What we do isn't a big fucking secret (excuse my language). Everyone knows our offense, our defense and our players strengths and weaknesses. The only loss here is a proven player who still has it. That is the true loss, not some fucking covert opt info he has.

plus we need him to MC the Spurs Championship Celebration at the Alamodome next year :)

Re: I guess Barry's a free agent
I also want another man-love hug with Stern. That was classic.

No he wasn't. Anyone with half a brain knew he was returning to the Spurs.

Re: I guess Barry's a free agent
I really hope this is true. Barry would be a perfect addition for Houston. He won't put us over the top, but since he can still hit the 3 and facilitate the offense he will fit into Adelmans system quite nicely.

Not that I have much faith in McDonald's reporting, but if this is accurate, then Stat Geek is broadcasting to the world that he's tampering with a Spurs' player.

Re: I guess Barry's a free agent
I say, make KT the priority of our FAs. Then go after Barry. If Barry can't be had, then go after Horry. Let the rest walk.

Re: I guess Barry's a free agent
Better not be true. He's the only old guy I want to see back. ha...

I don't agree with your assessment. I don't think that's the way it will play out. While you may be right that Pop doesn't use a whole lot of trickery, he still has tedencies, tendencies he may not even be aware of but someone that has watched him coach for a 4 years will be...furthermore, neither teams, nor the players that play for them, are in the habit of telling other teams and players how to stop them...no one volunteers their weaknesses. And no one recognizes a teams plays as well as a player who has played for them.
For proof of this, well, Avery Johnson pretty much took the Spurs apart at the seams based on inside knowledge from his days with the Spurs...4 or 5 years after he had last played for them....IOW, the situation is not as simple as you think it is.

Re: I guess Barry's a free agent
I hope Barry will resign. However even if he doesn't, I still don't want Finley back. However Pop will probably not have a choice.

For some reason I don't give a shit.

Had a feeling that big game against LA would draw attention.

Re: I guess Barry's a free agent
What does Morey have against the Spurs? It's like he's made it his personal mission to make life as bad as possible for the Spurs. Perhaps he's pissed at Dennis Lindsey and wants to make him lose his job. Perhaps he wants to prove to Lindsey that Lindsey wasn't important at all to the Rockets ... and what better way than to take down the Spurs.
Oh well, I guess it's a compliment to have the Rockets biting at the Spurs' ankles.

No, we have his bird rights. We don't spend exception money on him. We ask him (if he has actually opted out, I have seen no convincing report one way or another) to talk to us after he has negotiated something close with another team. If we aren't going to be driven into lux tax or an unreasonable length contract, we match then...

I think Lindsey's feeding them information. Seems like they always know what the Spurs are doing since he arrived.

Seems that way. Either Morey is showing that Lindsey is worthless by making these moves, or Lindsey is doing some undercover work for the Rockets and giving them the inside scoop on everything that is Spurs.

i dont think so. he was traded and then cut. then we signed him to a new contract. bird rights would have been terminated when he was cut by seattle.

It's a negative. Especially a player that's as offense oriented as Barry...it was the Laker D that beat us.

That's because I wasn't worried about them last season...and in case you didn't notice, I was right to not be worried about them.
