Barry reportedly not returning to Spurs

Brent Barry apparently isn’t going back to the Spurs. Now, the question is: Is he headed to the Suns?
Citing unidentified sources, Phoenix television station KSAZ (Channel 10) is reporting that Barry has informed the Spurs that he will not re-sign with them a week after being traded to Seattle in the Kurt Thomas deal. Reports had Barry at the AT&T Center picking up some personal items on Thursday.
It’s still not known where Barry will land. The Suns were believed to be the front runner early in the week and have kept in constant contact with the 36-year-old wing player since general manager Steve Kerr visited the Barry family in San Antonio on Tuesday.
Reports have the Dallas Mavericks making a late charge for Barry’s services as well, but the Suns have the most playing time to offer and have offered Barry a two-year contract at the veteran’s minimum of $1.2 million – prorated for the rest of this season.
The Celtics were interested in Barry initially but are now on the verge of signing veteran guard Sam Cassell, who was waived by the Clippers on Thursday.
The Suns remain very interested in Gordan Giricek of the 76ers, and reports in Philadelphia say that deal has been on hold while Barry makes his decision. It is looking more and more like the Suns will wind up with one of those two players this weekend.

This does contradict Cuban/TNT's claim. Hopefully this article is inaccurate but it looks relatively well sourced and confident in its claim.
I can't take the drama.
I'll believe TIMVP over these clowns.
Ignore accordingly.
yay for suns propaganda

Cuban only said he thought he was going back to SA- and that he turned down Dallas.
ploto with the convinient ignoring of the post saying "Hes coming back"
This link doesn't work
Yup...It's gone now.
It was there when I clicked it a little while ago.
Maybe it's not...true?
Its a bogus story, the link to it is gone.
Nothing to see here.
Hope springs eternal.
If it's a fake, it's a well-produced fake.
I saw the page so it was there for a bit. Maybe it was just meant to give ploto a glimer of hope before it was ripped away again.
Looks like a job well done.
WRONG

Barry picks Spurs over Suns

Brent Barry will not be playing for Phoenix.
Suns General Manager Steve Kerr said the 36-year-old guard told him tonight that he chose San Antonio over Phoenix, as well as suitors like Boston, Dallas and Houston. Barry cleared waivers Tuesday after being traded by San Antonio last week to Seattle, which released him Friday to set off a weekend of recruiting.
He will not be able to sign a deal with San Antonio until March 21 because NBA rules prohibit a player from re-signing with a team that traded him until 30 days after the deal was made.
Barry, nicknamed "Bones" for his 6-foot-7, 210-pound frame, was targeted by the Suns to help them spread the floor better with another shooter and have another playmaking option with his ability to slide to point guard. Barry is a career 40.7 percent 3-point shooter and the Suns are trying to keep the floor spread as they work in Shaquille O'Neal, who can not play as wide as Shawn Marion did to start possessions.
Barry helped the Spurs win 2005 and 2007 les and his family is settled in San Antoni. He was already guaranteed his full $5.7 million for the season from the Spurs but now can make a pro-rated veteran's minimum check in addition to it.
Barry is in his 13th NBA season out of Oregon State and has been with San Antonio since 2004.
With Barry, Phoenix would have boasted four of the 17 most accurate NBA 3-point shooters in NBA history with Steve Nash (sixth), Leandro Barbosa (11th), Barry (14th) and Raja Bell (17th).
Bogus story...Brent is staying put.
Ploto is desperately emailing the writer looking for a glimmer of hope.
