If he is claimed off waivers is the team that claims him on the hook for his full caphit or only pro-rata for the balance of the season?

I'll tell you when it happens. I'm quite sure you'll tell me if it doesn't.
Come on back home Brent
No one is going to pick him up off waivers. I believe you'd have to be under the cap for the amount of his contract to do that anyway and any team that would want him will be over the cap.
I'm not worried about anyone claiming him off waivers either.
I don't know if I"m happy about this or not yet. I'll only be happy if he comes back. Should he go to the Suns I'm going to be extremely upset.
At this point I wish he had just stayed a Sonic. The devil you know, The devil you know.
this isn't going to happen
and if it does, why would Barry want to come back to the team that just shipped him unless everything has already been agreed on
Quinn can finish the school year.
Sweet Barry is going to make it back here...It's just the most probable solution, so long as Barry likes it in SA, and he doesn't mind the pay cut. I hope we will always have a spot in the franchise for him...whether it's in the front office, in broadcasting, or on the court.
Incorrect.
How is that incorrect? You can't just add numbers to the cap...
Would he really be getting a pay cut? Won't the Sonics have to pay Barry the remainder of his '07/08 salary if nobody claims him off waivers? Then he would be free to sign for veterans' minimum (and would still end up making more than what he would have had he remained on the Spurs' roster initially). Please correct me if I'm wrong, because I am by no means a cap expert and I did not stay in a Holiday Inn Express last night.
I actually believe that he was correct.
EDIT: If this is the case, there are only 3 teams currently under the salary cap (Atlanta, Memphis, and Charlotte) and only 2 could afford the remainder of his salary (Memphis and Charlotte).

To claim someone before they clear waivers you are accepting the remainder of the contract. Meaning you have to have room under the cap because its not a vet minimum salary, and you will owe the prorated remainder of the original contract.
On Edit- And you are right I don't think he will be getting a pay cut to come back here. I think the sonics owe him the rest of his contract.
LMAO , you're acting like it's a done deal
Why would Barry want to go somewhere else? He as a free agent chose the Spurs. He sought us out originally. That was before he and his family had established themselves in South Texas. What has changed about that situation?
My Rockets are interested but I don't see why he would pick us over y'all. How much PT would he be getting if he came back to SA? That may be the only thing that we could offer more of.
we can also offer another ring, even if it's not this year.

A trade exception could do it too.
Phoenix.
Suns will make a run at him, too bad
Is this a lock like Artest's being traded?
Artest will be traded, just you wait. Just because the trade deadline is past doesn't mean he won't be traded .... oh wait. Never mind.
They just said on the TNT Post game show that Brent Barry most likely will go back to the spurs
