Basketball Spurs working to trade Mason

[bjtheman1]

The San Antonio Spurs’ front office is working with Roger Mason’s(notes) agent to trade the veteran guard to a team where he can have a significant role.

“Roger had a terrific season last year after the Spurs had a bunch of injuries, and now that everyone is back healthy and his minutes are limited, the Spurs are trying to do the right thing and find a good spot for him,” Mason’s agent, Mark Bartelstein, told Yahoo! Sports on Monday.

Mason, 29, is averaging 19 minutes and 7.4 points per game. He averaged 30 minutes and nearly 12 points a game a season ago. Mason is in the final season of a two-year deal with Spurs.

One league executive says there’s “significant” interest from other teams in dealing for Mason.

The Miami Heat and Memphis Grizzlies are being considered as possible destinations for Mason.

Wouldn't mind seeing him go, the Spurs need another big man. Don't know what he is crying about as far as minutes, Dejuan Blair doesn't get much minutes either and he averages almost a double double.....

since cuban literally stole the rockets trade this past weekend, i wouldn't mind seeing him in a rocket uniform, i think he would fit adlemans system perfect, but i would not give the spurs anything we have at the moment for him and the rockets need a big man, have enough tweeners already.
