It's not like Barry did anything for the spurs and had any part of the spurs winning a championship. Finley even though not as high percentage of shooter as Barry is automatically better despite health problems. I get it.
On the local sports show they had some Harris(?) guy from WOAI and he'd said they might explore trading Barry, but didn't know if it was possible because of the salary. Beeno was another option, but they like him a lot.

Spurs like Barry much more than Beno. Apprarently, they soured on Udrih late last year and through the playoffs, and have already been shopping him around along with Rasho over this offseason. Barry probably doesn't have the safest seat on the bench right now, but he's not exactly on the block either. I don't think Brent will be going anywhere.
Besides, Finley will be coming in more to backup Bowen at SF, not Ginobili at the 2. So I'm pretty sure his addition isn't much of a threat to Barry's spot on the roster.
Why would they trade him.
If someone is willing to give up some picks and cap space, Im sure he could be had.
Looking at it, I always thought that the Spurs would try to move Barry after this year. Now that the MF is signed up, it's even easier to trade him. He's still owed a good amount of money and his playing time will surely dip.
That said -- in a perfect world -- I'd like him to remain on the team. I think he could fill the Steve Kerr role almost perfectly. He could come in and knock down a few shots and make some smart plays. But would he be happy with that role and would the Spurs want to pay someone that much for that role?
Not likely on either account.
Yeah, because that 4/4 3-pt, 16 point Game 2 versus the Nuggets, after Denver had upset the Spurs at home didn't do anything for our team.
Neither did his 21 point, 5/8 night behind the arc during Game 1 against the Suns, and his 55% three-point shooting throughout the WCF.
Let's not forget those veteran minutes he filled in for the inneffective Beno against the Pistons, especially those two big assists he dished out during the clinching moments of 4th quarter Finals Game 7. Those were worthless, too.
How does that guy sleep at night?
I think barry should stay. He hits some deep threes that kept us in the game. i understand that we need Rasho as backup, but I've always thought he wasn't aggressive enough. i would have traded him. I've always felt that Malik was more aggressive than Rasho.
Your average banana slug is more agressive than Rasho ...
But you hit the nail on the head, why would a team want a player with diminishing skills and a high salary? No one in the west will take him as that'll help the Spurs and conversely he could come back to haunt the Spurs. Their best bet might be to wait until trading time and pawn him off on the Knicks.
Im all for keeping Barry - he helps our team, and helps stretch the defences around Tim. Plus, NVE @ point, Barry @ sg, Finley @ sf - that makes sense to me for the backups? Add Horry in at PF backup and youve got 4 MAJOR threats for 3pt. Timmy in the middle, and your set.
Barry to stay!!!
whatever
if we trade Bones we will regret it.
Barry proved himself as a valuable addition to this team during the playoffs. He is versatile at running starting and backup positions at both SG and PG. It's obvious the Spurs are going to retain him.
Your avg. old lady with an oxygen tube on life support in a nusing home is more agressive than Rasho
Who?
my 99 pound lil sister is more aggressive around the rim then RASHO
if anyone must be (chump) dumped then it should be him...then we can resign nazr for his inflated contract he will inevitably expect
barry for amare
man im tired of these trade rumours poppin up. do u think it might be possible that we'd keep em all ? barry is one of the smartest players on our team, he was the answer in backing up parker when udrih got a bit nervous. he has massive range, and he wants to be here.
how about we keep the team as we have it now (try to extend nazr on the same money he has now, or else let him go and get scola)... and win championships for the next 5 years.
Bones' has had his 1 year grace period.... now lets let him play with a full year with the spurs under his belt. He'll be more comfortable, more relaxed, he wont have the burden on his shoulders of having to come out and "prove himself" because he was the lone "big acquisition " last off-season that was supposed to take the Spurs over the top...
Trading Barry can be good and bad. Good, because you can trade him to a team like Denver and get someone like DeMarr Johnson in return or a draft pick to save money. If the Spurs trade him to Denver and receive future picks, then the Spurs can keep Devin and have cap space for Nazr next off season. However, it can be bad because if Finley gets hurt Barry would be gone (if traded) and we have no one else to come in. I would only trade Barry if it means we keep Devin or receive someone like DeMarr Johnson on the cheap.
no
Trading Barry to Denver (for DerMarr) would be a very bad decision. They need a shooter and ball-handler; why give them one?
Agreed.
I think there will be times this season when Finley gets the bulk of the backup swing minutes and other times when Barry will. In the playoffs, they'll both be very useful.
Depth isn't a bad thing.
Depth is great. I totally agree, but I am simply stating what can happen if he is traded. Do I want him to be traded? No. However, if the Spurs do well there are some options.
Oh I think the Spurs will entertain offers for Barry - as well as Rasho and Beno. They already have been doing that even before NVE and Finley signed. But I wouldn't trade Barry for someone like DerMarr Johnson.
Trading Barry and letting Nazr walk (or trading Rasho) keep the Spurs away from the luxury tax threshold for the next five years.
I'd rather Barry stay on the team, but it doesn't make much financial sense.
