Inside Source: Brent Barry is a San Antonio Legend

[timvp]

He's coming back home.

:smokin

[GINNNNNNNNNNNNOBILI]

Badarrse

[Taco]

sweet

[easjer]

Um, not to doubt your veracity or sources, but any more details or idea of when it will be officially announced?

You may have just made my day, for which SFIE thanks you.

[MoSpur]

Heck Yeah!!!!!

[Holt's Cat]

Well, good. Now on to #5.

[thispego]

[anjlbitz]

Mango Tree!!!

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

I should wait until I can arrange a meeting with Hal Holbrook at a parking garage to confirm, but for now...WHOOOOOO!

[td4mvp21]

Barry!!!! Fuck yeah

[ricketts]

CIA all along, oh and thanks Erin.

[ducks]

posted here first ofcourse

[timvp]

Um, not to doubt your veracity or sources, but any more details or idea of when it will be officially announced?No further info. Was just told Barry was staying by a source who has never been wrong before.

[usckk]

Omfg!!!!!!!!!!!

[Mr. Body]

The San Antonio Legends are another team, aren't they?

[Holt's Cat]

If it's who I believe it is, then yes, you can trust this source.

[Oh, Gee!!]

can't believe everybody's this thrilled about brent barry

[usckk]

If he just shoots one game winning 3-pointer in the playoffs, that would be well worth it, aka Steve Kerr like!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[rAm]

good news, team looks very complete now. Elson for Thomas? fuck yes

[CubanMustGo]

Carver is on the phone to Giracek as we speak, no doubt. Everyone knows that da_suns_fan is an undercover FO guy for the Suns.

[Das Texan]

CIA in full effect. Gotta love it.

[phyzik]

can't believe everybody's this thrilled about brent barry

Its not necessarily all about Barry, its about the major fucking steal we got with Kurt Thomas for freaking Elson and a draft pick.

[Solid D]

Is the source H-E-Buddy?

Sweet.

[Spurs Brazil]

Good news and the trade look GREAT now

[shelshor]

Good--now on to take care of the business of the rest of the regular season

[Mr. Body]

Crowd will go nuts the first time he plays.

[MoSpur]

Barry gives us that extra scorer off the bench, maybe another point guard, and an effective three-point shooter. I just hope he truly recovers from that calf injury.

[WildcardManu]

W00t W00t W0ot

[Sausage]

I pray to god that this is true. PLEASE.

[drpill]

Thrilled to hear this. Not getting Barry back would have put a sour note on this year's title run. Having him back will have to be a big morale boost for this team.

The Spurs are fucking stacked. If Barry gets healthy and Stoudamire continues to grow into his role, I'd take our bench over any in the league, easy.

[rAm]

Barry gives us that extra scorer off the bench, maybe another point guard, and an effective three-point shooter. I just hope he truly recovers from that calf injury.

we should give him a few extra weeks off as a thank you

[Radiosparks]

Its not necessarily all about Barry, its about the major fucking steal we got with Kurt Thomas for freaking Elson and a draft pick.

Thank you!

It's great to have a plethora of outsides shooters, especially at times when we have guys struggling from the perimeter.

[boutons_]

exactly, the calf injury is the big question mark, for Spurs or anybody.

But it will be good to have him back.

[duncan228]

Thanks for ending the drama as soon as you could timvp.
I'm thrilled. I think Barry is a perfect fit for this team.
They would have been okay without him but he brings some more veteren power going through the Playoffs.

[Ocotillo]

Nice.

[Budkin]

Fuck yeah Brent! We love you!!! :clap :clap :clap

You know, I've heard Spurs forum proprietors offer all sorts of big bluster before about having inside information from confidential, always right sources.

[FromWayDowntown]

And I'm still going to be a bit disappointed if my Brent as the Coyote deal doesn't get done.

[Holt's Cat]

This situation reminds me of a past conversation on the internets...


The San Antonio Spurs are about to unleash a SECRET WEAPON upon the rest of the league in the playoffs.



Yeah!!!! This is AWESOME.

[YODA]

why yes, TimVP, another $1000 vBookie would be great, thanks.

Any idea on a time line Kori? Days? Weeks?

[Bruno]

Very good news. :)

An additional info, coming from a Suns' insider :

http://www.realgm.com/boards/viewtopic.php?t=767376&start=12


Barry will not drag it out...since the Suns are asking him for an answer today. That way they have a couple days to decide if they want to bring anyone else it.

