Interest in Desmond Mason

Post #1 » by **The J Rocka** » Thu Sep 3, 2009 3:51 am

Roger Montgomery, the agent for free-agent swingman Desmond Mason, told FanHouse his client visited Denver earlier this week and there is "mutual interest'' between the parties in Mason possibly signing with the Nuggets. "I think he'd bring a lot to the Nuggets. He's played for George [Karl] before, which is a big bonus,'' Montgomery said of Mason playing for the Nuggets coach when both were with Milwaukee in 2002-03. "Absolutely [Mason is] interested.'' Montgomery said one reason Mason visited Denver was for his knee to be checked out. Montgomery said Mason, who missed about half of last season with Oklahoma City due to a hyperextended right knee, has a "clean bill" of health. FanHouse

He'd be a good pickup for the bit that JR is out...

Don't want him playing SF though.

He gets hurt ALL the time. Wouldn't be the worst pickup that we've heard so far certainly, but dude is always out due to injuries. I would prefer Wally out of all the options that we've heard, but I would take Mason over McCants any day, he has a much better attitude

I wouldn't take Mason over McCants.

McCants is younger, and has much more potential.

Mason is probably washed up... his offense is inefficient, but his D is ok... though he is undersized.

Like i said Mason would be OK for the 7 games JR is out, but I wouldn't want him being Melo's primary backup or him being in the main rotation.

I agree, McCants is a nice guy, and he'll be a decent guy off the bench for you guys, as eathy said. he's so much younger and has more potential.

Mason is broke down sadly, but still I'm not saying he's useless, he'd be fine too, but for a limited time only.
