Good shooter, surprised to see him go so soon, you'd think a good shooter could stick around a little longer, even if he isn't as athletic as he used to be.

HOUSTON - NBA sources told FOX 26 Sports Thursday guard Brent Barry will not be back with the Houston Rockets for the upcoming season.
Barry will either be traded or he will retire with the Rockets expected in that case to buy out his contract which had one year remaining.

Not surprising. Barry is pretty much done. He put up career lows in points and field goal percentage last year.
good for Rockets. they have young guys that should have the minutes.
He probably knew this was his last season anyway and expected the buyout.
Hmmm. Imagine that. The honeymoon is over after just one season.
I wonder if his brother Jon will still be able to exercise that "supposed" lifetime set of perks he was offered in exchange for his help in securing his younger brother's services. I believe the perks included a lifetime membership to the exclusive Rockets Executive club and carte blanche attendance at any and all future Rockets home games.
I say bring him back to SA. he doesnt have to be a a player, could be a player coach.... Teach the young guys....
After Rick and Jon, the third Barry to end his NBA career with the Rockets.
Well we still need him for the HEB commericals...... Mango Tree
Long live the Barry Clan..............................................
I am still waiting for him to apologise for the comments he made about Bruce Bowen.
I missed it. What did he say?
He said Bruce played dirty. It was anything awful but I felt the comment was unnecessary and I did not appreciate Brent making it.
He's done. he should replace Kenny on TNT
he should be a great TV commentator i agree hater ^^^
How the heck old is Barry by now, anyway?
Didn't we figure out that Barry was kidding or the quote was taken way out of context?
I didn't hear that but I am glad to go with that conclusion.
I always liked Brent Barry.
All's forgiven.
And since all is forgiven, might as well have Brent Barry get on the local broadcasting rotation- where his humor will be most appreciated.
can you imagine Sean Elliott and Brent Barry doing the commentary together. That would be awesome...... Best on Tv i bet
That would be cool.
Sean and Bruce would be an excellent team also, I think.
Spurs surely made the right choice by re-signing Finley for $5M/2 years instead of Barry for $4M/2 years.
Barry was done when he left the Spurs but I remember many complaining that we should have kept him over Finley at the time.
I think the Spurs made the right choice.
Best of luck to Barry though.
I would've lost that bet had you given it to me last year at this time.
Yeah not suprising, if you watched him last year he had nothing left, he was just straining himself out there, his legs were and are shot.
