Monroe: Ex-Spur Brent Barry ponders options, including the Spurs

[Dex]

Barry is gonna wait until 7:59:45PM to make the call, just to make San Antonians sweat.

Frankly, if a decision is out by today, I'll be happy. Was better than I was hoping for.

[FromWayDowntown]

This would be absolutely ridiculous, but there was a commercial flight that left San Antonio at about 6:30 this evening and it is scheduled to arrive in Phoenix before 8 p.m. MST.

I'm sure that Sarver, renowned for his open pockets, would have at least sent a private plane to bring in his new addition, right?

[T Park]

I still have 7 55

[T Park]

Honestly Im shocked nothings been leaked.

[timvp]

where will it be reported?

Probably Ludden at Yahoo. Or the PHX newspapers.

[porscha]

Barry was to first decide on Monday but said he needed until Tuesday. On Tuesday he said give him one more day. This morning he said he'd tell teams at 8.

Here we are. I don't know if he's going to push it back for a third time or the decision hasn't hit the media yet.

Or perhaps Barry is in PHX and it's not 8PM there yet .........

[T Park]

Im gonna say that hes calling Phoenix and SA at this time, and then there will be an announcement later tonight.

To be fair, I thought that part of pushing things back to Tuesday had to do with the fact that he hadn't technically cleared waivers yet.

[stxspurs]

Its looking more like Kramer and the midget.

If Phoenix was on his way to Phoenix, I think something would've leaked.

Like someone saying "I see Brent Barry on a phoenix Airplane, Im gonna call a friend"
Then the domino effect.

Yeah that's what I thought at the time too but supposedly he was almost ready to pick a team ... and Monday was the day the Spurs upped their offer.

So who knows.

Actually reminded me more of those old DBZ cartoons I watched as a kid where they would do rock-paper-scissors to decide who gets to fight first.

No, I understand those points. It just made some sense that he couldn't make an announcement on Monday on the off chance that some other club might actually claim him off waivers.

That would have made for an interesting couple of days, too.
