Spurs Sign Roger Mason Jr.

I agree with everything DPG said the first 10 or so pages of this thread. He was spot on in his description of Mason. Kudos to him.

What do you want, a cookie?

Yes.

Short term contract for a bench role.

^ If Manu was healthy, it probably would have been a bench role.

Overall I am happy with Mason and I am glad the Spurs have him to play his role. I wish his defense would pick up, but I like what he brings to a stacked team like the Spurs.

Your not gonna convince these knuckle heads.

good, good. I think this means Barry is going. if not. Mason + Barry will be great off the bench.

I am happy with this. Mason is clutch and has great handles. and is not lazy on D either. and has a nice shot. He is one of the players that came through for Wizards when Arenas was out. He was great when Wiz beat Boston twice in 3 nights.

he will fit in the spurs like a glove. you shall see and quote me on this.

what a waste of $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

thanks whoever bumped this thread!

Except his handles are not great and he sucked on defense and he melted down in the PO's.

Finley is a better defender than Mason physically and mentally. That is a lot to say about Mason's defense.

nobody in the Spurs FO expected him to have Bowen type defense. IMO he came as replacement of Barry a clutch good cheap shooter. He was that and then some.

good signing for the money

not to mention he is no PG either. Pop ed up on that one. But he had no choice, we didnt have a backup PG.

[DPG21920]

I agree with that, but your post said he had "great handles", "not lazy on D" and "clutch". He did have a fantastic regular season with the game winners, but the playoffs were lacking.

It does not worry me though. He is not the kind of player that can be clutch when teams game plan for him. But when they have TP, Manu, Tim and RJ to worry about, he should step up.

[hater]

not lazy on D, which means he tries. His D does not suck that bad.

he has good handles for a SG, not a PG

I see him continuing to contribute as a solid backup for the Spurs this season .you can bump this next year.

[DPG21920]

I think the same thing.
