Roger Mason Jr. Signed!

PrintThis seems to be confusing to a bunch of people as well as myself. Umm... I haven't heard much of anything about this besides that he met with the Knicks last Thursday but Roger Mason Jr. seems to think he has a chance with signing with the Knicks.
Opinions people, I want opinions! Here's a quick scouting report.
Roger Mason Jr.- 6'5 SG, 6.3PPG 1.7APG 33% 3P in 19.2 Minutes
Age: 29
Well, that's it. I said quick scouting report. So what do you guys think? I'd bring him in. In the 08-09 Season he shot 42% 3P. He averaged that getting 30 Minutes per game. He's a SG and we've been looking for a 2 so maybe we are in contact with him. I like this signing if its no more then two years but The Don has been really smart so no worries about that. He is climbing up there in age but it's not a huge problem. He's only 29 and I'm pretty sure most people would kill to be 29 again. Lets see what happens.
Edit: We Got Him!! Via Frank Isola
The Knicks will sign Roger Mason, Jr. to a one-year contract worth $1.4 million.
New York will sign Mason in lieu of trading for Rudy Fernandez. Portland was seeking a future No. 1 pick for Fernandez.

This Guy is clutch1
Remeember the game winner agaisnt the spurs!

I forget what this guy really brings
besides a couple clutch moments wit SA.. what does his game say? I havent chk’d on anything about him…im being lazy right now
"they try to do what he do, and been where he's been, but they get folded in two.....he's the dude"
3 pt buckets, and lots of them
not a whole lot else, i don’t think, but he’s a veteran who knows his role and is not going to hurt you with stupid mistakes.
if he’d take a one year deal for the 2.7 mil we have left, i’d be fine with this. he’s a way better fit than Shannon Brown if Donnie thinks we need more depth at the 2 spot.
Have the Knicks
ever had a “Jr.” on the team before? Was Kiki a junior?

thats not funny
Three what reason do you feel the need to make fun of people.
I am a fan of both the mets and knicks... so just kill me now.
i'm ok with this move
it’s minor. i’m ok with the team as it is, and i’m ok with the team if you add roger mason jr.
i’m just ready to start watching games over here!

Well done catching this one early, Mike.
Questions:
1. Can’t Roger Mason afford something swankier than train travel?
2. What P&T detective wants to try and read that LED sign behind him and figure out where in the world he is?
3. Did this acting studio fellow with a camera just approach Mason on the train, or did they already know each other?
"Solid NBA rotation player Roger Mason, Jr."
Just doesn’t have that same ring to it, ya know?

good signing
I like this if its true
I saw him in SA alot because the Spurs are always on TNT or ESPN
guy can shoot lights out
he is the catch and shoot guy we need(something Chandler is not, even though I like his game)
wanted Shannon Brown really wanted Rudy but man this would be a nice bargain here
last year was his worst year
but the few seasons before that he was really good for the Spurs
smart move if we do

Interesting
It seems the Knicks are either not very high on Bill Walker (though they did pick up his option) or they are not too confident in Azubuike being ready.
I think this would be a pretty solid pickup.
Mason can bring up the ball and handle the rock tho
something I don’t think is possible at all with Walker or Bookie.
But another 3pt shooter is always welcome here.
by FreeBradshaw on Aug 5, 2010 10:37 AM EDT up reply actions
Well
Maybe Buike is fine, D’antoni probably doesn’t want Chandler in the rotation at the 2, doesn’t really want Walker playing much and wants a different 2 for the rotation at that position? That could be it. Im hoping Buike is healthy, he plays hard and I want him to start.

I wonder when this video was shot?
Cuz he could be saying “quite possibly the NY Knicks” on Thursday, on the train on the way to meet with the Knicks brass (balls).
And he could be taking the train cuz he’s never experience the glory of NYC transit.
It was uploaded
on August 4th.

Anthony Randolph?
New minorleague site coming soon, with contributions from those who were not seen fit for this site
Jean-Claude Van Damme
would be an awesome PF in SSOL.

He'd be a great guy to spread the floor
But if we did sign him, I can’t imagine Walker, Chandler, Bookie and Mason all see minutes. Especially since Gallo will most definitely get the majority of the minutes at SF. Unless Buike won’t be ready early on so Mason Jr. plays and then gets traded once Bookie is back
It would also
Push Landry Fields even further back in the rotation. And he may already struggle to get minutes
Fields is a 3 right?
Fields is my guy he better get to play
but isnt he a 3 ?
3 pt shooters are always welcome thats why I like Mason Jr here
but your right it creates a logjam
Fields Walker Chandler have to play
all 3 are good players and are developing
by Archie Barberio on Aug 5, 2010 11:02 AM EDT up reply actions
I think Fields is a natural 3
But he’s got a decent 3-pt shot and he’s not too tall (6’7" I think) to play the 2-guard spot, like Gallinari is a little too tall and slow to play 2-guard. I think during the Summer League they were talking about Fields possibly playing the 2
Personally
I think Walker is gonna get traded before the deadline. If not him then Chandler.

Chandler should be getting minutes at the 3
and really only the 3.
Mason hopefully will only be on a 1 year deal, and I think he could provide what we’d want out of Rudy F, and that’s 3pt shooting as well as some ability to run the offense.
Bookie and Walker are really SF’s anyway, but seem to fit in at the 2 cuz they shoot the 3.
Mason would probably be the only true 2-guard on the roster, tho really Toney Douglas could be that if he ate more vegetables when he was younger and grew a few inches.
by FreeBradshaw on Aug 5, 2010 11:18 AM EDT up reply actions
Fields is probably not gonna play much anyway this season
I don’t think its a big deal that he gets less minutes. It’ll provide some more competition in practice and a veteran nipple for the pups to suckle off of.
by FreeBradshaw on Aug 5, 2010 11:20 AM EDT up reply actions
Pass
I don’t think he’s enough of an upgrade over what we already could have with Buke, Bully, WilChan and even TD at the 2 spot… and all are younger.
i dont mind it if its a 1year 2.7mil
with all the injuries a lot of these guys have had, it would be comforting to have another able body on the bench
Yep it looks like its official
Decent signing, it creates a log jam at the SG with no clear starter. Had a bad year last year, but for the price at just over a 1mil should be worth it.
"Everything looks nicer when you win. The girls are prettier, the cigars taste better. The trees are greener."
not really a log jam....
Bookie and Walker are more like 3’s masquerading as 2’s.
Mason is a true 2 and played some point in SA and also at UVA. So no log jam.
Actually, they actually got a 2.
all right but whos your starter?
"Everything looks nicer when you win. The girls are prettier, the cigars taste better. The trees are greener."
tho if Bookie's healthy he should be that
either way to get another guard on the team is a plus, especially one that probably can handle the point.
Mike broke this news!
We need to give this guy his credit he is on top of the news, when we all thought this was a joke (including seth) one day later mason Jr signed. Kudos to Mike the Intern..

Mike is a sadistic member of a cult
that refuses to sleep until the Knicks win a championship. So how ’bout it. Lets win one for the Intern.
