The Milwaukee Bucks reported no developments Tuesday on the Anthony Mason front, although the team did speak volumes on the subject in a significant way.

The Bucks did not have Mason listed on the team's official 17-man roster that was issued Tuesday on the first day of training camp, indicating that the Bucks do not expect Mason to be a part of the team when the veterans report for media day on Thursday.

The Bucks on Monday released a statement saying that they were engaged in negotiations with Mason to terminate his contract. General manager Larry Harris, citing a league gag order, had little more to say on the subject Tuesday.

"Nothing has changed," Harris said Tuesday.

Don Cronson, Mason's agent, has not commented on the situation.

The 37-year-old Mason has two guaranteed years left on his contract worth about $10.6 million. Since the contract is guaranteed, the Bucks are obligated to pay those two remaining years unless they are able to come to an agreement on a buyout with Mason. In such situations, the player will usually agree to accept less money if it is paid up front.

The catch is that the Bucks and Mason have to agree on the amount that will be paid in a buyout, which is undoubtedly what is being negotiated.

Harris said the team had no plans to strike a similar arrangement with any other player on the roster.
