Yeah-- not one negative word, all the comments praised him for being a classy team player. I especially liked the one that said, "Roger-- I hope you get lots of playing time for those boring ass Spurs..."Quote:

If someone else knows how to imbed that video, then please do.
The other video I found was him talking about his hair. Great.
Good move by the Spurs, but this just about all but concludes that the Spurs have moved on from Barry.
If the Spurs used the LLE on him, it's a damn nice steal. We get younger defensive Brent Barry and we would still have the MLE to spend on an even better swing such as Kelenna or JR.
If the Spurs used the MLE on him, that's pretty risky of them. Mason is a good guy, but this would've just followed this offseason's pattern of overpaying due to lack of overall talent in the market. Hopefully we get Barry back with the LLE if the MLE has been used.
I hope it's for the LLE
We need J.R or Azabuike with the MLE
We're either gonna be sad that we're not bringing back Barry, or gonna be pissed that we signed Mason over Azubuike/Smith. Hopefully just sad.
This kid stuck it out and upped his game. Roger was an excellent college player but was a tweener coming out. Got hurt, as I recall. He has good all-around skills and can make some things happen. I would guess the Spurs signed him for 3 years with the third year as a team option.
Typical Spurs signing....not earth-shatteringly great, but I'm sure it'll turn out to be an effective move.
I fully expect the Spurs to follow with an offer to either Najera or Delfino.
Barry isn't exactly gone, but Mason brings the same thing that Barry brings plus defense, so he's probably gone. And if we signed him for the LLE, then Barry's definitely gone.Quote:

He is quite good role player but if he is Spurs main signing of the summer, it will suck ass.

Why does this mean Barry is gone?
Looks like a Finley replacement to me. Mason did a good job filling in for starters last season, now he gets his chance at starting fulltime at SG. If anything we need Barry in that backup role more now with an inexperienced starter.
So we're basically waiting on the terms of the deal to decide whether or not it's a good signing.
For the LLE or min, :tu!
For more then half or the whole MLE, :td!!!
Jeff McDonald: Spurs strike deal with Mason
It didn't take long for the Spurs to move on from Corey Maggette.
According to two league sources, the Spurs have reached an agreement with free-agent guard Roger Mason Jr. that would pay him $7.5 million over two years.
Mason, 27, was a revelation for the Washington Wizards last season, his fourth in the NBA. He averaged 9.1 points off the bench, helping the Wizards overcome injuries to guards Gilbert Arenas and Antonio Daniels and make the playoffs.
News of Mason's impending arrival in San Antonio comes a day after Maggette spurned the Spurs and other suitors to accept a five-year, $50 million deal with Golden State.
This isn't the first time the Spurs have shown interest in Mason. They offered him a three-year contract last summer, but he opted to return to Washington for one more season.
A year later, the Spurs appear to have landed their man.

Crap, that means we only have ~$2M in the MLE left.Quote:

After Barry was great enough to come back to us after the trade last season, AND be one of the only Spurs to gut it out to the death during the WCF, I say he should have the right and support to test the market and get PAID.
this offseason fucking sucks
spurs need to trade for jr smith with their trade exception
get denver below the tax
