poof be gone
http://twitter.com/WojYahooNBASpurs working to help accommodate Roger Mason with a trade, agent Mark Bartelstein tells Y! Minutes down, wants to play. Spurs cool with it.
beat me to it
Might as well let him go.
No more Mason will help free up time at PF for Ian.
sounds like it... can't blame him...
You would ask for a trade too if they would put you behind the rotten corpse of Finley in the rotation...
Do it now then if he wants out. Do some sort of combo of Mason, Bonner, Finley, etc. for Tyrus Thomas and Salmons or Camby/Telfair...
I think the Spurs are making a mistake by not playing him. I honestly hope they don't trade him, and play him more. He's a lot better than Bogans so he should've started instead of him.
mason wont resign neway when he was buried in the rotation after last seasons playoff disaster spurs might as well c what they can get
Mason wants trade from Spurs
By Adrian Wojnarowski
The San Antonio Spurs’ front office is working with Roger Mason’s agent to trade the veteran guard to a team where he can have a significant role.
“Roger had a terrific season last year after the Spurs had a bunch of injuries, and now that everyone is back healthy and his minutes are limited, the Spurs are trying to do the right thing and find a good spot for him,” Mason’s agent, Mark Bartelstein, told Yahoo! Sports on Monday.
Mason, 29, is averaging 19 minutes and 7.4 points per game. He averaged 30 minutes and nearly 12 points a game a season ago. Mason is in the final season of a two-year deal with Spurs.
One league executive says there’s “significant” interest from other teams in dealing for Mason.
I opposed trading him most of the season, but if Pop isn't going to play him, then what's the point of having him rotting on the bench instead of trading him?
Okay, so if Mason's agent wants the Spurs to move him . . .
Does that imply that they weren't looking to move him beforehand as an expiring deal leading to the agent making the request (which would mean they weren't looking to make a deal at all) . . .
Or it just that the request so happens to coincide with the Spurs plans? A case of "Please trade my client." met by a response of "Way ahead of you."
The Bulls trade for Thomas/Salmons once again makes perfect sense.
Mason + Vaughn for Stoudemire.
Come on RC.
damn, I like Roger
the PG experiment should've never happened. Just ed everything up.
thanks for playing in my favorite Christmas game, Roger <3
Hopefully we can get something good in return. I'm sure his trade value is pretty high for his current salary
Owner's committee member: Peter Holt
Player's committee members: Mason, Ratliff
Buh-BYE.
Interesting considering this from two days ago:
http://www.realgm.com/src_wiretap_ar...n_san_antonio/Spurs guard Roger Mason Jr. hasn't heard any specific trade rumors, but told reporters Thursday that he wants to stay right where he is.
"I want to be in San Antonio for my career," Mason said. "I want to win a championship here. That would be the ultimate."
Mason knows that the NBA is a business, but San Antonio coach Gregg Popovich has hinted that the team will stand pat past Thursday's trade deadline.
He has an expiring contract worth $3.78 million, an attractive chip to a trade partner looking to cut payroll.
"If something happens, it happens," Mason said. "You can't really worry about it or control it. I can only control what I can, and that's to help this team win."
I'd like to see this story tweeted :
Agent: Mahinmi wants in
It's funny how people can make a trade with Fin,Mason,Bonner..... .If we don't want them how we are going to find a team to get good players for them.
Yup, that's what I said. Some sort of Mason, Bonner, Finley, cash, picks, whatever package for Thomas/Salmons...
probably will go in some kind of combo trade to Wash for Oberto.
He's pretty much proven he is nothing more than a gunner. I don't see him getting significant minutes on any playoff team.
So much for being about team. Good riddance.
maybe the wizards would like him back in a package for Jamison?
.
He should be playing big minutes for us but instead we'll trade him in return for less than he is worth.
Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!
