He can probably have Finley back after 30 days. C'mon Pop..it's just a month.What's probably holding up that trade is that Pop doesn't want to let Finley go....
Anyone who can't play defense is expendable.
While I like Mason's 'no fear' at ude to take shots...it seemed this season he was jacking up horrible shots.
Mason was brought in to infuse the team with some offense....and that's no longer a problem with G. Hill, Blair and RJ on the team.

get us back someone that is not as dumb as RJ please.
Mason is definitely better than bogans but if we can bring in another big to help us out im all for this...
plus what some people dont realize is that manus 27 mpg and tonys 32 mpg are all going to be going up significantly in the playoffs and as we get closer to the playoffs... we really dont even have that much time left for mason or bogans on the court anyway... especially with hill playing the way hes been.
Thats 29 days too long for Pop...
Given his standing with the team, contractual status and the looming CBA, this isn't all that surprising; it's understandable, really.
But, what is surprising, is seeing something like this play out in public with the Spurs. This is something we've come to we expect from other, lesser teams and players -- professionally speaking.
What a year . . .
Too many Spurs fans are idiots.......I remember last year and earlier this year when Mase hit lots of game ending shots, or was lights out from the perimeter. Let Pop sit a guy for whatever reason he has, and the guy cant come in and hit a shot right away, then everyone crucifies the guy. Im telling you right now, the NBA is all about the green light..........you have it, and you can do no wrong. If you DONT and you shoot and miss? Your ass is in the dog house.
good, a trade would benefit both camps. maybe the spurs can get someone who get knock down the 3 AND play defense. wouldn't that be something?
Dang, its take a on Mase thread.
More like 32 days too longThats 29 days too long for Pop...
It forces the Spurs to do something, too bad Dallas got the real prize before Mason came out with this BS.
In the NBA, if you're a shooter and can only really do that, you have to make your shots consistently. Mason hasn't done that or he would be getting major minutes. I'm sure people would like to pin this one on Pop as well, but Mason dug his own grave by missing too many open shots, playing crappy defense, and not doing much of anything else. If you didn't know this, we already have a guy like that playing major minutes in RJ.
I'm not going to cry over Mason's trade demands..while he's obviously a seriously flawed player, he still has a right to complain after falling behind ty players like Finley and Bogans in the rotation for no reason..
Finley's role just always hurts the Spurs somehow..
I am wondering though if Mason Jr. made this request before the last Nuggets game and was that a reason why Pop started him against the Nuggets to showcase him?
Who do you have in mind?
The more I think about it, I can also imagine some CIA at work. By having Mason demand a trade, other FOs are given the impression that the trade is being offered to accommodate a player, not out of desperation to improve -- ie, Spurs are given some leeway to negotiate a trade without having to bend over a barrel to do so. That it helps Mason out just makes it a win/win.
A bit fanciful, but a bit plausible, too.
As an option, gets Wash under the tax, Chicago gets shooters on expiring deals, we get talent. Salmons is a better fit from a size standpoint, but it's a similar idea, though I don't know if Washington gives up on Foye as he was a key piece of the Rubio trade.

OR to get Memphis More help on the Wing, Save more money for Washington, Possibly also move The 27th pick in 08 or 09 to do it(Carroll or Arthur, Going to Washington)

mason for Kirk Hinrich straight up so pop can play extreme small ball with kirk, ,TP,manu,rj and td yayy!
or hinrich tp manu rj and ghill
You're probably right, still it sucks that the Mavs got what the Spurs needed. I appreciate Holt for paying the payroll but it hurts to see that the Lakers/Mavs can just bite the bullet and roll the dice financially anytime they want.
What about Blatche for RMJ?
Works straight up
As much as i'd like a trade, I'm pretty sure we're staying put.
That was the problem with Mason.... he always thought the light was green.
Lame. I understand the guy probably just wants to play more minutes or a more significant role, but I lost a little respect for RMJ with this. I wanted to take his side during all of this trade talk, but from the sounds of it, he could be instigator.
At least this means we should see some movement on the trade front.
This also means that unless the Spurs bring in another shooter (which would be questionable considering our need for a defensive big), then we're stuck with Bogans or Finley for the rest of the year.
That does appear to be the most obvious solution. Chicago gets cap space for next year. Spurs get a decent wing for next year at a reasonable price. Mason gets more playing time. Finley retires in his hometown. Wins all the way around.
I am pretty sure that you are not sure. How can you make a statement like that unless you work for the Spurs? You're just guessing.
