I would give him another team before February. I don't like guys that play as he did in the last playoffs and if we add Bonner and Finley we might get a good defender that bring us back to the le fight.

Mason Jr defense in last year playoffs was one of the worst things I ever seen. And he started this season the same way.
But after his terrible start on D he got better and now he's doing a fine job. I hope he can keep his D in a decent level so he can help us
I think he'll ask the organization what his role is going to be in the future. If they tell him they see him as a role player and will continue to use him as he's being used he'll walk.
I think he's a better player that what we're seeing. He doesn't get a lot of minutes and the spurs don't run plays for him even when he has the hot hand. He's a pure shooter and a lot of teams out there will be interested in him. He reminds me of an early career Joe Johnson. Given the opportunity he might becoming a real player in this league.
Of course everything changes if the Spurs win the le.
The thing is he's already 29 years old, you cant' expect much improvement at this age. He'll put better numbers if he gets a bigger playing time but that's about it.
3 years/15 mil seems reasonable for me to keep mase... ofcourse, if it doesnt go against our MLE.
Mason is our best shooter from 3 and from mid range, his improvements on everything else this season should be promise enough to show he will keep getting better.
trade him now! I don't trust him at all, he'd be more at home shooting 25 shots a game for a bad team, he doesn't seem to be very good role player for a good team, role players need to be able to play D and shoot without having to get into a rhythm, Mason has neither of these qualities.
I'm not a fan of Bogans either but I'd take Bogans over Mason any day of the week.
but we need to go out and find a Legit 2 this off season, or even right now, I'd trade TP and/or Manu and/or Mase... we need a star on this team who can bring it EVERY NIGHT!! no one on this team is able to show up for every game except for TD, it's pathetic.
what happened to TP? he's an average PG now, he can't do against good defenses, and neither can Manu or anyone but TD. TD is a s of his former greatness and yet he's now the only reliable player on this team, he's carrying the Spurs when he was supposed to finally have real talent around him
the only players on this team that are untouchable IMO are Hill, TD, and Blair, and Bonner the rest of the team has been garbage so far, I'll cut a little slack for RJ being that he's new, but I can't believe the regression I've seen from TP, and I can't believe the FO still thinks we can count on Manu against good teams, he should have been traded by now.
Your takes are weak. Roger's defense and all around game have been improving, and its not gone unnoticed. He's more than earned my trust on last year's late game heroics alone and as far as I can tell he's about as plug n play as you can get as a shooter, no warm up shots needed with Roger.trade him now! I don't trust him at all, he'd be more at home shooting 25 shots a game for a bad team, he doesn't seem to be very good role player for a good team, role players need to be able to play D and shoot without having to get into a rhythm, Mason has neither of these qualities.

This. I expect the Spurs to offer him something like 2 years, $4-6 million. Then I fully expect them to be outbid by another team that overpays and signs Mason for 3 years, $10-15 million.
Agreed. I do believe that he has been noticed by other teams as a potential FA this off season. That is why I started the thread and thought he would command a pay raise next year. Maybe not as big as I originally thought due to some of the reasoning from more astute members on this board but someone who will be sought after. But all of this will hinge on his performance come playoff time. If he fades like last year then that pay raise is moot from the Spurs point of view. He could turn into another Hedo and get that significant offer, which the Spurs will not try to match or negotiate, and leave only to fade for that particular team until he finally gets it together.
I hope we are seeing the new and improved Mase for the rest of the season and into the POs.
3-4 million a year for 3 years.
if by weak you mean prophetic and insightful, sit back and watch my words become reality game after game
The MLE is for Splitter
Mason is out, remember this team has already tried to trade him twice. You can get good shooters for the minimum.
