Barry comes to Suns - blows kisses to the crowd at AT&T as he hits a 3 with seconds remaining in Game 7 to give the Suns a slim lead.
Oh wait... I'm just waking up from my 13 year nightmare of Mario Elie.
i didnt make that up
houston chronicle reporting that the Rockets are going to pursue Barry:
Rockets continue looking, even after making two trades
Guards Barry, Jones on radar; Green comes home
By JONATHAN FEIGEN

With the ink barely dry on two trade deadline deals, the Rockets on Thursday began moving toward two more players they hope to add.
The Rockets plan to begin pursuit of guard Brent Barry, who was dealt to the Seattle SuperSonics on Wednesday but will be released, a person with knowledge of the Rockets' intentions said Thursday. The Phoenix Suns and San Antonio Spurs, who included Barry in the deal that landed them Kurt Thomas, also are expected to chase Barry. The Spurs can offer the largest contract, having not spent their mid-level exception. But Barry, who is expected to be sidelined two to three weeks with a calf injury, would have to sit out 30 days before returning to the team that just traded him.
"There are several guys that look like they might shake loose," Rockets general manager Daryl Morey said. "We have the ability to offer as much as most teams, unless they kept their mid-level. We used ours this year. I think we're a pretty attractive situation. That was a big part of it.
"These deals (completed Thursday) were not contingent on that. We think these are the right deals. But the deals in combination actually created enough room in case there is someone who can help us, we can do it."
The Rockets also plan to sign former Washington and Denver guard/forward Bobby Jones to a 10-day contract. Jones was waived by the Nuggets on Jan. 7. Signing him would provide a 6-7 defender for matchups in which the Rockets would be small off the bench after trading Bonzi Wells, along with Mike James, to New Orleans for guard Bobby Jackson.

Still no cap room. It's an important distinction.
Barry is not coming back to taco city...
The 30-day wait makes him inelegible for a playoff spot..
Sorry mofos!
He might not come back, but that is a incorrect statement.
how is that?
Explain it mr know it all!
Read this sentence very closely:
If a player is waived after March 1, he is ineligible to be included in the playoff roster of any team that signs him for the remainder of that season.

It was written by a Laker fan.
He's going to the Suns...
March 1st is the day playoff rosters are set.
He is elegible to come back to the team that traded him after 30 days.
That would be March 21st.
Sorry mofo

So a Laker fan is more knowledgable than a Spurs fan?
More knowledgeable than a certain sunfan.
Do you actually understand the sentence?
Anyway ...
Is this in the official NBA rules?
A fan website is not a reliable source.
I thought you knew that!
Are you really that stupid? Or just new to the internet...and basketball?
Actually the site I linked is also linked on the NBA Players' Union site.

Now tell me if you understand what this sentence says:
If a player is waived after March 1, he is ineligible to be included in the playoff roster of any team that signs him for the remainder of that season.
why feed the troll? its obvious you're talking to either a dip , a brand new phoenix fan or the common mixture of both.
Anyway just keep hoping he's coming back...
A sharp shooter is always coveted in the NBA and he's is probably mad he was traded.
Stay in school.
sorry for the typo you get the idea...
I really don't.
Nice try, though. I guess.
Barry coming back with Spurs is the most logical solution for him.
There are only two factors that could make him decide to go elsewhere : another team giving him a lot of money and/or Barry having bad feelings toward Spurs.
The 30 days wait isn't a big deal in Barry's case because of his injury.
I'm quite sure Spurs would welcome him back in 30 days. It's up to him to make his choice. Even if he goes to Mavs, Suns or Lakers, I wouldn't have any hard feelings towards him.
It depends why he goes... I'd be a bit pissed if he goes there when the Spurs offered a similar deal although it is still understandable that being on the Spurs was never pleasant for him due to the FO's frequent efforts in trading him. You could say that the FO was never loyal to him...
I'd love to have him back though. Hopefully, his friendship with the players is strong enough to offset whatever bad feelings the operations side may have instilled!
at Louis getting owned. Again.
I would. If he goes to one of our top rivals...he should expect to get some heat for it. That's asking for it...no free pass for that. There are 30 teams in the NBA, about 4 or 5 of which a player who has played for the Spurs should avoid....
Easily seen...
Dallas
Utah
Houston
LA
Phoenix(as of last season and the bad blood)
With the exception of Phoenix...these are old and traditional rivalries...same as it ever was. And no player that played for the Spurs should be surprised if he gets a bad reaction if he goes to one of those teams....it'll be personal, and the player is the one chosing to make it personal. Call the Celtics if he doesn't want it to be personal...they could use the depth anyway.
It's one thing if the team sucks(still bad though)...but it's entirely another when a championship is on the line.
Championships are hard to win...and any player choosing to stand against his old mates alongside their bitterest rivals, and take keep them from getting a precious championship...well he's a head.
You go to the enemy you are a traitor....and traitors get it the worst....because it's personal...and a betrayal.
Sure Brent has a right to play where he wants...and we have a right to hate on him for choosing certain destinations over others.
That's assuming that the Spurs do make him an offer...
And they'd be dumb not to do it... However, it would really suck if they got him back just to sit him on the bench, as Pop is well known to do...
