All-Stars Shaquille O'Neal, Steve Nash and close friend Sean Marks have each called Brent in an attempt to lure the 36-year-old guard to Phoenix.

"They (Barry's family) really seem to love it there (San Antonio)," Brent's father said. "It's all going to come down to what his wife (Erin) wants to do."

Brent met with his family on Tuesday in San Antonio to discuss his future, followed by a meeting with Suns GM Steve Kerr, who flew to San Antonio on Tuesday in the middle of a scouting trip.

"From the stand point of just having fun playing the game, it certainly would be more fun playing here (in Phoenix)," Rick said.

Rick said Brent would compliment D'Antoni's offensive system by opening up the floor, which would take pressure off newly acquired center Shaquille O'Neal.

"He and Barbosa, coming off the bench, would be awesome," Berry said.

The Suns and the Spurs are not expected to give more than a prorated portion of the veterans' minimum ($1.2 million) to Barry, but Phoenix and San Antonio have reportedly offered the 3-point specialist two-year deals.

Rick said his son would be an enormous addition to the Suns' fast-paced tempo.

"He's also going to help them with their running game," Barry said "My son can pass the hell out of the basketball. I'm just hoping he hasn't forgotten how to do it because it's been so long since they gave him a chance to do it."

The Suns expected to hear from Barry late Tuesday regarding his decision, but Barry, who has played with the Spurs for three years and has family living in San Antonio, has waited on his decision.

"I would love to see this happen and hope that he has the chance to showcase the other talents that he has," Barry said. "If he's given that opportunity and made the decision to come here, people will see elements of his game that people really aren't aware of."

Barry, who hasn't played since Jan. 24 due to a calf injury, is averaging 7.3 points this season on 43 percent shooting from 3-point range.

"He can shoot the three, obviously, and he's also a terrific free throw shooter," Berry said.


브렌트 베리의 아버지이자 전설 (강백호 자유투.-_-;) 릭 베리 할배가 자기 아들의 진로에 대한 자기 생각을 밝혔습니다.

I would love to see him play for the Suns," Barry said.(릭 베리삼.-_-;)

피닉스 선즈, 마이크 댄토니오 스타일의 농구가 브렌트 베리와 완벽하게 맞을 거라면서, 여태 베리는 자신과 맞지 않은 팀에서 뛰어왔으니 이제 선수 말년은 자신과 맞는 팀에서 뛰었으면 좋겠다란 말을 했습니다. 여지것 사람들이 모르고 있던 모습을 보여줄 수 있을 거라면서요. 현재 샤킬 오닐과 스티브 네쉬, 그리고 스퍼스 있을 때 친해졌는지 막역한 사이인 션 막스도 베리에게 전화를 걸어서 피닉스로 오길 권했다고 합니다.

아버지는 말하셨지 선즈로 가거라~


이지만...

"They (Barry's family) really seem to love it there (San Antonio)," Brent's father said. "It's all going to come down to what his wife (Erin) wants to do."


현재로선 아버지의 입김 보다 마눌님의 입김이 더 센 거 같네요. 그리고 가족들이 스퍼스에서의 생활에 매우 만족해 하는 거 같습니다.

현재까지 선즈와 스퍼스 모두 베테랑 미니멈에서 잔류 일정분 만큼 분활한 금액을 제시하고 있는데, 두 팀 모두 2년 계약을 제시할 거라는군요. 베리의 결정은 한국 시간으로 내일 아침이면 나오겠네요. 쯥...

스퍼스, 어느 새 릭 할배까지 꼬셔서 저런 언론 플레이를 하게 만들다니, 대단해. (과대망상증 환자 같네.-_-;)



개인적인 생각을 말씀드리자면, 한 푼이라도 더 주는 팀으로 가거라, 라는 길교주의 가름침에 귀를 기울일 필요가 있다고 봅니다.ㅋㅋㅋ
