I wish the Spurs can get a future HoF in the Chinese Magic Johnson.

Manu + Mason for Wade :D

Big Deal.....it wouldnt matter unless Riley got strike with lightning bolt and suddenly want to trade Mason + (salary cap filler players here) for Wade. Party in the riverwalk will start before the season even begin...:lol

I wonder if the Heat wanted to sign Mason to play him and Wade in the backcourt.

But when it came to the nut-cuttin' of an either/or situation Riley opted for Johnson over Mason.


Leftovers are sometimes tasty, but they aren't people's first choice.

Uh, he would have taken Mason first, if he would have come for half or less of the MLE, which is what Miami had to offer.. Because we threw $4M at him, Riles was forced to go with Jones, a more limited player who took less money.

James Jones got $22M/5years, which is more annual salary and years than Mason got...Jones was clearly his first target.

Wow. If he got that then I guess he was their first choice since it's definitely more money annually.
