spurs were high on hill
I see no need for barry
mason plays d and does not turn the ball over
Like I said, take your pathetic ass Manu hate to another thread, this is like the 10th free agency thread you've ted on with your Manu bashing.
I mean after all, it's a good thing we signed Hill for when Parker turns into a punk ass ball hog, we finally have someone to bench his ass for.
See how fun this is?
July 8th : Spurs are trying to get Maggette
July 9th : Spurs signs Roger Mason
Mason put up better numbers than Finley in the playoffs, playing less minutes.
spurs better play kurt more
he can rebound
FINLEY IS TOAST
Not young but solid role players who can start in a pinch. I just think the Spurs might be planning a run at an Artest or something at the trade deadline if things like health for the big three go sour. This is why I'm not going to treat the off-season like its our last chance to acquire that fourth option for a championship run.
atleast these role players will be hungry
they never won a le
28 is still pretty young, especially for the Spurs
That was the Spurs biggest problem, rebounds? Really...
WOW
Roger Mason Jr?
What, did Juan Dixon demand 3 years?
Was Mo Evans too expensive?
Agree. When do the Spurs ever give out numbers? Particularly this early of a communication release, plus this was just in a blog. We may not know the answer to this until the next Spurs signing or two. I think a bit too high for this kid, but then again, this summer's FA market is paying avg. players above avg. salaries.
Maybe RC liked Mason's hair? JK.....
Keep working RC, no breaks.
i live in DC, he is your typical "udoka" signing, good guy, not bad game, not great game either. He shoots alot, doesnt take it to the hoop and is your basic SG who hangs out and shoots jumpers. Anytime everyone mentioned the 5 or 6 guys we wanted this offseason, i would see mason alot and shiver alittle, knowing he was the last guy i wanted on that list, but was most likely to be signed. and here he is....well boys, i am sure the spurs will win 50 games next year and have a deep run like always, but it aint looking good for ring numero 5
Better rebounding out of their 2? Come on now.
The Spurs rebounding numbers will go up just with the additions of Ian, Hill and Gist (if he sticks which I think he will).
Pluses --
Cheap.
Good 3 point shooter (a real key I think).
Good guy.
Insures that JR Smith won't be a Spur.
Minuses:
Poor overall shooting percentage (.405)
Kind of old considering his lack of NBA experience.
Can he stop a scoring drought?
Overall:
The SG equivalent of Elson (which I kinda like on balance).
For better or worse, this is a Jackie Butler/Elson type summer.
The dude can shoot, but he needs to pick his spots. Im happy for some signing though.
A 2 that can rebound is exactly what we need. We give up so many rebounds because our guards think only the power forward and center need to box out.
Pluses:
Can handle the rock
Shot a solid 39.8% on 300+ 3pt FG attempts last season.
Shot a respectable 44% from the field in the first season in which he got regular minutes.
I would add that he is an outstanding FT shooter. I don't see him as a SG equivalent to Elson. He's got a better bb iq.Pluses --

And got to love that free throw % and the fact he doesnt turn the ball over.

He had some really good games when he got a good amount of minutes. Guy is an unknown, doesnt mean he wont be good.
It took Mason quite a while to figure out the NBA game (and get a decent opportunity to).
But he was playing outstanding ball at the end of last season, much better than Dixon (or others like him) have ever.
Mason's no Maggette, but he's an adequate consolation prize.
i wanted someone that could take it to the rack, thats why i liked Kelenna A., he could take it to the rack...i watched probably 50 spurs games last year, i saw maybe 20 dunks all year, seriously. and they were all duncan put back dunks. Now the know the spurs have never been a team of high flyers, but even looking at 2003, i can remember malik throwing it down on mutombo, or kevin willis putback on the lakers to humuiliate them in game 6...those are the sparks teams need to make runs...something the spurs didnt have this year. in getting mason jr., your getting another jump shooter to go along with all the other jump shooters the spurs have..that is why they go in scoring droughts, no one with the ability to get to the line and put pressure on the defense....
FWIW
in the 9 games he started as a Wizard, he averaged:
17.4 pts, 3 rebounds, 3.5 assists
washington also asks its guards to take a lot of jumpers. i would suspect his shooting percentage to go up in the spurs system.
Why would a jump shooting 2 who mainly shoots from the outside need to be a great rebounder? Of course Mason isn't a huge rebounder. Same reason Barry isn't a huge rebounder. No surprise.
