The Seattle SuperSonics want to get guard Brent Barry signed to a contract extension before he becomes a free agent this summer and have contacted his agent, Arn Tellum, in an attempt to do so.

Unfortunately, the sides are far apart.

Tellum and Sonics GM Rick Sund met and according to sources, Sund told him that the Sonics would offer a two-year deal worth $10 million..

However, according to sources wants a four-year deal for $23 million that would expire when he is 35.

Sources also say that several teams have contacted Tellum saying they would offer Barry the 4 year/$23 million contract that he wants this summer.

Several teams have called Sund about Barry but have been rebuffed.

Some possibilities mentioned are Atlanta, Boston, Golden State, New York, Orlando, and Portland.
