The Spurs win again. Gambo was the 1^st to report that Brent Barry will not join the Suns this season. He’s going to continue his extended leave and re-sign with San Antonio next month. Burnsy took calls on the Barry news, and several listeners wanted to know why Sam Cassell wasn’t (and isn’t) being seriously pursued, although his signing with the Celtics may be a formality at this point.

Lost in the shuffle of all the Suns news (yet again), was the D-Backs Cactus League opener versus the Rockies. Bob Melvin joined Burnsy to discuss the D-Backs thrilling 5-5 tie with Colorado before a thrilled crowd of tens in Tucson. And although ties aren’t fun, Bob Melvin did say “it felt a lot better than losing to (Colorado) again.” BoMel also chimed in on RJ’s return, saying he “got through another level,” and unlike in previous years there is no timetable. Still no word on the timetable for Chad Tracy’s return, but in the meantime Melvin said Trot Nixon is making the most of his opportunity to provide “left handed thump off the bench.”

And don’t forget tomorrow night: Suns GM Steve Kerr joins Burnsy to discuss who may be coming to the Suns now that Brent Barry is going back to San Antonio.
