Will he stay or will he go? Roger Mason

340x_medium

Free agency starts tomorrow, and with it comes the chance that some current Wizards might find new homes this off-season.  Today, we give you the chance to weigh in on whether or not you think our free agents will stay in D.C. or be with a new team next season.  In our second installment, we'll be taking a look at Roger Mason.

Why he'd stay:

  • Roger is from the D.C. area, so a
  • Last season, Roger gave an inexperience and streaky bench a steady contributor that could come in and produce.
  • Without question, Roger has enjoyed the most success in his NBA career while in Washington.  Why mess with success?

Why he'd go:

  • With Nick Young slotted as the shooting guard of the future for the Wizards, and DeShawn Stevenson slotted as the shooting guard of the present, it doesn't leave a lot of room for someone who doesn't fill either spot.
  • Gilbert and Antawn's salaries will take up most of the available cap space, so Roger will probably be able to get a better contract somewhere else.

So do you think we'll see Roger back next season?  With 0 being "I've already sold my Roger Mason bobblehead on eBay" and 100 being "I just ordered a new, authentic Roger Mason #8 jersey" rank how confident you are that The Potomac Rainmaker will be back next season.

He is gone, not because there is no

role for him on this team but because Wizards will not be able to afford him after the signing of Gil and Jamison. Abe, no matter if Wizard are down to 10 players will not go close the that lux tax !

Doubt it

He’ll get 3Mil from someone. Thats more than enough to outbid whatever we have left.

I would prefer to replace him with a combo guard that can actually play some PG instead of a 2/3 that can bring the ball up in emergencies. The names don’t spark dreams of titles but they would play a scoring role off the bench not unlike Eddie House or Jannergo Pargo. Pargo opted out but only wants more money to stay in Nola.

All of these guys would love to find a back-up PG job in the NBA. For some its just not happening. Those are the guys who would consider being our Eddie House.

PGs I expect to get backup jobs or more money than we want to pay:
Chris Duhon, Jannero Pargo, Jason Williams, Sebastian Telfair, Anthony Johnson.

guys who might just be looking for a defined role on a playoff team:
Ronald “Flip” Murray
Carlos “TirĂ³n” Arroyo
Tyron Lue
craziest role player ever, should he get bought out: Starbury.

go look at pics of him without it. He doesn’t want to go back there.

Yeah

Say what you want about his hairstyle, but at least it’s distinct. This on the other hand…

Not so much.

No Way

That look defines him. I say keep it.
