Cruel , cruel joke....
Hawks, Rockets swap Barry, Lue
The Atlanta Hawks today acquired guard Tyronn Lue from the Houston Rockets in exchange for guard Jon Barry, according to Executive Vice President/General Manager Billy Knight.
“Tyronn is a hard-nosed defender who can push the ball up the court,” Knight said. “(Hawks assistant coach) Larry Drew coached him with the Lakers and in Washington so he’s familiar with his abilities. He has a good at ude, and loves to play, so we’re looking forward to having him.”
“At the same time, this was done because of the development of our young players – Josh Childress, Josh Smith and Royal Ivey,” Knight added. “We like the way they’re emerging and growing. We didn’t feel like there would be a lot of playing time for Jon at that shooting guard position.”
A seventh-year guard from Nebraska, Lue has appeared in 21 games (3 starting assignments) this season with the Rockets, averaging 6.0 ppg, 2.8 apg and 1.9 rpg (.393 FG%, .333 3FG%, .778 FT%).
He spent his first three NBA seasons with the Lakers, winning an NBA championship ring in 2001. He signed as a free agent with Washington on July 18, 2001. After two seasons with the Wizards, he signed as a free agent with the Orlando Magic on July 23, 2003. He was traded to Houston on June 29, 2004 in a seven-player deal.
Originally drafted by Denver in the first round (23rd overall) of the 1998 NBA Draft, his draft rights were traded to the Lakers on draft night. Tyronn (“TIE-ron”) Jamar Lue was born May 3, 1977 in Mexico, Missouri and attended Raytown (Missouri) High School.
Barry, who signed with Atlanta on September 16, 2004, played in 16 contests for the Hawks, and posted 5.2 ppg, 1.8 apg and 1.3 rpg (.403 FG%, .344 3FG%, ..769 FT%).
In his 13th NBA season, Barry has also played for Milwaukee, Golden State, LA Lakers, Sacramento, Detroit and Denver. Additionally, Barry played in 58 games for the Hawks during the 1996-97 campaign.
Cruel , cruel joke....
ya got me...
EVIL.
Damn..... It's rare that I post but.....you just killed my buzz
Damn you, Kori!
Maybe we could trade Barry for Barry?
Holy Crap! You freaking made me pee in my pants! Very Cruel, but good. LoL.
Now that's just mean.
At first when I saw the le...I assumed it was a joke.
Then When I noticed Kori was the one posting..I figured it had to be true, cuz Kori wouldnt do anything like that.
Shows what I know.
Lol i knew as soon as i saw it that it had to be Jon.
All right, now, Ms. Jim...:p
Oh know I can hear it SPURS should have signed JON instead of BRENT
LOL. got me big time, especially when i saw the part about tyron lue, i thought the GM was insane! lol
Good, this mofo can't hit a jump shot anyway. Did Rasho get traded?
To tell you the truth, this past summer I actually wanted Jon Barry instead of Brent, he's cheaper, he doesn't have Brent's game...but he's much more suited to riding the bench(which is what Brent is going to do here most likely), plus he is more of an enforcer type, a lot more in the Doc Rivers mode, of a tough wiley vet...something we lack at the guard spots, something Brent isn't.
But that was back when I still wanted Jack.
Kori, you mean thing you! How could you mess with us, your loyal fans, like that? I would boycott your work but I like it too much. =) But seriously, for shame!
Tye Lue is the worst point guard I've ever seen. Too bad he had to leave H-Town.
Classic post!!!
Not your style Kori.....
Damn you Kori.
^^ Likewise
I still think it was funny.
Clever one, Kori!
Hilarious!
