Denver Nuggets free agent guard Jon Barry sees the disinterest he's been shown by general manager Kiki Vandeweghe as a sign it may be time for him to hang it up.
Barry said Thursday he will consider retiring if he doesn't get what he considers an acceptable offer.
"Sure, that's an option if I don't get a situation that I like," he said.
Barry would like to return to Denver, but doesn't see an opportunity there. Atlanta, where he makes his home, and the Los Angeles Clippers are other possible destinations.
But Vandeweghe thinks Barry may be getting ahead of himself.
"Jon is way too talented and has too much basketball left to retire," Vandeweghe said.

Lookout world, Carmelo Anthony has a message for you, specifically Argentina, Lithuania and the other best basketball teams:
"We're guaranteeing a gold medal. We're bringing it back."
Coach Larry Brown when informed of Anthony's guarantee, said "That's just a young kid saying that, but as long as he respects the people we're playing against and understands how good they've got, I don't have any problem with that."
There haven't been any replies to the guarantee from any other world teams yet.
"I guess that's going to make the games more fun," Anthony said. "Right now, teams are not scared of us no more. Why not hype the games up? It's the Olympics. We're having fun, man. We've got to go over there and win."
