Brent Barry traded?

[The_Game]

IM listening to Rick Barry on 680 KNBR San Francisco and he just said that his son called him and the Spurs told him he wasnt going on the plane with them...that all he said, said a trade will probably happen..more to come.

[GINNNNNNNNNNNNOBILI]

Brent Barry for Tim Thomas anyone?

[Dunc]

Crazy shit that

[Kori Ellis]

You are obviously quoting someone -- so who said that they heard it on the radio?

If you can find $10 mil more in salaries that the Spurs can send out without gutting the team, sure.

[timvp]

Don't buy it. :td

[Peter]

Assuming so, it'd be interesting to see what they got back. If they don't get a swing then Spree or Thomas better be on their way because they'd have absolutely no depth at the swing spots. Barry hasn't been that great in SA, but he knows the system now and opponents always have to respect his shot.

[50 cent]

They might have been shopping him, but most likely couldn't find a good deal.

At least there was some kind of source given, though it's word of mouf.

The reason I doubt it's true is because Brent Barry doesn't like his dad enough to call him and tell him something right away :lol

It's a possibility that the Spurs told him to wait because they were talking trade, though nothing materialized.

Yep. All they have to do is inform the league that they are in serious talks and then they are given additional time to complete the deal. The league still has to approve the deal, of course. This is probably why the "deadline" was moved up this year.

[Kori Ellis]

Yes. Many trades get announced after the deadline. They just have to get the preliminary paperwork to the league office by the deadline.

I asked the same thing. His dad just happens to be in SF.

[MoSpur]

Barry knows himself he hasn't produced. He's even said it himself. The only reason I'd want Barry to stay is because he is a great locker room guy. He hasn't caught on to the offensive system. He seems hesistant when he has the opportunity to shoot. I guess he'd rather pass to Tony, Manu, or Tim and not get looked at for missing a scoring opportunity.

[unstandable]

It wouldn't have been to Golden State. It was on SF radio because that's where Rick Barry works. Golden State fans were just hoping that the deal was for Derek Fisher.

[dknights411]

Great more speculation. Didn't the deadline pass like an hour ago?

Any deal w/the Warriors probably fell through when Nesterovic was offered for Murphy.

[FromWayDowntown]

Moving Barry would seem to be a necessary step in any move to acquire either Tim Thomas or Latrell Sprewell. If that's what the Spurs have in mind, I doubt that they were offering much resistance in any negotiations; though I'm sure they weren't (aren't) going to take a hideous contract back.

Hmmm...I think the Spurs would add Spree or Thomas regardless of what happens with Barry. I do agree that Barry would be moved for a shorter contract.

Oh Well. No Use In Talking About It Now. It Fell Through I Guess.

[FromWayDowntown]

I could see that having Barry around wouldn't necessarily be an impediment to acquiring those guys, but I'd think the optimal decision would be to move a wing to reduce the clutter before bringing in one of those guys.

[50 cent]

There is no way the Spurs would add that much salary for Brent (talking about Fisher). We all know they would be looking for an expiring contract or a young SF.

[Peter]

Well, they only have 4 swings and Pop's had no problem kicking Barry to the curb.

[cheguevara]

Man... that trade fell through faster than you can catch, turn and shoot.

which means more than .4 seconds right?

[timvp]

Barry for a Tariq Abdul-Wahad type contract is probably what the trade was about. Perhaps it was for Olivier Saint-Jean...

Abdul-Wahad has the same ridiculous contract as Saint-Jean.

[spurster]

So this amounts to the Spurs wanting to trade Brent and the Warriors wanting to trade Fisher, but one of the teams not wanting what they would get.

Fisher was clutch, but he's aged too much now. A fourth PG is little too much, too.

I'm just wondering if he was on the charter flight or not. I think it's funny if he had to fly separately.

Picking up Spree for nothing would probably be a better basketball move than anything they could've landed for Barry. Picking up Thomas would be even better.

