<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>On a injury-plagued Hornets roster, Mason was the only player in the starting lineup that was able to play in every game. That streak ended towards the end of the season when Mason was elbowed in the face by Sonics F Chris Wilcox during a game against Seattle. The injury required season-ending surgery on his nose, and the Hornets failed to reach the playoffs without him. In a way, much of the success of the past two seasons was thanks to D-Mase, who played in 145 games while starting in 130.The seven-year veteran will turn 30 in October, but he has yet to show signs of his age. In fact, Mason?s high-flying dunking abilities are still as good as they were when he was the Slam Dunk Champion back in 2001. With that in mind, management must take some time to evaluate Mason?s last two seasons, and decide if he can play a big role in getting the Hornets into the playoffs next year.</div>Full article at HornetsNews.com, link is in my sig.
I think they would do better by themselves by keeping him, just not at a high pricetag (I.e. less than the $8 mil he raked in this season). They also should stop trying to post this guy up...
He can't shot..... if were to become a free agent then a team that fits his style better pick him up.
