There ended being a rift between Barry and the Spurs FO and so it wasn't a matter of money but rather Barry wanting to end his career at a location where he would get some actual playing time and be a regular part of a rotation. |
OK, that I can understand. And I would be frustrated as heck if I was Barry watching Finley get tons of playing time while producing very little while he was stuck on the bench no matter how well he played. Pop is a great coach, but sometimes he has me scratching my head with his rotations, and his favoritism towards certain players no matter how horribly they play.

Their goal was to get younger, and Barry was the oldest of the guards. Besides, we have a player with a similar skillset in Mason. |
Being able to shoot 3's might be a similar skill set, but Barry has been knocking them down his entire career. On this current team, players get alot of open looks from the outside due to Duncan, Manu, and Parker, Barry was one of the few we have had that could actually knock down that shot consistantly. Roger Mason has yet to even reach the 40% mark from the outside, he is no Barry, not yet.
