The Hornets will have a hard time bringing free agents to NO in my opinion.
I've been on the "resign Speedy" bandwagon since we lost him.
Let's get him back.

You can't be a and then go back to being a fresh schoolgirl. N.O. was shopping him for NOTHING this spring, destroyed his value, and now he's going to help them move up? Don't think so...
I do think that Speedy knows the score now and realizes that he can either backup on a team that has a chance to win a le or he can start for a team that is some distance away from playoff contention. It sounds like he's weighing that truth and considering which is the better course for him. I'd be all for him returning to San Antonio -- there would be no quicker (or better) combination of points in the league than Parker and Claxton.
I'm not so sure I understand the fascination that so many around here have for J.R. Smith. That the Spurs nearly dealt for him in mid-season doesn't mean that he's the best option available -- or even that it would have been a wise deal.
I woudn't call Barry nothing.
it is because he was almost a spur
I do not see the love for speedy or jackson
they were ok players but not great
one thing that bothers me about speedy is no jumpshot
if tony is off speedy does not help
beno can but if he is 3 point guard then his confidence will be gone again and he will be USELESS
I think we should leave the Hornets alone...just my 2 cents
Think of the time of the trade: he was almost LESS than nothing.
Yeah nothing wouldnt have made the game winning shot to get us out of the first roud
Nah, Lord Byron wouldn't take on Barry for three years if he didn't think he could help.
Barry for Smith could happen at any time now that the season has ended. Could be on draft night if the Hornets are unable to move up.
...or they could be discussing Claxton, in which case it couldn't happen until the FA signing period, mid July.
Of course, the Hornets may wait to see where the cap is set at before doing such a deal, if such deal is still possible.
We'll know in 6 days. I think if the draft comes and Smith isn't moved, he's as good as our's.
I'd be happier to keep Barry and trade Beno. Barry has been a solid backup PG, defender, shooter, and spaces the floor well. Beno has been shaky. I think he needs to go to a lottery team where he gets a lot of minutes, and become a solid PG. But it's not gonna happen here.
With Finley emerging as our top wing player off the bench, we don't need to keep Barry. Spurs have to get younger, more athletic and cheaper at that spot.
I like the idea of packaging Barry, Beno and whatever else required to acquire Speedy and Smith.
I understand the Mavs are "lusting" after Speedy too.
I agree. For everything that Barry does right, he does 4 things wrong. I believe he is a player that needs far more touches to be consistent. He'll never get them as a Spur. It took Finley some time to adjust to his role but I think he was finally getting it figured out late in the season. Speedy was a solid backup for SA and he only moved on after Pop encouraged him to take the chance to be a starter. He got screwed on that deal (through no fault of ours). I think Barry will follow the path of Turkoglu, he'll play better for another team that can give him his touches and overlook his screwups. I think we get a known commodity with Speedy.
He couldn't even do that. He said he started for about 5 minutes, and he realizes he made a mistake. He said publicly that he regrets not taking the Spurs' offer and staying here...and that if he has to come off the bench, he'd rather do it here.
Bring Back Speedy
exactly..they should take what is offered to them
I would LOVE to have Speedy back. To me he is the ideal 3rd guard in a championship rotation. Actually he is just an excellent guard to have in general.
But to me seems like a pipe dream. Not that Speedy wouldn't want to come back, but I just get the feeling it is unlikely. (Seems to good to be true in a sense).
if speedy wants to come back, i think the SA front office will love to have him back. again,the only reason he left is because he wanted the chance to be a starter. but its obvious that if he starts for any team, they will not be anywhere near the level of a championship contender. and speedy is not a bad player at all, he can play alongside tony parker, as he did with chris paul. im not sure that we can still get jr smith,but then again the trade only failed because it was submitted to the league just minutes after the deadline. PJ Brown wouldbe a good fit here. i mean,he did visit san antonio a couple of years ago. the same year that Jermaine Oneal,and T-Mac mentioned the spurs as places they wanted to play.he obivously wanes to play for a contender.
