I seriously doubt this will make any difference to the Rocket's fortunes, unless we are angling to trade for his brother Brent. I'm hoping there are a few more trades in the works ...
Best moments of Jon Barry in my mind: 1) played in Detiort as a member of that tough 2nd unit, provided sparks and hustles to them 2) Saved a beer last season when played in Dever, anybody saw that on sports center? Will he suit up for the Sunday game gave us some shooting?
This is from the Hawks round up about his situation: http://hawks.realgm.com/articles.phtml?articleid=499 It sounds like they wanted to get rid of him so that they could play their younger guys.
LOVE this trade barrett better get on the active roster now, i would suggest in place of boki now if we could ship off taylor for the nets' trade exemption that would be sweet (would be willing to throw in 2nd round draft picks)
final roster: sura/barrett/ward mcgrady/barry jackson/nachbar howard/padgett/weatherspoon ming/mutombo
If the Hawks have too many guys on their backcourt why would they wanna pick up a pg? tyrones defense?
I hope this sends a message to Juwan, MoTay, Sura, JJ, Ward, and others that if you dont shoot well you will be a HAWK. Well, I guess Sura knows about being a HAWK very vividly.
I second that, BIG Dave! I guess I'm the only one that actually liked Lue's game. We were becoming good friends. He will be missed. Although his TO's and Bricks will not be. http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b4cc24b3127cce9dd3ee3523bc00000020108AcsWrFmzctm http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b4cc24b3127cce9dd3ee48a2f100000020108AcsWrFmzctm http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b4cc24b3127cce9dd3ee3523bc00000020108AcsWrFmzctm Just a little of topic, but keeping the same picture topic. http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b4cc24b3127cce9dd3eee5236c00000026108AcsWrFmzctm Whop's were did that come from. Here he comes. A couple of games ago, I was sitting a few rows from the Bench, you good hear a pin drop. I know , I know it gets a little. I started chanting On-dre Bar-ret! On-Dre Bear-It! ---- On-Dre Baer-It! On dre Bear it! ---- The Boki and Mutumbo were cracking up and motioning to Dre, as Lue calls him as to get in the game.http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b4cc24b3127cce9dd3e965e24700000020108AcsWrFmzctm
I think they probably want to free up some more time for Josh Childress. Maybe out of respect to Barry's wishes? Regardless, I'm happy with it.
i watched barry play here in detroit and he is all out hustle and has a good shot... typical jvg type of player. way to go cd, just get us chandler and hinrich now...
Despite Barry's age, good move..... We'll have to see how this works out. JVG had a 3 point marksman last year in Pike and he never played. Granted, Barry brings more energy to the table. Hopefully the stat killer himself, JVG, isn't wasting our time with this guy and won't ruin him.
Wow, this roster could be our 2nd unit Sura age:32 Barry 35 JJ 35 Juwan 34 Deke 38(who knows) Man, we ought be handicapped with 10pts if we play like that. JVG should send the request to Stern. We are doing NBA a favor to prolong league's senior citzen's career and we ought to be thanked.
Lue is an expiring contract, what is Barry's contract situation? Oh who cares, this guy is an energy player who can shoot. HUGE difference. DD
like most of you, i love this trade. i have no idea why Atlanta did it, but regardless, i love it. we lose absolutely nothing to at least have a chance at getting a good shooter. and if it doesnt work out, no big deal, we lose nothing. (yes i consider lue nothing)