[Kori Ellis]

Another meaningless trade (just noting it):

Philadelphia 76ers President Billy King announced today that the team has traded forward Lee Nailon and a 2006 second round pick to the Cleveland Cavaliers in exchange for a conditional second round pick in the 2006 NBA Draft.

Also ..

ESPN's Marc Stein has learned that Flip Murray has been sent to Cleveland in exchange for Mike Wilks and $500,000 cash.

[Kori Ellis]

Don just said only what we know here.

Rick said on his show that Brent called him this morning and told him that he wasn't going to Memphis that he was told not to go to the plane, etc.

Then Rick speculated that it might be to Golden State.

Then right before the Spurs boarded, Rick reported that the deal was called off.

Brent got on the plane and went to Memphis.

So all other speculation by Walter, Vex and anyone else on it being with the Warriors, for Dunleavy, whatever, is just speculation.

What happened?

[Brutalis]

Barry for Dunleavy would have been awesome.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Dunleavy's a fucking scrub, I would have gone Ghostal if this went through :td

[ShoogarBear]

Dunleavy is only in his third year. He definitely made a mistake by leaving college early, then going to a bad team where he probably hasn't been getting much good coaching, but I don't know why a lot of people have given up on him.

If the Spurs had gotten him, the worst case scenario is he's Hedo II (which is arguably not much different from Barry), and the best case scenario is a long term solution at the 3.

His contract is the only thing that would have given me pause.

[SoCalSpursFan]

Mikey D? Not sure he would have been a good addition...

I expected a lot out of him this year...picked him on most of my fantasy teams...yea...needless to say I am last in most of my leagues.

I blame it all on Mike D.

Dunleavy was just Vexler/Pasacrita speculation.

He's a reasonable guess since a lot of people thought he would get traded today and he didn't. I also speculated on Boki because he DID get traded and I would just love to see all the heads explode with Rasho, Beno, and Boki all on this team!!!.

I knew Que Gee was related to Brent Barry.

Well, I actually want JR :lol

No, I have no idea who it was for specifically, they just heard it was to the Hornets.

It better not come out that the Spurs were about to get JR Smith and then Rod Thorn baller blocked the Spurs AGAIN and came in and got another deal done with the Hornets instead.

Rod Thorn would be public enemy number one. JR Smith on the Spurs would have been a great piece for the future. Imagine a player with Kobe like potential.

:pctoss

Wasn't it the Hornets who got screwed on the Kobe deal?

Exactly.

P.S.

Where is Vlade when you need him?

[Peter]

I like Dunleavy. I don't like Dunleavy with 4 years and $40 mil left on his deal. I imagine the Spurs feel the same way.

If it was the Hornets, then the Spurs were probably looking to dump Barry for nothing so they'd get under the lux tax threshold. Then they could sign Spree or Thomas to be their 4th swing. To that end, I bet that Spree to SA is a sure thing if the Spurs can't get Thomas. At this point the cost of signing a vet player for the remaining 29 or so games plus the lux tax hit is not that great.

Thorn has hung on the Spurs' nuts before (ie Nonad).

[Leetonidas]

Just thinking about JR Smith with the Spurs makes me happy in my pants.

[Peter]

My guess is that it was Barry for Nachbar or Barry for a 2nd round pick in 2012.

[Leetonidas]

So it's pretty safe to say that unless we get Spreewell (which I actually think we will) or Tim Thomas, we're not aquiring anyone else?

Probably, unless someone else of value hits the waiver wires before March 1st.

[Peter]

Also, every indication is there that the Spurs are not enthused with Barry. Maybe it's not enough to lead them to sign a Sprewell for the remainder of the season plus incur the lux tax penalty, but double the vet min prorated for close to 1/4th of the season is not a huge expense. Given that his name has come up and judging by Pop's public comments, it does seem like he's on his way if they can't land Thomas. Trying to move Barry cements that, IMO. :hat

[Despot]

Man...Why do I feel so disapointed?

