I've heard good things about this guy in summer league play... is everyone happy with this signing?

[SpursTillTheEnd]

that aint even funny homie omwrecker a ho

Love the signing, think hes better than mase was two years ago, he can get his own shot. I could see him working his way into the starting line up if we move TP. Still we now have 4-5 SG unless Anderson is playing the 3.

The Mase of two years ago would pimp-slap you. Dude was an absolute baller for the Spurs the season before last when Manu was toast.

And while Neal may have been able to get his own shot against generally less-athletic Euroleague compe ion, it remains to be seen if he can do so in the NBA.

I'm not saying he won't work out...I'm just cautioning people to temper their expectations of the guy.

I really feel sorry for people that think he's going to be better than Mason of two years ago. Hopefully he can play well enough to compete for a spot, and make some shots if he does, but there's a reason he's 26 and still hasn't played in the NBA.

Roger Mason was 27 before he got any minutes in the NBA.

But, but he was awesome in Summer league! That accounts for something right?

Just ask George hi... oh wait..
Just ask Anthony Toli..crap... never mind.

You should check your facts. Roger Mason was drafted at the beginning of the second round when he was 21, and he made the team and played 17 games his rookie season.

The FO does not agree with you, thats why they locked him up for 3 years you dont give a guy that kind of deal unless you know what you have. Some guys just develop late.

They had to give him a deal like that or else he was going to go back to Europe. The season starts there before training camp IIRC.

Warren moon played a long time before he got to the NFL and that worked out OK.

Warren moon didn't get drafted into the NFL because he was black and refused to change positions.

Neal is just gonna have to find mins behind manu, Anderson and Hill......I still think the Spurs are looking to deal tp, if so Neal will be in the rotation.

There's just so much wrong with the above I have nothing to say to it.

Ugh can't people just ing do a search?

And averaged 6 minutes and 2 points. He topped out at 3.7 ppg until he was 27 years old.

6 minutes is any minutes. I hate to break it to you. Comparing that to a guy that didn't get drafted and hasn't played a second in the NBA thus far is pretty re ed.

So he just can't live up to Mason because he played 30 mpg in Italy instead of 10 mpg in the NBA. There's no hope for the guy. You're right.
