Trade Bonner?

[Sissiborgo]

I think we should get rid off Matt Bonner.Try to trade him and get a player or a Rounk pick im just saying we need a little bit stronger team wha do you think?

[rAm]

Where have you been the last year?

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

If the right trade comes along, but I, for one, would like to see Bonner and Tolliver duke it out for the active list/rotation spot.

[DPG21920]

Or just duke it out! I bet the Red Rocket has some pent up rage from all the bashing he receives on this site.

[IronMexican]

This is like Us Laker fans trying to trade Luke Walton, other teams don't want You're trash.

[T Park]

christ people, the search function is your friend.

[Mr. Body]

Rounk picks are the best.

[Darkwaters]

Trade Bonner?

Wow? What a truly original idea!

[xtremesteven33]

no good reason why we have bonner. absolutely a mystery to me.

if the rockets can trade Bobby freakin Jackson for Artest, why cant we trade Bonner for someone halfway decent!!

sorry....just fustrating

[DPG21920]

Luke Walton may be overpaid (length of contract), but to say he is trash is just silly. He has played a nice role for your team, whereas Bonner has been buried on the bench. I would take Luke all day as a 8-10 man.

Bobby jackson, a draft pick, and a late round draft pick.


Theres nothing really available trade wise, that you could get for Bonner, that fills a need.

You are talking about contract year Walton, he was totally different last year.

[xtremesteven33]

funny how everyone here laughed at me when i proposed a FINLEY/UDOKA and 2nd round draft pick for Ron Artest like 2 weeks ago......

[DPG21920]

Maybe not by himself, but in a package deal we could get a serviceable person. It is not like Bonner is a complete flop. He can play. He might have a very limited role on a team, but he can play. When he got minutes, he did ok.

[T Park]

funny how everyone here laughed at me when i proposed a FINLEY/UDOKA and 2nd round draft pick for Ron Artest like 2 weeks ago......

Uh, you do know the Rockets gave up 2 first round picks, this one this year and next, ON TOP of bobby jackson, right?

[DPG21920]

You are talking about contract year Walton, he was totally different last year.

So what, he had a sub-par year. Could it have been because all of the stress from the off-season bullshit effected him? He looked like a player that needed to be re-energized. I bet a trade would do him wonders. He fits in perfect with the triangle offense and he works hard.

There is no one on top of Bonner in a package, the Spurs will want to give up, that will bring in the calibar of players, you guys want.

[DPG21920]

funny how everyone here laughed at me when i proposed a FINLEY/UDOKA and 2nd round draft pick for Ron Artest like 2 weeks ago......

The Rockets deal is better than that. I think they are in rebuilding mode so they do not need those pieces. If they thought they could contend, than ya, because Fin and Udoka would help, but not now. I think they like the Odom type player but they did not want that contract if they were going to be rebuilding. Greene could be an Odom type player if he reaches that potential, but he is on a rookie scale contract so he would be much cheaper.

[DPG21920]

There is no one on top of Bonner in a package, the Spurs will want to give up, that will bring in the calibar of players, you guys want.

Your telling me that a package of Bonner (expiring contract in 2010) and Udoka or ... could not get us a serviceable 8-10 spot man?

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

This is like Us Laker fans trying to trade Luke Walton, other teams don't want You're trash.

Why would the fans try to trade the players?

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

funny how everyone here laughed at me when i proposed a FINLEY/UDOKA and 2nd round draft pick for Ron Artest like 2 weeks ago......

Yeah, but that was when Sacto was asking for Josh Howard for Dallas. Shit's changed.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Uh, you do know the Rockets gave up 2 first round picks, this one this year and next, ON TOP of bobby jackson, right?

I thought they only gave up 1 first rounder.

[DPG21920]

I thought they only gave up 1 first rounder.

He meant their first round pick from this year, Greene.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Oh.

[rj215]

No one wants Bonner. But I'd take a Walton for Bonner deal any day.

[kobyz]

No one wants Bonner. But I'd take a Walton for Bonner deal any day.

Walton has a bigger and longer contrect, no thanks!

[IronMexican]

I like to call Bonner BonDog or boner, so I woukd take Bonner over Puke.

[ceperez]

Can anyone tell me why we even signed him up in the first place?

I mean we traded Rasho for him, but we signed him up on this ridiculous 3 year contract at about 3M per year. What was he offering that we needed to pay that much for anyway?

[rj215]

Walton has a bigger and longer contrect, no thanks!

I just meant on talent and hustle. Walton probably got worn down from The Mamba spitting his venom at him all the time.

[Sissiborgo]

Rounk picks are the best.


Without a doubt get a pick round!

[Biggems]

Yeah, but that was when Sacto was asking for Josh Howard for Dallas. Shit's changed.

Brad Miller would either love it (have him a toking buddy and someone who could score some mondo hippy lettuce) or hate it (cause Howard would smoke up all Miller's private stash).....

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

I propose this trade:

http://games.espn.go.com/nba/features/traderesult?players=2166~1996~874~2987~2759~2433&teams=28~28~28~21~21~24&te=3249:24-2448&cash=

[SequSpur]

Bonner isn't worth dick.

Waive him so he can go back to Toronto.

Damn, I can't watch that dude play for some reason. no offense..

[knee-knee-3]

Brad Miller would either love it (have him a toking buddy and someone who could score some mondo hippy lettuce) or hate it (cause Howard would smoke up all Miller's private stash).....

Only Jim Rome refers to pot as "hippie lettuce." Is Rome burning on your radio and TV?

