We Need RMJ Back

[chazley]

So why are you asking for a list of players who can do that for the vet min?

[Mel_13]

Not realistic? He averaged 12 points and shot 42% from 3 the year before last. To say he could average 10 pts and 40% from 3 is not unrealistic.

Also, Mason will get picked up fast, and will probably get the full MLE from a team. He would sign here for less IMO b/c he loves the city, but most teams covet what Mason brings. They understand Pop played him out of position the whole year and he injured his shooting wrist.

Yeah, so why haven't we heard anything yet?

Full MLE?

You'll see. He's receiving plenty of interest.

so this is the reason of his poor season I thought it was because RMJ sucks, ufffaaa.

maybe chazley is RMJ, after the tweet story, he decided to defend his case here.

[Mel_13]

Interest, perhaps.

MLE.....

lol full MLE...

lol full MLE...

Steve Blake just got 4.5 mil/year for 4 years at 30 years old to go play backup PG for the Lakers.

These kind of deals will be the norm this summer with soooo much cap space. This is not a normal offseason, a ton of tier-3 guys will get paid like tier-2 guys, tier-2 like tier-1, etc.

Steve Blake is a HOF compared to RMJ

[chazley]

You were wrong.

He had a down year because his shooting wrist was injured and he played backup PG for wayyy too many minutes when he got on the court.

[chazley]

False. RMJ would be a bigger contributor on a championship team than Steve Blake ever will be.

You're a good guy, Roger. I hope you do well wherever you end up. Sorry that your phone isn't ringing and you have so much time to post on Spurstalk. For the record, I still think you were better than Bogans. Don't let the door hit ya where the good lord split ya.

Same to you. you may now exit the thread.

Man, you're killing yourself.

Blake got 4yrs/16M

The full MLE is 5yrs/34M

So you're not satisfied with making the rather dubious assertion than Mason is a better NBA player than Blake. You actually believe that he's so much better than Blake that he'll get a contract that will guarantee him more than twice what Blake will get from the Lakers.

Sorry, was thinking about Hakim Warrick, who is an even better example. He got 4.5 million a year and has proven nothing yet in the NBA.

And also, full MLE doesn't mean max years. 3 yrs/17.4 mil is not out of the question for Mason.

[chazley]

Also, I said he would 'probably' get the MLE. That doesn't mean I 100% think he will. If he got 4-5 mil a year I wouldn't be surprised either.

[fusionjazzman72]

We need Mason back. He is our best shooter, and I think he can be very effective for us in a 3 guard lineup with 2 bigs. He was injured last year, and if we got the 08-09 Mason back it would be a steal. Bottom line, The RJ situation effed us, and we will not get a better shooter for the vet minimum than we would with Mason, who will probably command something around the midlevel in this specific free agent market but we could probably get a home discount because he loves it in SA. Pop used him horribly wrong last year, only giving him minutes at backup PG near the end of the year, and if he doesn't play another minute at point in his career, he can be very solid for us off the bench in a Brent Barry role.

I know everyone bashes Mason because he had a bad year, but he was injured and wasn't played correctly. C'mon Spurs, give him another shot.

Yes we need him back along with Darwin Cook, Jon Sunvold, Wes Matthews, Jeff Cook, Ozell Jones, Alfrederick Hughes, Corey Alexander etc...

Maybe you should just stop creating re ed threads.

Mason's not likely to get a pay raise after the way he's performed. Even at less than 4m a year he's not remotely useful to the Spurs.

[chazley]

Maybe you should just stop creating re ed ones, Rog.

Since you're not contributing at all to this thread just leave. Enough idiots have already suggested I'm RMJ which is just stupid. If you'd like to have a discussion about the topic which I created I'd love to discuss it with you.

[Brazil]

dude sorry for the tweets it was just some bored spurs fans... nothing personnal

What are you talking about? I'm keeping it bumped up to the top. That's the only contribution anyone can make to this re ed thread. The reason people are suggesting you're Mason is because the OP was so mind-blowingly stupid.

If you're suggesting that teams are going to have way too much money to spend on suckass players, and that one of them will be stupid enough to throw a lot of money at Mason, I might be inclined to agree with that possibility. That possibility, however, makes your suggestion that the Spurs should go after him all that much dumber.

Seriously, did you actually have a point when you decided to start a thread?

If it's 'mind-blowingly stupid', then back up your points with facts instead of just insulting me. I've laid out all my points throughout the thread.
