Inside Source: Brent Barry is a San Antonio Legend

[loveforthegame]

Good to know Barry will be back. He'll be well rested and his 3pt shooting and ball handling will be huge off the bench.

[SpurOutofTownFan]

Come on guys... this was a done deal from teh very first day with all my respects.

- 2 rings with the Spurs
- Family already settled in SAn Antonio
- He would be called a traitor if going to Phoenix
- He's known around and is active in teh community
- He can win more rings with the spurs
- They would love to have him back
- They would wait for his recovery
- He knows the system already
- And so on

There's no money any other team can pay to him that would make him decide about any other team except the spurs at this point.

No brainer.

Some good reading and laughs.

Man, thanks for posting the link with the Spurs HEB commercials. I live in Dallas and its about the only place in Texas without HEB. Ive lived all over the US where there are pro teams and yeah, some stars get big endorsements but to me these kinda silly ads show the Spurs for who they are; good guys who seem to enjoy each others company. I dont think Ive seen it anyplace else in the NBA or any other type of team sport. Sometimes I feel sorry that Tim, Tony or Manu dont get the huge nationwide endorsements but in the big picture of things I dont think they really give a damn. And as for Bones, you can just tell he loves doing them. Thanks.

She claims that Kidd assaulted her while she was pregnant with the couple's first child and has struck her with everything from a large rock to a cookie. Oncelink

See, that part I believe, it explains why he has the face of a 30 year old

[NRHector]

God is great. God is GOOD. IMO.

that is so en funny and may the suns burn in

[Kori Ellis]

I thought she claimed Kidd threw french fries at her. I didn't know about the cookie.

[Dex]

Duncan
Parker
Ginobili
Bowen
Oberto
Finley
Horry
Barry
Udoka
Thomas
Stoudamire
Vaughn

That's a nice lookin' lineup for the playoffs.

[tinysands]

The paper reported that Barry will play for the veteran's minimum salary for the remainder of this season and next season with the Spurs, although league rules mandate that the Spurs must wait until March 21 to officially sign him.

I remember reading about the Barry almost-trade first on SpursTalk.

Now this. Great news.

P.S. I actually visited SpursTalk more frequently in the past few days to hear about any Barry updates than the other news sites.

[spursfan09]

Well it sucks to be super late. I found out during the Spurs/Mavs game. This is what happens when you have to go to work and school and gone 12 hours.... But I'm very happy he stayed. Shows alot of loyalty on his part, and now I want to cheer louder and harder for him at the games.

[bigfundamental21]

Great news! Barry belongs in a Spurs uniform. Now he just needs to get completely healthy and back in game shape by April.

[~Sweetmelody~]

Yes!
Husband kept saying he was coming back, but I was still worried. LOL

[polandprzem]

I woke up

I got what I wanted.

Now we can concentrate on calf and other stuff like that

[Streakyshooter08]

Great. The first site I look at for News in general is Spurstalk. Cool to have this forum.

I really like the fact that Barry is playing here next year for the vet-min. That means the Spurs have actually 2 holes to fill. One is the backup SG and the backup PF (assuming Bonner won't help a lot) That leaves the Spurs with that lineup going into free agency:

TP/Vaughn
Manu/???/ Barry
Bowen/ Udoka
TD/???/ Bonner
Oberto/ Splitter

I would love if they manage to keep Thomas for the vet-min as well. It would be great to have him as a mentor.

I think his family had a lot to do with this decision and I am happy for it.


Oh, and that the Spurs give him the best chance at another le.

The thing I like is that he has another month to heal and rest!

To say nothing of the fact that it's now Francisco Elson and a 2009 #1 for Kurt Thomas -- what was a necessary deal for the Spurs might have actually become a theft.

[T Park]

I don't think there is any "Might" to it.

Very funny and quite possibly true, but not nice but VERY funny

The interesting thing to know that we will never know is :
What all that hesitating made to avoid collusion accusations or was Barry really torn between coming back to SA or going to another team ?

If everything was premeditated, CIA Barry is damn good.

[JPB]

Thanks Sam.

[urunobili]

Brent ing Barry Haters! whottt said that pop may have stole the idea out of stackhouse to make this happen... i ing agree... CIA good good.. but dunno about this one though

I think the only two people who truly know the answer to this are Pop an Barry. Although Barry's latest CIA comments at least let me know he's capable . . .

[Brutalis]

BB called me. Said he is taking over Robert's role on the bench. Wasting our time and money until like 10 seconds to play or some jibber jabber.

[T Park]

Yeah if this was CIA, Pop and Barry have reached a new all time level.


I bet pop and Barry are having a big laugh over this.

Pops probobly so proud he'll brag about it at his reunion parties for decades.

[gasolina]

eva has a HEB commercial

Youtube? Link?
