| (Jerry Lara /
Express-News) | Horry, one of the heroes of the
Spurs' 2005 NBA championship run, has agreed to the terms in a three-year
contract offer from the Spurs.
Free agents can't sign contracts until terms of the new collective bargaining
agreement between the NBA and its players' union are finalized. The league has
estimated July 22 as the likeliest date.
"As soon as he is allowed to sign the contract, he is going to sign it,"
Robert Barr, who represented the 13-year veteran in negotiations, said Tuesday.
The Spurs declined comment, citing an NBA rule preventing them from
announcing such agreements before players can sign them.
Horry, 34, whose 3-point shot with 5.8 seconds remaining in overtime gave the
Spurs a 96-95 Game 5 victory over the Detroit Pistons in the NBA Finals, played
last season for the veterans' minimum salary of $1.1million. Financial terms of
the new deal aren't known, but it is expected to pay him considerably more.
There is a clause in the third year of the deal that would allow the Spurs to
buy out the final year.
