    "One other note I am hearing around the league that the Spurs are trying to move Brent Barry only after one year with the team."

    Wesley for Barry straight up?

    Barry makes the exact same as Wesley but with two more years.

    Knowing the Spurs and their knack for evaluating foreign talant they would probably want us to throw in the rights to Vassilis Spanoulis.

    I don't like his contract. I think he's too expensive for us.

    I see the name of MB with no "Ill" comments yet. He must not be awake :D

    I would absolutely do this, but does Wesley fit in SA's needs. Brent would fit here I am sure. Would be kind of neat seeing the two Barry Bombers in either corner for a kick out. Would rather see Brent with an open three than Wesley. I just hope if Latrell (please don't bring him here) comes here, he can still feed his family on the Bi-Annual exception. My heart goes out to him and his family. he was going to have trouble on the three year 21 million he left on the table in Minny. I hope he is not the same unhappy cancer he was there when he can't feed the kids.

    Ever heard of Dick and Tom Van Arsdale? Identical twins, both played on the Suns their last season.

    No thanks. Wasn't Barry a huge disappointment for SA last season? Why would we want him? I think we have the better of the two brothers.

    Geez, you know SA is great at evaluating talent, and you still want their throwaway? I say NO.

    I dont think so. Brent handles the ball better, is a better passer and certainly goes to the hoop better. About the only thing Jon does better is 3 point shooting IMO. Brent would be a perfect fit here. He is just the kind of player that we need to surround our young core with. A savy veteran with high BB IQ who still has some good years left in him.

    There have been a lot of players that were let go by one team and played great for another one. There is more than one reason a team lets a player go. :rolleyes:

    I would trade for Barry in a heartbeat. He would be perfect as our 1.

    If we landed Barry at the 1 and DA (outside shot at Finley) at the two; we could book tickets to next year's finals in Miami.

    In a heartbeat, a win-win for SA.

    I think that was the Celtics' motto for years.

    His passing and shooting would be perfect at SG for us. too bad SA would never trade with us.

    No thanks. We all know that Jon is the better player. Why attain his over-priced, over-rated brother.
