"Barry, 33 (Hooroo's note: Brent is 33, Jon is 35), had a hard time fitting in with the emergence of rookies Josh Smith, Josh Childress and Royal Ivey. In 16 games this season for Atlanta, Barry had 5.2 points and 1.8 assists in 17 minutes per contest.

"We didn't feel like there could be a lot of playing time for Jon at that shooting guard position," said Hawks general manager Billy Knight."

 

I like the trade, I hope it lights a fire under our 4s to get thier ass in high gear or they will be gone too..

 

Barry isn't a great outside shooter?

 

scorer yes, shooter i'm not that sure

nevertheless is energy and hustle is amazing

 

Barry is a career 38% 3-point shooter. Lue is a career 38% 3-point shooter. I don't really see how we're gaining much shooting with this trade.

 

Good move. Hopefully this will insure that people will stop playing zone D on us from now on. hence more room For Yao in the low Post!

 

Great post. Sura and Barry are both more of scorers instead of shooters. Breaking down the defense on the dribble and getting to the hole is all the bringing. Not great outside shooting. Of course... they both push the ball and play hustle defense and can hold their own in the post.

So not a season changing trade... but a good move.

 

It's a Moochie for Spoon trade MKII

 

Jon Barry's strongest attribute is that he's very effective knocking down 3's in the 4th quarter ...



... when playing against the Rockets ...

 

Thank god Lue is gone, I hate that little idiot.

 

smeggysmeg with all due respect, what's the difference between a a outside shooter and outside scorer? I've never heard of Jon Barry being a player who beats people off the dribble.

 

Unfortunately I think Lue has more trade value than Mo.

 

this is a hell of a trade....lue is another player who really didnt understand his role. Lue would dribble...dribble...dribble...either come off a pick and shoot a brick or make some crazy pass that resulted in a horrible shot for a teammate or get his shot swatted. Barry is a ROLE PLAYER!....he is high energy, he hustles, he knows how to play the game, he has high bball iq....yellaman approves of this trade! This has to be the first trade where cd didnt throw in a first round pick!

 

Same here, Lue was only here for a couple of months and he didn't deserve all the crap he got on this board. I hope he does well in Atlanta.

I guess you can't expect much more than a trade like this when you don't have much to trade. His stats aren't much better than Lues but I think he needs more playing time than he got in Atlanta to bring out his best, I hope JVG gives it to him. I know CD is trying trade MoT desperately, so this may be the next trade that goes down, I hope there is some taker out there.

If a PF trade doesn't happen then JVG needs to put Spoon on IL and bring back Barrett. We are wasting a slot with 4 PFs when it could be better used to bring one of the PGs back. Not saying AB is the answer but having Spoon occupying a spot on the roster and playing like 70 minutes the whole season is a waste.

 

Barrett isn't on the IL.

 

BLOCKBUSTER TRADE

 

Good deal. Not sure how well Barry can play defense at his age, hopefully he won't turn out like another Pike.

But I'm glad we did something.

 

We activated Ward and put Barrett on the IL