It looks like that Barry has made his choice very fast because of that. :spin

[Kori Ellis]

Any idea on a time line Kori? Days? Weeks?

My guess is later tonight or early tomorrow. But just a guess.

[Bruno]

ONMkAYaeOJM

[thebigchill]

I never doubted it for a sec. and frankly I'm surprised at how many people were actually worried. Come on guys, give our organization a lil more credit than that. I don't care what BS he says to the media, dude still had his nameplate over his locker. I just saw Erin at HEB and she agrees that the whole thing is just a hoot. No way he's missing out on a repeat and DYNASTY solidification to go to Phoenix. Maybe later on, like when he's ready to die. But as always it's great to hear "what dad would do". :smokin

[duncan228]

Thanks Kori.
The waiting is easier now. :)

[porscha]

You probably won't hear a confirmation for a while. Sorry.
last night's news when pop being asked about barry's decision ; he said WHAT'S SO HARD ABOUT IT?

why is it this still dragging?

[polandprzem]

I HAD A DREAM


:D

[Xylus]

Funny, because my sources are telling me that Barry is still fielding offers from the Washington Bullets and the Charlotte Hornets.

[tmtcsc]

If there was a God, I would tell him to fuck off right about now.


Hey Xylus,


Even if you had Barry, he wouldn't have been the difference for you. You guys will be lucky to get out of round 1. You will wind up in the bottom 3 of playoff positions.

Barry will be back for his usual 10- 13 min per game. Its great to have him but he's gravy.

[polandprzem]

I agree with Bruce he is a mango tree, he's got a yellow Tee ! :drunk

[Extra Stout]

Barry's work is not complete unless and until he strings alongs the Suns for another three weeks so that Giricek too signs somewhere else. This is a rare opportunity to really screw with another team off the court.

[spurs2007]

Xlus, remember this. Take note: The Suns picked up dead wait in Shaq, his promises are blah. He promised a turn-around in Miami and look what happened. He promised, "give me a little more time to understand the system and watch out." Watch out for what, his slow feet and heavy wait. The Suns are not run-and-gun anymore, they are run-and-gun dragging dead wait. Shaq is finished and needs to retire. Thank you Kerr for helping the Spurs out again.

[ancestron]

This is great news.

This is great news - I have been really nervous about this since Phoenix and more playing time might have looked really good to Barry.

[degenerate_gambler]

This is great news - I have been really nervous about this since Phoenix and more playing time might have looked really good to Barry.



i'm sure playing time was a factor and weighed on his mind...he's a ballplayer and wants to compete...obviously guys like him don't enjoy sitting on the bench.

but at the end of the day...comraderie/friendship you've built with your teammates, family that is settled and ultimately a better chance to win another ring outweighs the lack of minutes on the court at this point in his career.

well, that and a reported 3rd yr offered..

[VaSpursFan]

welcome home Brent! Thank you Presti!!!!

[Joe Schmoogins]

Excellent News... Brent you made the right decision... Welcome HOME!

Thanks for the info Timvp...

I would like to know what went on in Brent's mind. Was he actually considering leaving the team? Or was he just schooling Stackhouse in the art of Stackhousing. I like to believe the latter.

[nkdlunch]

Suns owned by Spurs once again

you know HEB will wanna work something around it..

[callo1]

can't believe everybody's this thrilled about brent barry

Brent being back in silver and black has more importance than meets the eye.

Brent can run the point if we need him to (great for a bigger lineup, and who knows if we need the extra offense since we really can't count on Stoudamire or Vaughn) and he knows all of the Spurs offensive sets. Bringing a player in to take his spot this late in the year wouldn't give that player much time to learn the inner working of Pop's system.

Back in '05 BB was $$ in the Suns series...how quickly people forget his contributions...remember those deep threes he and Rob were hitting?

I am thrilled that he is coming back. Great guy, excellent player.


WELCOME HOME BRENT !!!! :clap :clap :clap :clap

Weighing in on Barry
By David Thiessen | February 28th, 2008
E-mail | Print | Share

Where will Bones go?

First we heard that he would announce his decision on Tuesday, but Tuesday came and went without any news. Then we heard that he would announce on Wednesday. Now it is Thursday and Brent Barry still has not made a decision.

However, we know that he will end up in either Phoenix or San Antonio.

