The Hornets don't seem interested in playing/developing Smith, so something might be worked out. And NOOK could use a multi-tool player like Barry. It could definitely happen.
I was thinking about it today...
If Barry is still under contract with us for next year wouldn't the two teams have another chance to get it done this offseason? The reason it didn't get done the first tim (supposedly) is because the Hawks GM was at a funeral and they couldn't finish the deal by the deadline.
So why not try it again this summer? I'd love to have that kid on this team.

I remember how exciting it was to watch Charles Smith elevate at the rim.
This kid is all that, and then some. Raw talent, but this would be the perfect place for him to develop, and Pop would hopefully keep him in check. This town/city/team could some excitement like that. What's the worse that happens, it doesn't work out? Big deal, you still have manu/tp/bowen at those guard and small forward positions. Oh, not to mention Finley off the bench. Pfft.
The way Barry is playing I am glad this did not happen - look for other future trade bait right now - NVE???????
His value isn't that high. You're better off just holding on to him.
Barry does have some value though. I would dangle him for all he's worth.
Do it.
Yep, that Barry guy sure sucks
isnt smith a free agent after this yr and nve is on a 1 yr deal isnt he?
Barry doesn't suck, but the upside with Smith is huge.Yep, that Barry guy sure sucks
Answer: 34,34,32,28Yep, that Barry guy sure sucks
Question: What are the ages of Bowen, Barry, Finley, and Manu?
JR Smith is 20, a high wire act, and has shot 39.5% from downtown this year, compared to Barry's 34.5%.
I'm really glad Brent woke up from his year and a half long coma, but I'll help him ing pack.
JR Smith plays with New Oreleans, not Atlanta.
I know.
If you read up on it, you'd know they tried to involve the Hawks at the last minute, and the deal probably would have gotten done as a 3-say trade but the Haws GM couldn't do it do a funeral he had to attend.
I understand that the man had a funeral to go to, but this is a billion dollar business, and it was trade deadline day. If you are not available, designate one of your assistants to take calls, and be available via text message.
.
I'm sure he had people in plae. It was a last minute thing, though.
The Hornets made another deal, which changed there salary cap situation. So they had to get the Hawks involved, by that time everything had to go right for it to get done...and it didn't. Funerals have that effect.
If we can get this guy, I would be the first person with his authentic road jersey [/tpark]
You think Brent was trying to prove something today? 4/4 from 3, 2/2 from 2 for 16 points, 3 assists, 1 block, 2 rebounds. Not a bad little performance.
I Hope he proves it in the playoffs, we need him to shoot like that.
My issue with extatic and others regarding Barry is that they don't see what he brings to the table.
It's not just scoring but it's his passing, his ball handling skills, his court vision.
I would also make the trade because of Smith's potential.
It just pisses me off that people contantly diss Barry for what barry isn't. He isn't a 20 pt a game man. TD and TP and to a lesser degree Manu (whenever he wakes up) are there to that job.
I agree.
I like when people have some sense, give him his credit...and say 'but I would still try to get Smith'. It bugs the out of me when peoples respone is "Barry ing sucks" and "trade his ass".
I would like to see Barry as a possible back up PG in the playoffs for that reason.
Alot of people wanted Barry as backup pointguard at various points of last years playoffs, but Pop didn't really do it. I dont know if we came up with the reason why, but there HAS to be one. A logical one, hopefully.
Other than him forgetting how to dribble penetrate?
Lets make something clear though. The Barry that is playing right now is not the Barry of the past year and a half. He was brought here to hit some open shots, and he struggled with that a lot last year and most of this year as well. I thought in the playoffs last year, he hit his stride to a degree, but still had room to grow. Then this year it appeared he had regressed.
However, perhaps Barry is finally in a zone where he needs to be.
If he can stay in that zone. This is a great time for him to gain some confidence heading into the playoffs.
