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).

HEB is relieved.
Obviously Timvp's source is Steve Kerr

So the deal was pretty much Elson & 1st round pick for Kurt Thomas. That makes it much better.
Yeh baby .. yeahhhhhhhh
The Suns are having a fit here; most are saying that they regret the Shaq trade and are up in arms over the Barry situation. Ha Ha Ha