The draw of each team is apparent. Phoenix desires another three-point shooter and plays a wide open style that Barry could thrive in. He was never a great defender, so that wouldn’t be an issue. He would come in to provide another playmaker and shooter. San Antonio can provide familiarity. Barry already knows the offensive and defensive sets, the players and the community. There would not be a transition period like in Phoenix.

So what should he do?

Phoenix can provide more playing time and opportunity to score, so if that’s what he wants he should sign with the Suns. The Spurs, however, are better suited to win another championship. They’ve done it three of the past five years, eliminating the Suns twice in the process. So he should return to San Antonio if he thinks the Spurs have a better shot at a title, like I do.

San Antonio really makes the most sense. He does not have to learn anything new but can heal and return seamlessly to the Spurs lineup. His family is also in San Antonio and like most Spurs’ families, involved in the community. Don’t underestimate the power of his family. It is also important to consider his calf injuries. He won’t be able to play for another week at least, so there is no real harm in waiting to sign with the Spurs. Even if he could play in a week, he would still need some time to find his shot. Signing with San Antonio gives him three weeks to recover and come back at 100%.

The longer he waits, the better it is for the Spurs. Phoenix is rumored to have interest in Gordan Giricek if he is waived by Philadelphia. If Giricek is waived within the next couple days, it forces the Suns to decide if they want to wait on Barry and risk the chance of signing neither player. If Barry still has not announced a decision by the end of the weekend, I would bet that he will sign with San Antonio. Just a gut feeling.

Ultimately, I don’t think his decision will swing the West to Phoenix or San Antonio. Barry is a nice player but not one that will decide the West. If he decides to sign with the Suns, all Spurs fans should be thankful for his contributions to the team and the community and then wish him luck. Barry, by all accounts, is a respectable man and never shamed the organization in any way.

Oh ya, the other thing the Spurs lose if Barry signs with Phoenix, other than three-point shooting, are his hilarious commercials with HEB. Here are a few for your enjoyment.

[Kori Ellis]

If there was a link, the thread wouldn't be titled "Inside Source." :lol

Just expect more official word tonight or tomorrow morning.

If Barry still has not announced a decision by the end of the weekend, I would bet that he will sign with San Antonio. Just a gut feeling.

It's like Barry is standing up his date, for another one, on March 1st.

and Phoenix is forced to decide on a spare. What a jerk Barry is...laying low like that. :lmao

[phxspurfan]

start the Barry trade threads again (early for next season)!!

[AFBlue]

Good deal....

It'll be interesting to see how he's used when he comes back healthy. I'm guessing they'll put Bonner in street clothes, but I wonder how this will effect the rotation.

[pad300]

If there was a link, the thread wouldn't be titled "Inside Source." :lol

Hey Kori, does Mr Insider have any details on the contract? I assume vet. min, but how many years? Did he get 3 like some posters suggested he got put on the table? If so, are they all fully guaranteed, or does he or the team have options?

[Spurminator]

He's going to walk out of the locker room a la Willis Reed with a Spurs uniform on.

Okay, maybe that's against the rules. But it'd be cool.

[roycrikside]

If there was a link, the thread wouldn't be titled "Inside Source." :lol

Any chance they can announce it to the crowd right before tip-off and have Brent wave to everyone in a suit just to pump everyone up even more?

[romsho]

He's coming back home.

:smokin

Damn I hope you are right. I have a friend in the media who called me about an hour ago to say he was gone. His source works for the Spurs. I hope he got this one wrong.

He can doubt it if he wants. Nothing is guaranteed, I guess, until it's official with the league etc. We just throw information out here that we hear. Anyone can believe it or not.

FEBRUARY 16--In a blistering legal counterattack on her estranged husband, the wife of NBA star Jason Kidd has filed a lawsuit accusing the athlete of "years of physical abuse" and serial adultery. Joumana Kidd, who last month was branded an erratic spousal abuser by the New Jersey Nets guard, made her allegations in a counterclaim filed late yesterday in New Jersey Superior Court (a copy of the document can be found below). According to Joumana, 34, Kidd has engaged in extramarital affairs with "several different television reporters," as well as strippers in Arizona, Sacramento, Miami, Dallas and Indiana, a Nets season ticket holder, a Nets employee, and a cheerleader in New Orleans. Joumana also contends that she recently discovered a prepaid cell phone of his containing text messages and naked photos sent by various women. Joumana portrays Kidd, 33, as a sadistic binge drinker and excessive gambler who began beating her even before the pair's 1997 marriage. She claims that Kidd assaulted her while she was pregnant with the couple's first child and has struck her with everything from a large rock to a cookie. Once, after Kidd kicked her in the stomach causing blood to appear in her urine, Joumana alleges that he told her, "I don't give a f--k." She also claims that Kidd resorted to purchasing her expensive jewelry (a $585,000 pink diamond ring and a $550,000 diamond pendant) as a way to apologize for his marital infidelity. Joumana's counterclaim was filed in response to Kidd's January 9 divorce petition, which accused her of domestic violence and portrayed her as "increasingly controlling and manipulative." In January 2001, Kidd was arrested in Arizona for punching Joumana in the mouth during an argument. He later took an assault plea and was ordered to attend anger management classes. The couple has three children, whose names have been redacted from Joumana's filing by court personnel. Kidd, who was named this year to his eighth NBA All-Star team, will miss Sunday's game in Las Vegas due to a strained lower back. He is in the fourth year of a six-year, $99 million deal with the Nets.

