<H3>Suns interested in Brent Barry

The Suns may not be done wheeling and dealing. A team source said that Phoenix would like to find a way to acquire veteran sharpshooter Brent Barry, who was traded Wednesday from the San Antonio Spurs to the Seattle SuperSonics.
For Barry to become a Sun, the Sonics would have to buy out his contract, the source said. Barry is making $5.5 million this year and is in the final year of his contract.
Barry, 36, is averaging 7.3 points per game this year and shooting 43 percent from 3-point range. He would be an ideal fit for Phoenix, given that defenses may sag inside to try to stop Shaquille O?Neal.

I'm not sure what Phoenix would give up......I always liked Barbosa's stroke, and Raja Bell is solid too. I'd hope Barry wouldn't eat either of their minutes, as they are both significantly better.
I personally think Steve Kerr might be out thinking himself here. I can understand the Shaq trade, although I don't like it. Depending on the pieces could give up for Barry, they could end up changing what makes this team great.

It would be a 2nd round pick (and the Suns don't usually use draft picks). The Suns have to add 1 player this week by leauge rules, becasue they are short one after the Shaq trade. They want a tough defender that can play the wing to try and make up what they lost the most in Marion. Barry is a great fit because of this and he likesto stroke the 3. He would maybe play 10 mins a game, he didn't play much in San Antonio. I like Pietrus the most, but he makes no sense. He wants to start in Golden State and that's why he wants out...so, ya... that makes no sense.

Entertaining first quarter, would be nice if we would stop leaving Nash open.
