Looks like Duncan is the reason why the team keeps matty

Not only is the Duncan-era over, the Bonner-era may be over in San Antonio.
With the San Antonio Spurs roster pretty much at max, the odd man out heading into next season is free agent forward Matt Bonner.
Bonner, who spent 10 seasons with the Spurs, spoke withConcord News Radio on his future in the NBA and said he is still looking for a team next season and is hoping an opportunity will open up.
When it came to re-signing with the Spurs, Bonner said there hasn't been any movement on either side to re-upping with the team and admits he probably won't be with San Antonio next season.
"Currently they haven't signed me. Unless something changes going into the season, I'm probably not going to be with the Spurs."
Bonner was part of the Spurs' 2007, and 2014 championship runs. He averaged 5.5 points, 2.9 rebounds and shot 41 percent form the 3-point line during his run with San Antonio.
A fan-favorite for most of his time in San Antonio, Bonner kept fans entertained with his "Sandwich Hunter" blog, representing the Spurs at the 2013 NBA All-Star 3-point Shootout and hilarious "Coach B" series. But with the Spurs transitioning from the Tim Duncan-era and bringing in younger players, Bonner's fate in San Antonio was all but sealed.
Bonner said he still wants to play in the NBA and is hoping he and his agent will find a new team soon.
Good luck Matty! Thank for the memories. You will be missed. Especially your awesome dunks!

Go join Dubs
Parker didn't want him on the team and manipulated Pop.
And become the next (and most embarrassing) Spurs Killer? Naw, good on that one.
Too many young intriguing possibilities on this roster to justify Bonner at this point.
But for the Spurs, Bonner would have been out of the league years ago.
He should and (given his intelligence) probably will recognize that on the way out.
Good luck, Matt!
It's a cold world out there.
Thank the Universe. Hoping this article is full of truth tbh
Outside of the Big 3, Matt Bonner was the longest current running Spur, coming to the team in 2006 in a trade involving Rasho Nesterovic. Time flies.
Don't count your chickens SpursFan.

Best of luck Sandwich Hunter, hope you find a team to finish your career with
As for the future.....
gotta say, his coaching skills did not look good to me in the Coach B videos. Re-visit the fundamentals Coach B and thanks for a decade of being a Spur!
Bonner is a good guy but it's his time to go out to the pasture.. Thanks for the laughs.
Not one tear will be shed by any spurs fan on the planet except for maybe playbonner. This should have happened two years ago but better late than him wasting a roster spot again this year.
Queue the Matt Bonner highlight reels!
didn't timvp make a thread about how good bonner could be for us?
Lol at this. Especially around 3:20 or so.

Good news.
But I think most fans would enjoy to still see him on the bench, as a coach or mentor of some kind. As long as he's not on the court we're okay.
He's never been one to complain or ballhog or bring anything negative to the team (outside of his play) and he seems to be a good teammate.
There's something to the whole locker room chemistry and camaraderie in the locker room and on the bench. Despite the fact that Bonner didn't play a lot, he was great in terms of accepting his role, and being a great teammate. I'm sure many folks are happy he is leaving, but the overall chemistry and makeup is so different now with Timmy/Boris/Bonner gone who were all big parts in the brotherhood and makeup of the team. (just see all the photos of Manu/Patty/Bobo throughout the course of the last couple seasons)
So Bonner didn't have the biggest role on the court, but he's a vet who can be somewhat of a mentor to the younger players and even new guys who are vets (like David Lee, his former Florida team mate) to help guys understand Pop and the Spurs way. And, he always came in and did his job without complaining, and he worked his tail off to become a better defender (when he wasn't going up against guys like Z-Bo..) and added a little pump fake and nice little floater off the dribble. (seriously, why can't Danny Green learn to do that???)
Good night sweet prince....................
I now join you brothers Playblair & PlayNando
Don't let the door hit you where the good Lawd put your Greg Popovich penis hole