All I have to say is that Barry never seemed like a guy who would join another team... he's all about team, and he's all about these guys, you can just tell.

I'm happily unsurprised to hear this news. :D

[RussN]

Any chance they can announce it to the crowd right before tip-off and have Brent wave to everyone in a suit just to pump everyone up even more?


That would be cool.

[hater]

Good job everyone involved keeping this operation in the DL. THe league will not have the balls to bring it up. I pronounce the mission a success.

this thread will self destruct in 10 hours

[T Park]

Doubtfull.

[CaptainLate]

Well they did win a ring in 2006...

Thanks to Wade, Manu and the Mavs. Was it really anything Shaq did? And now look at the Heat.

[ricketts]

dont know if its pertinent. just googled brent barry in the news and the first result was an article from the Phoenix tribune that said barry was not returning to SA. I clicked the link and its been removed, something tells me thats a good sign.

I'm sure there was some rumor which they decided to go on, only later to find out it was bogus. They had to re-tract their story.

agree, but the fact that it was retracted says to me that someone in phoenix knows they arent getting brent.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

I was the one who told timvp.
Looks like I was right, afterall. :smokin I'm surprised ESPN hasn't offered me a fulltimer.

Inside Source!

[T Park]

:lmao

Never doubt an Ellis.

[timvp]

Props to the source. The source specifically wanted SpursTalk to get the story first.

Thanks :tu

[Kori Ellis]

Never doubt an Ellis.

You can doubt us if you want :lol

I just thought it was funny that people were laughing at us for saying we had an inside source.

[T Park]

Thanks :tu


Very very nice to hear that :tu

The source reads this forum? Hmmm...one hopes they have a good sense of humor.

[Kindergarten Cop]

Thank you for breaking the news! SpursTalk is quickly becoming one of my favorite sites on the net!

[Budkin]

Props to the source. The source specifically wanted SpursTalk to get the story first.

Thanks :tu

That freaking rules... we can never thank you enough for running the best freaking sports forum on teh internets! Thanks Kori and LJ! :tu x 1000

Hopefully they know we don't all share the opinion on Bowen and others....

[duncan228]

Wow. That's really nice.
I'm glad ST gets the recognition it deserves.
Your source obviously knows the Spurs, and he/she obviously also knows what the best Spurs board is.

Props to ST. Kori and LJ deserve it.

So, that's how Pop decided to stop running 4down all the time. The source read my posts :tu

[timvp]

Truth be told, there were actually two sources. One source at about 11AM said he was 99.9% sure so I held off on the thread. But then a totally different source at about noon said it was 100%.

I still hesitated because "inside source" threads are kinda lame but one of the sources insisted SpursTalk get the scoop :lol

[loveforthegame]

Good to know Barry will be back. He'll be well rested and his 3pt shooting and ball handling will be huge off the bench.

[SpurOutofTownFan]

Come on guys... this was a done deal from teh very first day with all my respects.

- 2 rings with the Spurs
- Family already settled in SAn Antonio
- He would be called a traitor if going to Phoenix
- He's known around and is active in teh community
- He can win more rings with the spurs
- They would love to have him back
- They would wait for his recovery
- He knows the system already
- And so on

There's no money any other team can pay to him that would make him decide about any other team except the spurs at this point.

No brainer.

[bigfan]

Some good reading and laughs.

