Mason's agent, Roger Montgomery, confirmed to The Associated Press on Wednesday night that talks between the nine-year NBA veteran and the Thunder had broken down and the two sides wouldn't be agreeing on a new contract. Mason was one of the Thunder's most popular players after playing in college at Oklahoma State and later returning to Oklahoma City when the New Orleans Hornets spent most of two seasons in the city after Hurricane Katrina. He had expressed his desire to remain in Oklahoma City after a hyperextended right knee forced him to miss the second half of last season. Montgomery said the two sides weren't able to agree on a role for Mason, who still wants to make significant contributions. "Desmond is not ready to be relegated to a cheerleader and relegated to a mentor for the younger players," Montgomery said. "Desmond's got a lot left in the tank."---http://msn.foxsports.com/nba/story/9960500/Agent-says-Mason-is-finished-with-Thunder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
