July 6, 2005
SAN ANTONIO (AP) -- San Antonio Spurs forward Robert Horry has agreed to a three-year deal with the NBA champions, according to reports.
Horry's agent, Robert Barr, told Houston television station KRIV and the San Antonio Express-News on Tuesday that the three-year deal would allow the Spurs the right to buy Horry out of the third year.
No contract can be signed before July 22 when the free agent signing period begins.
Barr did not say how much the deal is worth.
``Robert believes this (Spurs) team can win more championships,'' Barr told the San Antonio Express-News for its Wednesday editions. ``For him, that's what this game is all about.''
He told KRIV that while Horry considered signing with the Dallas Mavericks, ``Robert's love for the Spurs organization, head coach Greg Popovich and the city of San Antonio was too much for him to walk away from.''
Horry hit a 3-pointer in overtime to give the Spurs the victory in Game 5 of the finals with the Detroit Pistons. He averaged 10.6 points per game in the finals.
