<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Rockets free-agent guard Jon Barry expressed a desire to resign with the team and dismissed rumors of an interest by the New Jersey Nets. Barry joined the Rockets last December via a trade with the Hawks. "I haven't heard one word from the Nets," Barry said. "Five or six people have told me that the Nets were interested, but I haven't spoken with them. I've heard a lot of stuff in my 13 years, and until I sign on the dotted line, who knows what might happen? "With the addition of Stromile and everybody else back, I truly believe in this team."</div> Source Good to hear that, it would be nice to have him back. Although I think his talent is easily replaceable, his heart and commitment to this team isn't. Also, the main article's on Stromile Swift if anyone wants to read it.
Awesome! they better bring him back..If not..they'll be trouble with the JBB forum...Mortal Kombat type troubles if you know what I mean.. Haha seriously though it'd be great if we can get Barry back, sure he made some dumb decisions but most of the time the risks he took payed off! he's a great shooter and is pretty consistent as well, if we can get him back i'd be more then happy!

<div class="quote_poster">Quoting aznhowie20:</div><div class="quote_post">he wants to stay because we are gettin a ring.</div> both Barry and Mutumbo knows that...I bet they will be the last to sign after we finish with our shopping
yay barry was our 4th best scorer in the playoffs u know...he hit many big threes, especially in our awesome game 2...deke mutombo is vital, too cause he steps up in defense when yao gets tired, and deke still gets solid blocking
<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">deke mutombo is vital, too cause he steps up in defense when yao gets tired, and deke still gets solid blocking</div> True that, Mutumbo made Yao look like a joke many times during the season. I definitely hope he stays- if we ever are going to make a championship run, a lot of it depends on him.
I would prefer not re-signing Barry and using the LLE to sign a younger, more versatile player. As good as Barry is at shooting three pointers, he doesn't do much else. Barry doesn't play great defense and makes a lot of bad decisions and overly flashy passes. I would prefer we get a younger talent who can back up both the two and three and learn behind McGrady. Demarr Johnson fits this mold.
