    If the Spurs are determined to have Manu come off the bench and maximize what Duncan and Timmy do, then Barry has a better chance of starting than Mason does.
    Barry's body is breaking down and he'd no longer defensively capable enough to start in the NBA. That said, I doubt Po will go with Mason right away as the starter. Pop will go with Manu to begin the year as a starter and then make a move at some point, per usual.

    Spurs were never connected to Pietrus in any free agent talk. He's just not a good fit. His YouTube videos look nice but anyone who actually watched him play could see that he has a painfully low basketball IQ. The last time the Spurs went with the guy with the low basketball IQ just because he was athletic ... that didn't work out that well. The Spurs are a smart basketball team and having a special ed player, especially out on the perimeter, wouldn't work.

    Pietrus can't even make the French NT because of his lack of basketball smarts. Great athlete, good shoot, good defender, dumb as a doorknob. He would have been in Pop's doghouse by the third preseason game.

    I highly doubt the Spurs considered Pietrus at all.
    And with Tony Parker's increased standing within the organization, him also not being a big fan of Pietrus is also another alarming sign.

    That's possible, but Barry didn't look bad either before the injury or in the playoffs. And I don't think he's nearly the defensive liability that last year's starter is. It's about time for him to start scoring like he did in Seattle, and that can happen as a starter. It's the Finley principle: If he's scoring, it's okay if he's not playing D.

    I also agree that Manu will start; my point was that Mason won't.

    If this guy isn't athletic i see no possible way a shorter than 6'5" shooting guard is going to do anything but ride the bench and slowly learn the system to become barely serviceable by playoffs....

    I see no indication that he is a bad ass shooter, so we got another Udoka, but younger. Prahps.

    What's funny is we were driving home and I ask Kori if she thought the Spurs did anything while we were gone and she said "Yeah, the Spurs probably signed Roger Mason and the forum is melting down because of it."

    I think she's not giving me the full inside scoop

    I like that he has a few tats, mini dreads and drives an Aston Martin.

    He might have exactly what the Spurs need.

    Roger Mason is exactly what the Spurs needed to insure another shot at the Finals.

    Not!

    But hey, we can always hope for the best, right?

    we were a healthy ginobili away for putting up a fight in the WCF. i think we just need to re up on role players and this is certainly a good move so far.

    dont be so sure mason wont start, hes a good shooter, he plays D and can handle the ball, i think thats a HUGE upgrade at our 2 position just cause he can make plays and play D. he'll spell finleys role just fine imo.

    neither of the two glaring needs the spurs have have been met this offseason. and it looks 90% likely that neither will. it's too bad that great players like manu and tim have such heads like holt and buford running this organization.

    Mason scored more points per minute than any of the free agents being discussed prominently outside of Maggette and JR Smith. Scoring, at least last year, is not a weakness for Mason.

    Perhaps we can still land a C.J Miles? someone that can maybe have a shot to come in and bring some needed athleticism?

    I like the pickup of Roger Mason. the dude can flat out shoot the ball.. especially from 3 and we could have used that A LOT last year against NO and LA when finley was launching up bricks game after game.

    on another note i also agree we need to get a little more athletic then this.. someone who can run in the open floor and make plays happen.. but i like roger mason... hes a good player

    He might start eventually. If he's the starting 2 in November, either the Spurs are plagued by injuries or Mason's on the way to becoming the free agent steal of the year.

    Mason isn't going to be our saviour, but if he's better on both sides of the ball than Finley, that alone is going to help us out tremendously. Afterall, we were a Manu injury away from the Finals. Mason wasn't the best acquisition we could get with the MLE but certainly a player that could thrive under Pop.

    I guess that means they never had Pietrus on their radar after all.
    Nor JR Smith.

    I'm not too thrilled with his height either. Listed as 6'5, but he looks 6'2.

    Half of the I look up says he is closer to 6'2". Which makes me lol yet again. I'm completely unsurprised.

    even if he was a legit 6'5", that size of shooting guard is near obsolete in today's upper caliber nba team. Especially if they have no freakish athleticism or freakish shot *cough*jrsmith*cough*
