Spurs Sign Roger Mason Jr.

Are you seriously dogging me? You look like the ing manager of Rooms to Go or some

I YOU RE ED?

Wait, Mason has better offensive numbers than Pietrus and people are pissed the Spurs didn't sign him for the entire MLE? Seriously?

Pietrus was injured and lost mintues to Azubikue a much superior player and barnes. Alongside with Sjax and harrington playing the same positions pietrus saw limited mintues.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

I'm not saying he clearly would take 1 year at the full mle, 3 years would have been nice. it would be like a pipe dream if he agreed to 2, but

ALL I AM ASAYING IS THAT FOR NEXT SEASON I WOULD RATHER HAVE HAD PIETRUS THAN MASON, THAT IS ALL.

For next season I would like to have Lebron, but it ain't happening. And neither was Pietrus on the Spurs for anything less than the full MLE for five years.

That's a mistake I'm rather glad the Spurs didn't make.

Nice

[samikeyp]

ing hilarious!

[Buddy Holly]

Tear. Down. Cheek.

[AFBlue]

But dont you think that the fact the Spurs wanted to sign him to a 3 year deal before he even had his "breakout" year is kind of encouraging? I mean, they must really like the guy.

Bet the three-year deal was for Udoka-type money.

Seriously, I see the skill-set and at ude. It doesn't seem like a bad signing, until you consider the opportunity cost of signing him to a deal greater than half the MLE.

I hope he works out and continues to shoot a respectable percentage...I just think it should be a red flag that the Spurs signed a Shooting Guard who has a questionable history when it comes to shooting.

[tav1]

I'm trying to take the optimistic line. I like Mason's game; he's not a bad player. But, uh, using that much of the MLE on him is worrisome and discouraging.

But, I'm going to excercise a little patience. The Spurs might know something that we don't. And they might have something else up their sleave--a basement bargain, a Matt Bonner trade, use for the TE. We'll see.

If we were able to sign Delfino or Allen, I'd feel a little better. Not earth shakers, I know. But a little more athleticism and youth to shore up the end of the bench would help.

I don´t know the transaction details, but i´m only want one thing

Every year, i want a MLE and a LLE player

You mean LeBron won't take the MLE?

I AGREE.

Yeah and now the Spurs are stuck with Mason, because they think they can go for a big name in 2010.

So, they should go for a "name" this summer with no money to speak of, but it's foolish to do so in 2010?

[K-State Spur]

I don't think a lot of people understand how far the Spurs defense slipped last year. A lot of the scoring droughts the Spurs go through have been around since Pop started coaching this team, but the fact is their defense made little light of it since they would shut teams down. Over the years they'd gone away from players who thrived in that with the additions of Finely, Oberto, and Barry but I think this summer they've taken a step back in that direction.

I don't know if the reasoning is correct or not (we'll see next season) but I suspect the Spurs feel that their offense isn't the biggest problem at the moment but their defense is.

This is very true. Our boys weren't winning meaningful games 85-80 juggernaught that never went into slumps.

[Buddy Holly]

Pietrus was injured and lost mintues to Azubikue a much superior player and barnes. Alongside with Sjax and harrington pietrus saw limited mintues.

The best the guy has ever done is 11 in 27 minutes.

Give Mason 27 minutes a game and he'll put up more than 11.

this thread is AWESOME

[DPG21920]

wtf do we care? I have two graduate degrees and it means nothing for my basketball a en. Completely unimportant. The only reason to talk about such things is to scratch your asshole itch.

I'm sorry, wait. You have a masters degree... What I mean to say is, "it's a real privelage to have you on the board. You're brighter than all of us. Do you mind if we chime in once in awhile or would you rather we just find a place near your feet and listen?"

Why don't you read the comments before instead of taking it out of context. People on HERE are the ones that act like they are so smart and that no one should disagree with them. They are elitist and treat people with no respect. The ONLY reason I brought up my education was because he called me re ed and tried to imply I was stupid because of a Spurs forum thread. Check my threads, I have never treated people like they do, and I respect peoples opinions. I may disagree, but I never presume to make judgment calls on people and their life accomplishments based on basketball discussions.

im sorry man, but that's a weaker response than you needed

Well as far as I see it spurs will have max money to throw around which is pretty powerful, but i know it sounds redundant, but our market isn't that big. Getting Lebron, Melo, Wade or any of the other top 04 draft class is a pipe dream. I'm not too sure who else is availabe taht year. but I expect the Spurs not to sign one big player to the max that year, but a couple of really good role players to fill in what the spurs need in key spots.

People will jump on anyone claiming Finley still has game.

* Called certain people re s

* Insinuated he was smarter than me because I'm an Aggie

* Calls the whole board elitist

Yep, no hypocrisy in his comments...

I hope he does. that's why I said it is all moot with alll this ongoing talk about pietrus. I hope mason tears it up. All i said was that I thought pietrus was better than mason. people should have just read that and accepted it as one man's opnion, but people here are fiesty.
