Did Barry clear waivers?

[Fabbs]

Says he was "released".
Yet was not waived until Thursday.
Plus Bruno and Que Gee said the waiver did not expire until Monday.
Or did every NBA team immediately say "no" thus the waiver ended?

So what up?

"48 hours" would end today Saturday, if the NBA works on weekends.

HOUSTON -- Within minutes of the Seattle SuperSonics releasing guard Brent Barry Friday, the Houston Rockets were on the phone with Barry's agent, Arn Tellem, offering a two-year deal.

"We are offering the maximum allowed on a two-year contract," said Daryl Morey, Rockets General Manager. "We are in full pursuit."

And not just in the figurative sense. The Rockets are literally going after Barry.

"Coach (Rick) Adelman and I plan to go to San Antonio and meet with Brent," Morey said. "We want to give him the full treatment."

Barry's father, Rick, played for the Rockets during the 1978-1979 season and is a member of the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame. His brother, Jon, played for the Rockets for two years and is currently an NBA television analyst.

Brent Barry is a 13-year veteran. Including this season Barry played for the San Antonio Spurs for four years, helping them to two NBA les. He was traded to Seattle Wednesday in the deal that sent Kurt Thomas to the Spurs. He was included to make the deal work financially and was released 48 hours later.

The Spurs would like to re-sign him. The Phoenix Suns, L.A. Lakers, and Boston Celtics have also expressed interest.

"We think Brent can be a key piece in our playoff run if we can get him," Morey said. "We think he can help us in a significant way."

The first day Barry can sign with any team is Tuesday.
