid the guy from returning to the team that traded him till the next season.

darkballa · 02-24-2008, 08:07 PM

after that video, we better sign him. He deserves a grammy for "best commercial with a former nba-dunk champion"
