Royce :Awesome to see the Oklahoman pick this story up today and give NO credit. That was cool.

If you do not expect anything, then you can never truly be let down. Unfortunately, low expectations has become a necessity for most newspapers/reports and their journalistic integrity.

@Vega I agree with you about Mason. Nice guy, but not worth what he would cost to play third string behind Thabo,Harden,KD,Uncle Jeff. I don't see him signing for less than 2 mill, and paying any-more than that would be silly.

Here are a few pictures of Byron Mullens and James Harden that will be used on trading cards.

@Daniel That pretty much never happens. Once a guy goes to Europe, the chances of him becoming a good NBA player are very slim. Also, why does everyone want Mason? Weaver and Sefolosha are younger and better than him right now, and Etan Thomas is fulfilling the Useless Native Oklahoman role now, so Dez is unnecessary.

Let’s hope a year or two in Europe gives him some seasoning and experience. Nobody’s surprised by this, but I hate losing out on the whole “Darth” Vaden thing.

This could be a good thing. Maybe he’ll get some experience in Europe and come back better. We’ll still own his rights.

Right after I made post of the week saying how I thought he had a spot on the team. Fire Presti!

So we’ve got 14 under contract now, right? That leaves a spot for one more (like Mason) — with Ibaka, Mullens, and maybe Ollie inactive until someone gets banged up.
