I wouldn't necessarily read anything Barry opting out. As it stood, he was guaranteed a minimum salary for one year. He can certainly get more in free agency as well as two years instead of one. I think he ends up with the LLE for two years, which would end up being about $4 mil guaranteed over two years. That's a lot better than $1.3 mil or what not over one with probably another minimum year or close to it if he re-signed for another year. Plus, it does give him some options with respect to where he plays next year, of course.

Barry opted out so he wouldn't be trade bait once again. I think he wants to stay here but would go to Houston and play without moving his family. He would be a very valuable bench player especially[hopefully] if Finley is let go. Conversely if Barry leaves Finley becomes more valuable as a sub. My guess is than Finley will want more than the vets minimum which is all he's worth. He's used to 18 mill a year and taking a tenth of that to come off the bench will be hard for Finley to swallow. Barry has his father's basketball IQ. We need to make an offer he can't refuse.
