Hmmm, fell apart in the final hour....interesting.. Barry proved himself last post season. As long as he gets the chance again, Im happy with him.

That would of been a STEAL but oh well. I love Brent but after the Malik deal I am for any trade that is in the best interest of the team. Tonight we can be upset over this but come tomarrow night it is time to refocus on Memphis. This current spurs team is good enough to repeat as champions.

I love Bones, he gives us some personality. Personality with points is better, but I would still hate to see him go. He seems like the type who really needs to feel confident to play well, and I doubt being trade bait will give him the warm fuzzies.

I don't know the JR Smith situation but I have a hard time with trading a proven player for a guy that the other team has given up on. Kinda reminds me of the Spurs back in 86 when we brought in Walter Berry. We thought we had a steal but we forgot that there was a reason Portland gave up on him. I think this was another one of those times when the best move was no move at all. |

I had a chance to meet JR and see him play. He's quite mellow. Didn't talk much. He also doesn't obey the no ipod rule ![]() I would not have have had a problem with this trade... even though I'm a huge Barry fan! (ANYONE who knows me will tell you the same thing) JR is the type of player the Spurs could develop into a nice bench player. He's similar to Jax, but more athletic. JR could flourish in the right system under the right coaching. I don't think he has that right now, but in SA... he'd be very solid. OH WELL! It didn't happen, so I won't think about it after this.

i don't see this as a great trade for the spurs if it really had happened. ok, smith is young athletic and somehow talented. that kind of player is the easiest to find nowadays. and he is selfish and doesn't like to play defense. even if you argue that as a spur he might change (like sjax), i would prefer a player who brings the athletic abilities along with a good attitude. i guess it was less about the player but more about the chance to dump some salery (ca. 4 million / year) if as reported some other teams would have been involved. just read that the blazers traded sergei monia to sacramento. that would have been an interesting option. it was obvious that portland is going to trade some of their huge number of SF's and i thought monia is a very interesting player for the spurs. (i like khyrapa more, but monia also has a lot of potential, even if he wasn't able to show much of it till now) |

Looking at it from the Hornet's pov I think having Barry on the team would help their young players and add valuable veteran leadership and play. A guy like Barry would help Paul in his development plus having Barry and Brown would stabilize the team both on and off the court. I have always believed in having a mix of youth and strong professional veterans too many young guys is not good, check out the Clippers, before this year, the Wolves when KG first got there, the CAvs the last 2 years and though these teams have had good talent and exceptional talent in some cases that lack of vets providing leadership and professionalism has hurt all those teams. The worst thing the Cavs did was surrond James with Davis and Miles his first year. |

I think a lot of people are infactuated with JR Smith's tremendous abilities and potential. And if he came here, there is a sense that the Spurs could nuture him and slowly bring him along. But I dont mind the trade didnt go down. It would have been compelling to see how Smith would have fit in here and even if he did come and Finley, Bowen and Manu are all healthy, he wouldnt get the minutes here. |

Hornets are under the cap but I haven't crunched any numbers so I am not sure if they were under enough for a straight Barry for Smith deal. Anyway, sometimes it makes sense when a Head Coach wants a certain player gone off his team. Sometimes at almost any cost. |

And do you know how serious are they about adding someone? Do they feel it is necessary to add someone for the push or they are just looking for a low-risk investment, like GRob? And speaking of him, is he maybe in the mix? Lot of questions... |

I may be alone on this one but I'm glad the trade didn't happen. Although Smith is athletic and young and all of those variables, Barry is seasoned and an excellent option to hit the three ball when the playoffs roll around. Barry has been playing great but all that matters is one or two good games during the playoffs for redemption. At this point, it doesn't matter what could have been. Let's move on and get ourselves another trophy. |

I think it would be a huge steal
