Who said he would be a savior? All any sane person knows at this point is that Finley is done and Mason isnt. That alone makes him better than Finley.
Yeah he's average at best. But Pietrus > Mason.

Javtokas probobly wouldn't take the LLE it would be "insulting" and doubtfull Toronto wants him back
You pietrus fans act like hes Michael Jordan.
Your not gonna convince these knuckle heads.
Pietrus is longer yes, but Im not sure if he's head and shoulders above Mason defensively. But Mason is much better than Pietrus offensively.
Mason is a 2. That he has point guard skills is a plus. Pietrus for 5 years is a panic move and the Spurs weren't going to get him for less than that.
So they keep Barry and Thomas. Meanwhile they've replaced Finley and added very athletic backups at the 1 and 4.Now the spurs are looking at 2 LLE's and with players like Mason who demand half of the LLE and players like Pietrus who's market value is somehow the full MLE, they can't really sign anybody major. unless if they trade their exception or do some S&T's. So basically I think the Spurs will use the rest of their LLE to sign Thomas and the other half of the MLE to sign Barry/Finley/Horry/?
I'm not a pietrus fan I'm a spurs fan and the spurs needed somebody who was long and atheltic and who could defend. Pietrus is tall, lengthy and can defend and Pop can spank the dumbness out of him. I'd rather have had signed Pietrus. But that's just me.

Man this is why I don't post in these threads anymore. Having to read idiotic post after idiotic post makes my ing head hurt. Please stop posting. Please.
Just read what people smarter than you have to say on the subject because it is painfully obvious how clueless you are.
THERE IS NO WAY PIETRUS IS WORTH 5 YEARS OF THE FULL MLE AND IF THE SPURS HAD GIVEN HIM THAT IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A GIANT STEP BACKWARDS KIND OF LIKE THE ONE I TOOK WHEN I READ ONE OF YOUR POSTS.
Thinking through the roster heres what I see now:
Parker/Hill/Vaughn
Ginobili/Bowen/Udoka/Mason
Duncan/Oberto/Mahinmi/Bonner
Lets assume now that the Spurs resign Thomas.
Duncan/Thomas/Oberto/Mahinmi/Bonner
The Spurs stand to sign perhaps 2 more wing players plus another post. Perhaps even 3. Vaughn could be bought out which would free up a roster slot for a project player. Hence the Spurs could waive Vaughn, sign Gist and Hairston, and still be able to bring in a post and another wing.
Hence on the wing:
Ginobili/Mason/FA Wing/Hairston
Bowen/Udoka/Gist
With only the LLE to work with I'd potentially take a stab at a player thats somewhat high risk/high reward.
Having watched him at length I'd consider Kirk Snyder. Although I'm not sure he'd be interested in being the 5th swingman in our rotation.
Someone mentioned Tony Allen might be attainable for the LLE. If thats true then he'd be worth it I think.
Whats the going rate of Dorrell Wright? I really have no idea, but probably more than LLE land I'd assume.
Still, the Spurs should take a stab at developing and signing some players that may pan out. Low cost, short-term contracts seem reasonable. Especially the 2nd round draft pick variety.
Yeah I wish spanking the dumbness out of someone was possible because you'd be my number one project.
Just like this guy:
Brought to you by:
LOL at him thinking anyone thinks Mason is a "savior."
I you re ed? That was the worst comparison. Finley still plays. You bandwagon s. You just think Finley is completely washed up and incapable of playing still....
Yeah, and he's so old now he needs a ing walker to get up the court.
Jaren Jackson once helped us win a championship, maybe you want him to come back too.
It's great than Finley could be an All-Star like 10 years ago, but this is 2008, not 1998.
Look at the difference in prices dumbass!
I'll say it again. The Spurs are going to have a ton of options in terms of assets at the trade deadline. People will want players like this with short contracts that can be bought out or make the team. The free agents this year sucked ass, except for Corey, and when we missed out on him the Spurs needed to look at filling some holes for the short term, basically taking out a flyer on a bunch of youth, and seeing how the team develops through the season.
Players like JR Smith and Pietrius are good but ultimately not championship material. And they come with too many demands for long term contracts.
Players like Udoka, Ian, Mason, Thomas, Hill, and Gist will be combine to make a great package if the right player becomes available at the deadline.
Self pwnage is always the best kind.
Its called NBA League Pass, your cheap ass should cough up the dough to get it. Or call your one friend and go half on it..You watch every single game for every single team...
Is this you?
Yep, we watched him play last year.
We had to do something...and waiting out RFA's until the market drys up only to have the other team match is just too risky, especially with the time we have already lost believing in gette. This is a decent move when you consider all the cir stances. We get a guy in his prime coming of his best season and only have him on the books for 2 years. ing about it just makes you sound bitter toward things that we can do nothing about now.
You bas ... you're so mean.
Yes, the Spurs could find themselves a nice deal before the Feb 2010 trade deadline with a team looking to clear cap for the Summer of LeBron.
The L.A Clippers
