790am Barry wants more money? (I may have misheard?)

Given the age of both players, I think the "Old man" clause kicks in. It limits the contract length to, i believe, 2 years (CBA gurus please correct me if this is wrong).

I think it's essential we bring him & Deke back. I think we should sign JB to a 2 year deal for the vet minimum, with both years guaranteed & a no trade clause. He gets what we want (ie more $$$ & choice of where to play) and we get it spread over 2 years.

Deke should be signed for what he's currently getting, plus the allowed raise. He played that well for us last year that he generated demand for his services again.

 

I rather have Barry over Sura.

 

We need JB. But I'm not sure if we need him two years later...

 

Jon Barry is walking, talking team chemistry.

He must be brought back. Bring him back.

 

wasn't he our best 3 point shooter last year? i should probably just look this up but i'm tired.

 

This is how I'd like our guard situation to be set up.

PG:
Starter: Damon Stoudamire
Backup: Luther Head
SG:
Starter: Bobby Sura
Backup: Jon Barry

I think we should move Wesley.

 

Move Wesley, bring Barry back, but I don't like him making public statements like that.

 

say if yao doesn't accept a contract extension before next free agency... what's the absolute maximum that other teams can offer?

 

lol thats random... something like 5 years 72 million something like that while the rox can offer him 6 years 92 million

 

And where does Mike James fit in this rotation?

 

I agree and that's why the Rockets should do whatever they can to bring him back next year.

 

JB shot 45% from 3 point land last year as a rocket. If he can be had for about 2 million a year, you can NOT let him go. Especially since we will probably be losing Padge in free agency.

 

Give him his money! (Russian accent)

 

Can someone explain how Bird rights work? I thought we could resign our own players even though we're over the cap.

 

Doesn't it take 3 years for that to take effect?

Unsure on the details.

 

You can. But the bigger raises are associated with players who have been on contracts with the same team (or have been traded on the contract) for 3+ years (Full Bird) or 2 years (Early Bird). Barry signed a 1 year deal with the Hawks so we have only had his contract for 1 season. Hence, a lower possible raise.

 

Cool, thanks Gater. I love this BBS. Would have taken me 2 hours to find out on google!

 

I feel so un-see-eh-tisfied. (Russian accent)

 

I like his passes but I hate his mouth. I blame him for wasting our 2-0 playoff lead over the Mavz because he made statement like 'Germinator'... and that fired up the Mavz.

Basketball isn't all physical..

1.6 is good for him.

 

Give him the money and trade Sura or Wesley. Problem solved.
