Former Spurs player Brent Barry will leave his TV analyst job to join San Antonio’s front office, according to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN.
Barry spent four seasons with the Spurs toward the end of his playing career and was part of title-winning teams in 2005 and 2007. R.C. Buford and Gregg Popovich have been wanting to add Barry to the front office since he retired in 2009.
He has been working as a TNT commentator for NBA broadcasts and a studio host on NBA TV.
Barry will fill the front office spot vacated by Monty Williams, who left to become an assistant coach with the Sixers, sources told Wojnarowski.
Welcome back Brent … Go Spurs Go
Dang. He was probably the best analyst TNT had…
Brent Barry is one of the few people who truly have High NBA IQ. He knows the game.
He was waiting for Tony Parker to leave!
Didn’t Tony Parker bang his wife? Makes sense he would join once Tony left.
Popovich moved from the FO to be the HC… I suspect this is significant news… anyway a detriment to TNT’s product.
