Bring Brent Back!
Hopefully Brent comes back.
Sounds like a prearranged deal. Stern should look into this.
@ Mavs fan getting jealous.
nothing to look into. Barry kept his mouth shut, unlike the caveman
The team that claims a player off waivers only has to be able to FIT the player under their salary.
The actual price they will have to pay is a pro-rated salary of about $1.5 million. There are quite a few teams that could use a sharpshooter that will only cost them $1.5 mil or $3 million if luxury tax is incurred.
don't be mad because stack is a ing re ......
Wouldn't it work out to about a $4 million hit for the Suns?
The Spurs paid 51/82 of his contract for the 51 games he was on the roster
Therefore, Seattle's share is 31/82 of $5.5 million = $2.079 million
If Phoenix picks him off of waivers with the trade exception, they pay that remaining 31/82 of the salary + a dollar for dollar luxury tax:
Therefore, Phoenix's total = 2 * $2.079 million = $4.16 million
A prearranged deal? With the other 30 NBA teams?
No one stopping you guys from picking him up off waivers...go for it...or STFU about it.
Enjoy the rest Brent. Keep quiet, heal up and see you in a month.
Don Harris just stated that GS and Phx could pick him up while he is in the 48 hour "waived" limbo.
Com'n Brent
If not for the Spurs, do it for the HEB Crew (Tim, Manu, Bruce)
I believe!
Rockets among teams looking to pursue Barry
By JONATHAN FEIGEN

With the ink barely dried on two trade-deadline deals, the Rockets on Thursday began moving towards two more deals they hope to complete.
The Rockets plan to begin a pursuit of guard Brent Barry, who was dealt to the Seattle SuperSonics on Wednesday but will be released, a person with knowledge of the Rockets’ intentions said on Thursday. The Suns and Spurs are also expected to chase Barry. The Spurs can offer the largest contract, having not spent their mid-level exception, but Barry would have to sit out 30 days before returning to the team that just traded him.

No team would have to pay 11 million for brent. They'd have to pay the prorated amount of his salary and a then penalty for that amount. A good portion of the season is gone so its probably more like 5 million for the rest of the season.
Thats still a steep price to claim him off waivers but its not 11 million.
if he comes back, does that make the spurs even dirtier?
We sent them 2 million dollars and a first round draft pick. We're all square.
No I don't think Pheonix wants to spend $11 mil, and I think they'd balk at $4 mil.
My point was that it's a ballsy move if it was pre-arranged, because of the risk involved. Nevertheless, well worth the risk.
I'd LOVE to have Brent back - he's one of my alltime favorite Spurs players. I hope he comes back - it would make the Thomas deal fantastic. Doesn't mean it's not inherently risky.
has brent talked about the trade at all? what were his comments on it? any interview?
I don't see Barry going to Houston...he wants to actually win something this year.
He won't go to Dallas because he doesn't like Stackhouse.
LA, SA or Phoenix...
You are probably right. I apologize for the error.
not that i am aware of. which does lead some credence to the rumors that he would like to return.
if he wants to come back, the best thing he could possibly do is not talk to anybody and just sit on his hands and heal up for the next month.
I don't think so...and that does sound promising for his return to the team...either that or he's distraught over being traded and waived...Barry doesn't seem like the type that gets distraught real easy...he's been traded before.
Besides..it's not like he's being thrown on the scrapheap...pretty much every contending team is going to want to sign him.
The question we were asking in chat tonight...did he even go to Seattle?
No.....CIA at work.
