Suns owned by Spurs once again
Excellent News... Brent you made the right decision... Welcome HOME!
Thanks for the info Timvp...
I would like to know what went on in Brent's mind. Was he actually considering leaving the team? Or was he just schooling Stackhouse in the art of Stackhousing. I like to believe the latter.
Suns owned by Spurs once again
Some good reading and laughs.

Run and grunt offense !
The city of phoenix is now jumping off the roof of University of Phoenix stadium
Hey, if they can retire Avery Johnson's jersey, anything is possible.
Well they did win a ring in 2006...He promised a turn-around in Miami
It is I, Brent Barry.
Link or ban.He's coming back home.
So do that mean the HEB commericals are back
*stops holding breath*
.....*waits patiently for new HEB commercials*
you know HEB will wanna work something around it..
Brent being back in silver and black has more importance than meets the eye.
Brent can run the point if we need him to (great for a bigger lineup, and who knows if we need the extra offense since we really can't count on Stoudamire or Vaughn) and he knows all of the Spurs offensive sets. Bringing a player in to take his spot this late in the year wouldn't give that player much time to learn the inner working of Pop's system.
Back in '05 BB was $$ in the Suns series...how quickly people forget his contributions...remember those deep threes he and Rob were hitting?
I am thrilled that he is coming back. Great guy, excellent player.
WELCOME HOME BRENT !!!!
Link?
If kori says it, Then its a done deal. Sometimes you just can give out sources, but if its good enough for Kori, its good enough for me. WELCOME BACK BRENT.
WOOHOOOO
eva has a HEB commercial
Read the thread.
It's an un-named inside source who has never been wrong.
Kori and timvp have said it.
That's all most of us need.
It's really crappy too
She does? Youtube? Sucks for us college guys away from home that we can't see this stuff more often...

Weighing in on Barry

Where will Bones go?
First we heard that he would announce his decision on Tuesday, but Tuesday came and went without any news. Then we heard that he would announce on Wednesday. Now it is Thursday and Brent Barry still has not made a decision.
However, we know that he will end up in either Phoenix or San Antonio.
The draw of each team is apparent. Phoenix desires another three-point shooter and plays a wide open style that Barry could thrive in. He was never a great defender, so that wouldn’t be an issue. He would come in to provide another playmaker and shooter. San Antonio can provide familiarity. Barry already knows the offensive and defensive sets, the players and the community. There would not be a transition period like in Phoenix.
So what should he do?
Phoenix can provide more playing time and opportunity to score, so if that’s what he wants he should sign with the Suns. The Spurs, however, are better suited to win another championship. They’ve done it three of the past five years, eliminating the Suns twice in the process. So he should return to San Antonio if he thinks the Spurs have a better shot at a le, like I do.
San Antonio really makes the most sense. He does not have to learn anything new but can heal and return seamlessly to the Spurs lineup. His family is also in San Antonio and like most Spurs’ families, involved in the community. Don’t underestimate the power of his family. It is also important to consider his calf injuries. He won’t be able to play for another week at least, so there is no real harm in waiting to sign with the Spurs. Even if he could play in a week, he would still need some time to find his shot. Signing with San Antonio gives him three weeks to recover and come back at 100%.
The longer he waits, the better it is for the Spurs. Phoenix is rumored to have interest in Gordan Giricek if he is waived by Philadelphia. If Giricek is waived within the next couple days, it forces the Suns to decide if they want to wait on Barry and risk the chance of signing neither player. If Barry still has not announced a decision by the end of the weekend, I would bet that he will sign with San Antonio. Just a gut feeling.
Ultimately, I don’t think his decision will swing the West to Phoenix or San Antonio. Barry is a nice player but not one that will decide the West. If he decides to sign with the Suns, all Spurs fans should be thankful for his contributions to the team and the community and then wish him luck. Barry, by all accounts, is a respectable man and never shamed the organization in any way.
Oh ya, the other thing the Spurs lose if Barry signs with Phoenix, other than three-point shooting, are his hilarious commercials with HEB. Here are a few for your enjoyment.
If there was a link, the thread wouldn't be led "Inside Source."
Just expect more official word tonight or tomorrow morning.
It's like Barry is standing up his date, for another one, on March 1st.The longer he waits, the better it is for the Spurs. Phoenix is rumored to have interest in Gordan Giricek if he is waived by Philadelphia. If Giricek is waived within the next couple days, it forces the Suns to decide if they want to wait on Barry and risk the chance of signing neither player. If Barry still has not announced a decision by the end of the weekend, I would bet that he will sign with San Antonio. Just a gut feeling.
and Phoenix is forced to decide on a spare. What a jerk Barry is...laying low like that.
start the Barry trade threads again (early for next season)!!
Good deal....
It'll be interesting to see how he's used when he comes back healthy. I'm guessing they'll put Bonner in street clothes, but I wonder how this will effect the rotation.

Hey Kori, does Mr Insider have any details on the contract? I assume vet. min, but how many years? Did he get 3 like some posters suggested he got put on the table? If so, are they all fully guaranteed, or does he or the team have options?
