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.
