Info
Almost a Spur last February, his situation with the Hornets does not appear to have changed. Moving Barry for him would be ideal this offseason.

No Problems there, he'll just add the depth as another solid guard with youth. We need to get rid of Barry, his time is up.
this deal would make me excited..................
The only thing I'm afraid of is that he'll and moan when he doesn't get his minutes. That's what he did in New Orleans and that's why Byron Scott decided to let him stay on the bench for second half of the season.
He's still young and raw but he expects his minutes on a nightly basis, but with guys like Manu, Bowen, Finley ahead of him, I can't see him satisfied with 10-15 minutes a night.
That's why I like Barry and his at ude. He knows what's best for the team is best for him as well and if he doesn't get the minutes he wants he accepts that for the sake of the team. Also we can't afford to loose one of the best pure shooters in the league for a very inconsistant shooter in J.R. Smith.
It's a tough situation for the Spurs, they need to get younger but they still need to have shooters on the team and Barry is our best three point shooter.
What do the Hornets see in Barry? Take him. Please.
PT whiners have a habit of shutting up when they are on a team full of players who are better then they are,
Pull the trigger.
A multiplayer deal -
The Spurs send Barry and Rasho
The Hornet send Marc Jackson, JR Smith, a resigned Speedy Claxton, Rasual Bulter and also Marcus Fizer just for kicks.
The would we want Marc Jackson?
WE don't, but the numbers gotta work and he's only got a year left on his deal.
Numbers don't have to work since they'll probably be under the cap, we would prefer they didn't for the Barry trade.
I've run that scenario at RealGM trade checker and there would have to be other considerations.
Marc Jackson isn't that bad, at the right price.
He could be a physical presence down low.
RealGM isn't using 2006-07 numbers because those numbers do not yet exist.
However, with cap space being at a premium, I'm more inclined that NO would go for the deal if we took one of their scrub players instead of their cap space.
And get Rasho and Barry in return? How is that in any way cap conscious?
If Rasho is a starter, he's a bargain at $7, Brent Barry becomes trade bait after this year for teams looking to clear cap space.
And Jeff Bower loses his job in August. Get real.
Yeah, it's much better for NO to keep signing these raw, young players at $2.5-$3 a year and watching them never do a damn thing. What kind of center are they going to get for $7 million? Even Dampier and Adonal Foyle make much, much more than that, and they really suck.
So they should pay the same money for someone who is argualbly worse? If they can't sign anyone outright with their cap space -- and there are some guys better than Rasho they could get for the same or less money -- they'll just get another PF at #12 and roll with that. If those guys are such hot , why don't we keep them?
You make a good point about Barry fitting in with the Spurs mentality of doing the job for the team and with J.R. smith potentially being another NBA brat complaining about en led minutes.
But that stuff is the Pop's job to address and he usually does a good job in opening players eyes at taking on a more mature at ude towards one goal and not individual crap. If it's an true issue I don't think the Spurs woulda
considered getting the guy in mid-season. Allowing his dissatisfaction for minutes has to do with the coaching staff at New Orleans.
Barry IS a pure shooter. But pure shooters don't show any value when they're not aggressive enough to insist on the open shot. Barry didn't throw Horry Bombs like he should have in the Mavs series. We were severely lacking beyond the arc that whole series from him, while Finley actually was the only one to come through. Barry's Bouncer three in the Sac series is forgotten now. I liked Barry, but his upside left this year. J.R. Smith is around age 21 and athletic. He woulda done nicely against the Mavs actually as far as staying in front of his man goes. A lot more than Barry did.
Would PJ Brown, Butler and Smith be better for you?
I don't see Lord Byron giving up PJ for any of our scrubs.
Hey, I'm not in any way a Rasho lover, but if you haven't noticed, under-talented centers tend to get over paid in the NBA. Rasho is not a lot of things, but one thing he is is consistant. At least you know what your gonna get from him and he's not a nut case like Foyle.
Agreed. I simply think NOLA will overpay a free agent on its own.Hey, I'm not in any way a Rasho lover, but if you haven't noticed, under-talented centers tend to get over paid in the NBA.
