Rockets Sign Brent Barry

[urunobili]

How mature of you.

chill man.. it's reverse psychology... i may be the one about to cry gonna really miss bones :skull

[wisnub]

Yeah, I was told yesterday that Barry was almost for sure headed to the Rockets. He was waiting for one last push from the Spurs ... but apparently it never came.

Thanks for what you did as a Spur, Bones.

Why the Spurs let Bonnes go? The difference between our initial offer and Houston's is not that great from what I heard...Spurs FO is ing stingy. As much as how old Barry is, last playoffs he scored 23 points against Lakers and almost won it. He still got his shooting.... Im really dissapointed....this year they work like (but i like Hill and Mason,they seem to be solid). RC!!!

So long Bones....I hope u find hapiness retiring in the same team as your brother...Barry will always be part of Spurs family

[kupogrey]

can you imagine, brent barry shooting the wide open threes rafer alston got last season??

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

If we're getting younger, fine, then embrace it. But if that piece of Finley comes back then RC and Pop should be fired.

[sabar]

Our 3-pt shooting is going to be a lot weaker this coming season.
Streaky Bruce and Manu and then unproven new players.

so where were you when Fin hit the 3 to send game 1 against the suns to OT?

[lefty]

So we keep Finley over Barry. WTF!

This really pisses me off.

Me too.

If Rockers are healthy........ watch out

Props to him for making the shot, but it was one shot. We shouldn't bring back a ty Finley because he made one shot.

[xtremesteven33]

PG-Parker/Hill/Vaughn
SG-Ginobili/Mason/Finley
SF-Bowen/Udoka/FA
PF-Duncan/Mahimni/Bonner?
C-Oberto/Thomas

if we can get Delfino (which probably is a long shot), ill be content

[sprrs]

so where were you when Fin hit the 3 to send game 1 against the suns to OT?

Where were you when he bricked jumper after jumper, and was pretty much a lay-up drill for the Lakers?

[Obstructed_View]

Yeah, might as well complete the makeover. Although I can see the Spurs bringing back Finley for "leadership" or "professionalism" reasons. If Finley is an opening night starter, Spurs fans will need a lot of alcohol next season.

When Finley is the opening night starter, the Spurs will benefit from the jump in beer sales.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

If they didn't bring Brent back, I can't see them re-signing Fin Dog....okay maybe I can, but I don't know that I'd agree with it.

The problem is if you read all the E-N articles about FA08 for the Spurs, they have continuously mentioned that Barry is talking with other teams (no mention of SA talking with him) and that the Spurs have discussed Finley returning with him and his agent.

If you take it at face value, that rotting piece of Michael Finley will be back.

[Obstructed_View]

Hey, maybe Jaren Jackson is available! He hit a big shot once.

[lefty]

SJaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaax

Come baaaaaaaaaaaaack !

[ploto]

And then there were none...

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

so where were you when Fin hit the 3 to send game 1 against the suns to OT?

Oh I'm sorry, Finley hit one shot once upon a time. Clearly that should trump his showing up one of every 10 games for the last three months of the 2007-2008 season...

Old codger is done. And we're going to bring him back because of Pop's stupid ass mancrush on the piece of trash.

[lefty]

Aaaaaargh

No more Beno pics

My eyes, my eyes

Piss off. He's a nice guy off the court, but he is a rotting piece of on the court.

If you can't handle the mental image, howabout old man in a nursing home? Or walking down the sidewalk with a walker? Or in a matador's outfit waving the red cape as his man blows by him to go in for a dunk or a layup. Or as a bricklayer, spackling the next brick as he shoots us into a double digit hole against the Lakers.

Excuse the out of me for calling a broken down, washed up old mofo what he is.

[timvp]

And then there were none...

ROFL @ Pacers. You never did acknowledge you lost that bet . . .

[baseline bum]

Me too.

If Rockers are healthy........ watch out

Everyone says that every summer.

you couldnt hold finleys jockstrap....if youre gonna go out and call a professional athlete a "rotting piece of " (who by the way is one of the classiest guys) because he cant make your sorry life feel any better....you NEED to get a life, and take things way to seriously....

Um, if you're getting bent out of shape over me calling him a rotting piece of , you're the one who is taking things way too seriously and needs to get a life.

So now we have to hold a guy's jock to criticize him? I guess we better shut down the forum then, that or line up to kiss all their asses because I don't think anyone here is hanging with any pro baller. Thanks for making a useless argument on his behalf though.

If Finley is a rotation player (or worse yet, starts for us) next year then you can stick a fork in the Tim Duncan era as far as championships go. And that would be a crying shame.

Wonder who initiated those talks? The Spurs might just be letting them know that they will keep Michael on the radar while they pursue other options. Nevertheless, I guess Barry's injury problems this season didn't help his cause but I'd MUCH rather have had Vaughn opt out than he. Ime is going to have to work the consistency of his jumper from behind the arc all summer and Mason will have to prove last year was not a fluke. If these two things take place I believe we might be able to stay afloat regarding the team's 3-point bench production...the ball perimeter ball movement will suffer somewhat for a little bit though.

look i understand ur "angry". but show some more respect. these are professional athletes who bust thier butt to make the team better.sure finley hasnt had a great year, and nobody minds people pointing that out, but its people like you who give internet sports blogging a bad name. and what i meant by saying "you couldnt hold finleys jockstrap" is you call him an "old man" and what not. that old man can whoop your a** in basketball.
