Rockets offering deal to Brent Barry (also updates on Landry, Horry)

at least trade landry so we can get something in return. maybe a couple of picks?

 

Lol great move by the Rockets they will resign Landry they're trying to lower his value so he won't get a outrageous deal they would have to match in free agency.

 

I think Morey is pulling a Joe Dumars here. He knows teams dont have money and no one wants to commit to more than 2 years due to the strong FA class in 2009 and 2010. So he is waiting for someone to make CLandry a small offer and they simply match.

I say $ 4mil @ 3 yrs is reasonable.

I think this is a right move. Yao, Tamc, Battier and Scola all don't even have the experience to pass the 1st round. The rockets need Barry and Horry's championship experience.

 

I hope this is a terrible misunderstanding by the OP. Somebody else see the report?

 

I think Morey is trying to scare off other teams with the knee injury talk. Theoretically, shouldn't they know EVERYTHING about his knee by now?

 

I'm ok with Barry cause he can shoot, pass on Horry

 

Man...it's the MLE, on a team clearly designed to win now, do you really want to LOL through Pietrus' "prime" or watch Gerald Green play garbage minutes?

Point is, considering the relative low price and the depth/leadership Barry and Horry would bring...I mean playoff expirience is overrated, but you can't deny that having both on board would help loads.

 

I really hope you are right here.

 

Yes it is very worrying,but chasing an old and semi-worthless Brent Barry is down right dumb.He is the next "Battier" like pick but without any defense.
We know the Rockets don't have any money but taking one step forward and one step backward is down right stupid,even if he can shoot.

We are never going to make any progress this way. The Rockets had no choice but to fill up the rest of the roster with Sura,John Barry,and Wesley and they did well but we got murdered by the speed and youth of the Mavs in Game 7 by 40 points.

I know he helped the Spurs out in the playoffs and could have gotten a foul in his favor but it was age and the injury to Ginobili which provided fatal for them. Head is no good but we will be the laughing stock of the league when someone flattens us out in the 1st round with Barry as our SG even as a backup for Tracy.McGrady's injury history is another reason not to go for Brent Barry.

 

Horry actually makes it past the first round. Steve Francis is here to make fans happy, Horry is here to win championships.

 

Landry will be re-signed regardless of his knee condition. Barry is a good replacement for Head while we wait for the Jackson/Francis contracts to get attractive midseason. I know everybody wants the big splash but a healthy Rockets team is the #1 seed in the western conference last year. We don't need much.

 

Barry is okay. But Barry has one year player option left on his contract with the Spurs.

 

While I agree Barry/Horry aren't my first, second, third, fourth, or fifth choices; most young players go where the money is instead of choosing the better fit or team with the best championship aspirations. You also never know how the younger players will take the pressure of the playoffs and be dependable. This sounds like a very Morey move...low risk, decent reward.

 

Planting the seed of Landry's knee could also scare away suitors.

 

Yeah, Landry's return is in doubt -- he could get an offer Morey's unwilling to match. But, it's always been that way. It's no more in doubt now than before.

I read that as Morey just wants to determine his value before they make any decisions on how to spend the mid-level. Sounds like a good idea.

 

Don't worry, guys!
The talk about Landry is a trick to scare off other bidders.

That said, I actually don't like the tactic personally. Imagine what Landry would feel. I say we lose Landry after this season, as he would be so pissed.

 

All I've seen is that the Rocks have targeted Barry, and we don't know what they are offering. Could be the LLE... could be part of the MLE. That depends a lot, obviously, on how much money Barry thinks he needs versus signing here with Houston. The Rockets insist on a really thorough examination of Landry's knee before making an offer. This is a surprise? The surprise would be if they didn't insist on that. Novak was signed to his second year option. The way Morey described him made the guy sound like he was going to be part of a trade. I wouldn't be surprised if he eventually went somewhere in a deal.

What's all the uproar about? And I didn't see anything yet about Horry. Anyone else see anything in the media?

 

we aren't the spurs. why try to be like them...duncan, parker, and gino make barry look better than he probably is..and robert horry is just a guy for the clutch playoff shots that we were never in the position for in the past playoffs anyways because we bombed in game 7s

 

People this is great!!!

The spurs won 4 titles in 9 years with these guys people say the spurs are old but yet they keep winning with these old guys luther head is garbage chuck hayes is garbage
