See above. If he's claimed off waivers he either goes or retires. If he clears waivers, anywhere is available.
That's been answered several times already.
Not really.
Sorry, but I think we're in good shape here. the Lakers, Suns, and Mavs are all over the luxury tax right now.
That means Brent Barry becomes an almost 11 million dollar player for them due to the luxury tax (dollar for dollar). I have a hard team seeing any of those three teams ponying up for him given that.
welcome back brent !

54. What are waivers?
It's a temporary status for players who are released by their team. A player released between August 15th and the end of the regular season stays on waivers for 48 hours. A player released at any other time stays on waivers for seven days. During the waiver period other teams may claim a waived player. If more than one team tries to claim the player, the team with the worst record gets him. If a player on waivers is claimed, the new team acquires his existing contract and pays the remainder of his salary. There is also a fee of $1,000, payable to the league office, for claiming a waived player.
A team can claim a waived player only if one of the following is true:
The team is far enough under the salary cap to fit the player's entire salary.
The team has a Disabled Player exception for at least the player's salary (see question number 19).
The team has a Traded Player exception for at least the player's salary (see question number 69).
The player's contract is for one or two seasons and he is paid the minimum salary.
If no team claims a waived player, he is said to have "cleared waivers." The player may sign with a new team of his choice, and the player's prior team continues to pay the guaranteed portion of the terminated contract (see question number 90 for more information). The player's salary with his new team is a matter of negotiation. Few players are actually claimed while on waivers, since the team claiming a waived player inherits his entire contract. It is far more common for teams to wait for the player to clear waivers, and then sign him to a much smaller (even minimum salary) contract.
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.
If a team trades a player and the player is waived by the receiving team, the player's original team cannot re-sign that player for 30 days (during the season) or 20 days (during the offseason) following the date of the trade.
I'd say Brent has a fairly good chance to be back with the Spurs. Nice move by the Spurs, trade for Kurt Thomas, and since Barry is injured anyway, let him take the month off and resign.
ok so after 7 days if no one picks him up he becomes a free agent???
48 hours I think.
After that, he can sign with anyone.
But has to wait 30 days to sign with the Spurs.
Here's the deal...if the Sonics bought him out and he turns down other offers it will reak of collusion and reflect really badly on all parties involved...
If they put him on waivers other teams can't say jack because they were given a chance to claim him...if they really wanted him.
Works for me...
No, 48 hours.
No, 48 hours. He can sign as a FA after that with any team except the team that traded him origninally.
"If a team trades a player and the player is waived by the receiving team, the player's original team cannot re-sign that player for 30 days (during the season) or 20 days (during the offseason) following the date of the trade."
if suns use their trade exeption to claim him off waivers can Barry say no thanx?
so by saturday night if no one picks him up he can just wate the next 20 whatever days and come back .... i think i understand this now . It looks like he will be back.
But won't we have to sign him after March 1st? Meaning he's ineligible for the playoffs?
No, he can't.
But, there is no way that Phoenix will pay $11M for Barry to make sure that he doesn't resign with the Spurs.
Nice move!!! i finally understand now, including the timing of the waive.
Long live CIA Pop!
Is it a 30 day wait to sign, or can he sign with the Spurs, but have to wait 30 days to play???
Barry was waived before March 1.
This topic has been covered in other threads - as long as the player is actually waived March 1st, he can sign with any team before mid April and still play for that new team in the playoffs.
Everyone is talking about Barry coming back to the Spurs. Even the Minesota comentators said it.
the good thing is that it is perfectly legal. Barry please come back!!!
It's still a risky proposition given that a team could pull him off waivers, and that he is no obligation to resign with the Spurs.
A risk I am willing (and clearly the Spurs were willing) to take to fill a gaping void.
Hmmm...good point.
Anyone know the rules here?
Edit: NM...I see it's been answered.
i have a feeling some team is gonna pick him up...brent is too good of a shooter to be passed on
I thought it said signed
Anyway hopefully no one will pick him up...
I'd be stunned if Barry weren't back as a Spur this year. It's fairly clear he's coming back.
Like who?