Man, thanks for posting the link with the Spurs HEB commercials. I live in Dallas and its about the only place in Texas without HEB. Ive lived all over the US where there are pro teams and yeah, some stars get big endorsements but to me these kinda silly ads show the Spurs for who they are; good guys who seem to enjoy each others company. I dont think Ive seen it anyplace else in the NBA or any other type of team sport. Sometimes I feel sorry that Tim, Tony or Manu dont get the huge nationwide endorsements but in the big picture of things I dont think they really give a damn. And as for Bones, you can just tell he loves doing them. Thanks.

She claims that Kidd assaulted her while she was pregnant with the couple's first child and has struck her with everything from a large rock to a cookie. Oncelink (http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/years/2007/0216073kidd1.html)

See, that part I believe, it explains why he has the face of a 30 year old

[NRHector]

God is great. God is GOOD. IMO. :hat
that is so fucken funny :lol and may the suns burn in hell

[Kori Ellis]

I thought she claimed Kidd threw french fries at her. I didn't know about the cookie.

[Dex]

Duncan
Parker
Ginobili
Bowen
Oberto
Finley
Horry
Barry
Udoka
Thomas
Stoudamire
Vaughn

That's a nice lookin' lineup for the playoffs.

[tinysands]

The paper reported that Barry will play for the veteran's minimum salary for the remainder of this season and next season with the Spurs, although league rules mandate that the Spurs must wait until March 21 to officially sign him.

[carina_gino20]

I remember reading about the Barry almost-trade first on SpursTalk. :lol

Now this. Great news. :tu

P.S. I actually visited SpursTalk more frequently in the past few days to hear about any Barry updates than the other news sites. :lol

[spursfan09]

Well it sucks to be super late. I found out during the Spurs/Mavs game. This is what happens when you have to go to work and school and gone 12 hours.... But I'm very happy he stayed. Shows alot of loyalty on his part, and now I want to cheer louder and harder for him at the games.

[bigfundamental21]

Great news! Barry belongs in a Spurs uniform. Now he just needs to get completely healthy and back in game shape by April.

[~Sweetmelody~]

Yes! :elephant
Husband kept saying he was coming back, but I was still worried. LOL

[polandprzem]

I woke up

I got what I wanted.

Now we can concentrate on calf and other stuff like that :)

[Streakyshooter08]

Great. The first site I look at for News in general is Spurstalk. Cool to have this forum. :tu

I really like the fact that Barry is playing here next year for the vet-min. That means the Spurs have actually 2 holes to fill. One is the backup SG and the backup PF (assuming Bonner won't help a lot) That leaves the Spurs with that lineup going into free agency:

TP/Vaughn
Manu/???/ Barry
Bowen/ Udoka
TD/???/ Bonner
Oberto/ Splitter

I would love if they manage to keep Thomas for the vet-min as well. It would be great to have him as a mentor.

[Ghost Writer]

I think his family had a lot to do with this decision and I am happy for it.


Oh, and that the Spurs give him the best chance at another title.

The thing I like is that he has another month to heal and rest!

To say nothing of the fact that it's now Francisco Elson and a 2009 #1 for Kurt Thomas -- what was a necessary deal for the Spurs might have actually become a theft.

[T Park]

I don't think there is any "Might" to it.

[thebigchill]

:lol Very funny and quite possibly true, but not nice :nope but VERY funny :clap

[Bruno]

The interesting thing to know that we will never know is :
What all that hesitating made to avoid collusion accusations or was Barry really torn between coming back to SA or going to another team ?

If everything was premeditated, CIA Barry is damn good. :smokin

[JPB]

Thanks Sam.

[urunobili]

Brent Fucking Barry Haters! whottt said that pop may have stole the idea out of stackhouse to make this happen... i fucking agree... CIA good good.. but dunno about this one though

[timvp]

[Brutalis]

BB called me. Said he is taking over Robert's role on the bench. Wasting our time and money until like 10 seconds to play or some jibber jabber.

[T Park]

Yeah if this was CIA, Pop and Barry have reached a new all time level.


I bet pop and Barry are having a big laugh over this.

Pops probobly so proud he'll brag about it at his reunion parties for decades.

Good luck bump.

Time to add to that legendary status tonight, Barry :smokin

[T Park]

Bag another 6 threes tonight Brent :tu

[GrandeDavid]

Oh, shite, another old guy. Just kidding, we love you, Bone!

[tp2021]

When Barry plays his guts out tonight, he will skyrocket up my favorite players list. when Manu plays his guts out tonight, he will cement his position there.

[SenorSpur]

What a surprise playoff performance in Game 4. Who knew?