I wouldn't be. At best the Spurs were going to move Barry for Nachbar. More likely they were going to move him for nothing. Barry is better than nothing at this point.

I agree, I didn't really want anyone to get traded. On the hand, I still feel that this team needs help.

To me, the help the team needs is up front. The Spurs still don't really have anyone up front to consistently help TD on the glass. The closest is Mohammed. Now that Pop has him back in the starting lineup that might improve, but a Reggie Evans, for example, would have been quite nice.

[mookie2001]

clandestino said he heard from his friend who works at the hospital

[Despot]

It's like Pop has a rule. If the media finds out any details about a deal before it is inked, he nixes the deal.

[mookie2001]

or nurses with conservative friends^

i'm pretty sure we'll pick up someone (Thomas or Spree) soon, more then anything we just need to get healthy. If we get Manu, Tim and Horry at close to 100% we'll be fine, if horry or even manu isn't 100% by the playoffs it would be nice to have Thomas or Spree

Man, sorry, I might be in the minority here, but I am just disgusted by what I'm reading on these boards. I can't believe everyone here is clamoring for Sprewell and Thomas. It's like all the championships have made y'all spoiled and you forgot what it means to be a Spurs fan, and how WE'RE DIFFERENT than all the other organizations in sports.
Maybe I have a polyanna attitude toward the Spurs, maybe I'm naive, but I'd like to think that this organization places as much (if not more) importance to a player's character and his off the court behavior as his play on the court. I thought this organziation learned from its mistakes of the past, like Rodman.
I have to say that as a Spurs fan, I'm almost more proud of what our team represents than our on the court success. Our players don't act like clowns or jackasses after every made or missed basket, they don't rack up technicals, they don't get featured in controversial stories on ESPN, and for the most part, they take less money than market value to play here. Hell, we're even leading the charge to make the NBA a global league, which I love. My favorite sports article of all time was the one Ric Bucher wrote about our team prior to last season's playoffs,

because I think it summed up what it's like to be a Spur and what a priviledge it is to root for them. We have the best thing going in all of sports, even more so than the Patriots, because after we win championships, our players don't spend the next three months telling the media how humble and disrespected they are, and our coach doesn't criticize other teams' players on The Tonight Show.
Getting either Sprewell or Thomas would go against everything this organization stands for. First off, getting Sprewell would be a complete slap in the face to PJ. Sure, his public comments might say he's okay with it, but it's public posturing. And also, Spree is D-U-N done. He sucked last year. Second, Thomas is making 14 mil this year, but refused to play hard because he was unhappy with his situation. Just gross. And I've never been impressed with his play, either. I can't believe anyone, least of all us, would want these guys. If winning titles is more important to Spurs fans than anything else, I guess I'm not a real Spurs fan. To borrow a phrase from Larry Brown, I'd rather "win the right way."

Your outlook is certainly interesting, but it doesn't jive with what the current reality is. The Spurs are like any other team. The leadership will bring in players who they think can help the team win. That's been shown time and time again.

Pop has been trying to get Spree for years. Glenn Robinson, at the very least, is a criminal, wifebeater, and has traditionally been a malcontent. The team had no qualms there, and he ended up really helping. The team openly pursued Jason Kidd, another wife beater. Van Exel intentionally attacked a ref when he disagreed with a call, resulting in a long suspension. Pop had no trouble bringing him in.

Those are just some examples since the Rodman era. I'm sure that others here would be happy to provide additional examples.

The Spurs are just like any other team in that regard. They do what they feel is necessary to win and make money. David Robinson may have clouded your judgement in this regard, but don't be fooled just because the Spurs have had many, many great guys. The team will still pursue malcontents and criminals if it seems like it's in the best interests of the organization.

Since Jack beat up some fans at The Palace, do we have to give back the '03 title?
