Of those, who can best afford him? The chron article says the Spurs can pay the most (but it doesn't mention LA pursuing him). But if he clears waivers and is looking at the vet min - does it matter who can best afford him?
Does Manny's prediction of a multi-year deal come into play?
They only would pay the prorated portion of his salary where he is on their team, but his entire salary is used for computing the team's status with respect to the salary cap.
So your math is right in that Phoenix would only pay him 2.079 million, but the true cost to them with the luxury tax would be 2.079 million + his full salary for the year (5.5 or so million), for a total of about 7.6 million.
I was wrong earlier on the 11 mil number, but it's still a lot for a couple of threes off the bench.
Enjoy the FA honeymoon Brent(again), the second you resign you'll be the biggest bum in town again...
Well ok...Kurt Thomas will probably beat you out there by seasons end.
IF brent comes back, and gets healthy, who the heck do they deactivate?!!??!
You don't seriously think he's not coming back?
Oh christ, grow an upper lip.
ahhh so this is why the Nuggets stayed pat. Nene and Atkins will be in March and they are moving to get Barry
Nene/Barry/LK/Atkins/JR off the bench........ nice
I'm dreaming of course. Id love to have Barry in Denver
Can we use a trade exception to resign him?
Waive bonner and bring barry back!!!!!!
No need.
I don't believe so, since the exception can only be used during the Waiver period and we are not allowed to claim him off of Waivers.
Nice. I knew a team needed a $5.5 million slot or trade exception to pick him off waivers, but I forgot luxury tax was calculated at the end of the season, relative to the team's official salary cap figure.
Dude...if Barry goes to the Suns they'll win the NBA championship this season...that's just too many good bigs, and too many smart shooters and ball handlers to overcome. It's going to be more than just couple of threes off the bench...
You think about howfast Barry moves the ball, how easily he gets Duncan easy baskets, and how good he keys the fastbreak...now you imagine that added to Steve Nash, Amare Stoudamire, and Shaquille O'neal....and you can't double off him.
That team won't be stopped...I don't care what kind of D they play.
Likely Mahinmi.
Other options (assuming no injuries) would be Bonner/Horry (Uh, Bonner) or Stoudemire/Vaughn (toss up).
I'd think they'd deactivate Bonner. I wouldn't see this as a huge deal considering he continues to rack up the DNP CD's.
Whottt preparing us for his jumping onto the Sun's bandwagon.
Mahinmi isn't on the active roster.
Bonner would probobly be the one.
Pop only want a quickie tonight?
Quit being such a ing drama queen. , Jacque Vaughn could check Barry defensively. And you mean to tell me that the 'Stache is going to bench one of Bell or Barbosa (his only semi-competent perimeter defenders) in crunch time to trot Barry out there? Gimme a break.
In crunch time who are you proposing Barry guard? Parker, Manu, or Finley. The first two would clown him off the dribble, and Finley could take him into the post.
D'Antoni never was known for intelligence.
Houston is in the mix too.
I think the Suns will want him if only because he's been a real against him.....even if they don't play him, they'd like him to not be on our team...because that is the team he has killed consistently as a Spur.
On top of that, their GM, is similar to him and is the type of guy that will put a lot of value on a player like Barry.
They are definitely going to be interested in him...and you know, they play a style of ball that he excells at and enjoys playing.
I know what they'll try to do...I don't know what he'll do.
What the incentive to return here? To give assholes like TPark a reason to celebrate?