[DPG21920]

I propose this trade:

http://games.espn.go.com/nba/features/traderesult?players=2166~1996~874~2987~2759~2433&teams=28~28~28~21~21~24&te=3249:24-2448&cash=

Very good trade for Phoenix (although Phoenix would lose a key ball handler that can spell Nash and that is something they desperately need), good trade for the Spurs (get the defensive, athletic 3 they need and a rotational big and gave up nothing really), terrible for the Raptors (raped).

[urunobili]

Bonner for a second round doesn;t bother me...

[YamaSama]

I propose this midseason trade.

Golden State receives:
Matt Bonner
Ime Udoka
Jacque Vaughn
Anthony Tolliver (or James Gist)
Their own 2008 2nd round pick (currently owned by Spurs)

San Antonio receives:
Stephen Jackson

Check the salaries (on realgm) - it works.
By midseason, Golden State will be at the bottom of the standings, ready to cut salary and make a run at the lottery. Stephen Jackson will most likely be seen as not helping the chemistry of the young team.
Spurs step in, offer up some expiring contracts and a pick, and voila, you've got a trade.
BTW, Jackson's contract is up the summer of '10 - the Spurs get the ballsy scorer they've been missing for quite some time now along with the contract they want.

[vanishing_dude]

please do trade Bonner...i would agree if we trade him even for a draft pick or just cash considerations..go trade him quickly..he's just eating cap space in our team.

[Streakyshooter08]

I am all for trading him but I doubt anyone wants him. I only see 2 scenarios where he gets traded:

1. Spurs take on a bad contract
2. Spurs package him with a better player and/or draft picks

Option 2 is more likely but the Spurs won't trade Bowen, Manu, TP, TD, Thomas, Mason (unless it is a no brainer)

That leaves Vaughn, Mahinmi, Oberto, Hill and Udoka. It will be really tough to find a package that intrigues other teams and makes the Spurs better. One can only hope...

[Sissiborgo]

We should get rid of him ore trade him!

[mrspurs]

not sure why bonner gets so much hate........after all it was pop who brought him in

[BWS-1994]

I want to see Bonner play more minutes, at least early in the season. If he doesn't pan out, then trading him would be better than letting him rot.

Tolliver's already signed for insurance.

[Capt Bringdown]

No worries, I'm sure the FO is aggressively shopping Bonner for a 35 + year old player or some some unsignable eurotrash.

[Danny.Zhu]

I just don't get why we resign the contract with him in the first place.

[tav1]

christ people, the search function is your friend.

What he said.

[xtremesteven33]

Bonner for Scalbrine

[Sissiborgo]

not sure why bonner gets so much hate........after all it was pop who brought him in

But he has not showed us much!:/

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Well shit, he brings in just about everybody. And you're constantly hating on them, so other than trying to contradict yourself, what's your point?

[Sissiborgo]

Bonner isn't worth dick.

Waive him so he can go back to Toronto.

Damn, I can't watch that dude play for some reason. no offense..

same here must be how he runs ore some haha no offense to!

[manufor3]

funny how everyone here laughed at me when i proposed a FINLEY/UDOKA and 2nd round draft pick for Ron Artest like 2 weeks ago......

geez, after one season udoka is already in trade talks

[rascal]

Uh, you do know the Rockets gave up 2 first round picks, this one this year and next, ON TOP of bobby jackson, right?

Thats still crap for Artest. The Rockets will make the playoffs next year so that pick will not be a high pick.

[DROB4EVER]

I would be happy if we could get a box of chicken wings for him. Best bet is GS or Tor but Mem can take him without sending anything in return, maybe see what it would cost us to let them have him.

Sure would Like to see his roster spot go to another Center.

that could be one way how the warriors go this season, another is
that Monta Ellis goes ape shit and unlocks his true potential, cory maggette becomes a top-league player, the and warriors upset another team once again.

A man can dream, :p im from the bay area :D

[Sense]

This is like Us Laker fans trying to trade Luke Walton, other teams don't want You're trash.

I'd do that in a second...



why are you making it obvious that you don't have a diploma? :P

[ArgSpursFan.]

This is like Us Laker fans trying to trade Luke Walton, other teams don't want You're trash.

I would trade Walton for Bonner in a fucking heart beat,bonner blows

[ALAMO_DEFENSE]

Bonner who???????????? lol

[vander]

bonner is our only hope for a title next year. if he gets minutes, we have a chance

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

bonner is our only hope for a title next year. if he gets minutes, we have a chance

:tu

[tp2021]

What he is saying, is that you can't expect good pieces in return for trading a crappy player. He isn't saying We wouldn't want Luke Walton for Bonner. The Lakers wouldn't even go for that trade.

[Sissiborgo]

haha!:lol

[mrspurs]

Can anyone tell me why we even signed him up in the first place?

I mean we traded Rasho for him, but we signed him up on this ridiculous 3 year contract at about 3M per year. What was he offering that we needed to pay that much for anyway?

im guessing pop and his great ability to find bigs who he can develop, only to put them into his dog house. a trend pop and his bigs always find themselves in. pop can kill anyones confidence whos just a role player. he does it every season. since david left, pop has had 4 starters, the rest of the players are just pops toys to tinker with. only reason fab is still here is because the FO failed to bring in scolla. and now we're stuck with him. just like we're stuck with jacque, bonner, kurt and finley. by far imo the worst bench we've had in yrs. good thing they were at least able to grab roger. between roger and udoka our season should be manageable. come PO time imo it all rides on..........will ian show up this season?

[mrspurs]

Well shit, he brings in just about everybody. And you're constantly hating on them, so other than trying to contradict yourself, what's your point?

my point was most of the people in here think pop is some kind of god. how can you hate something that god brought to us :lol

[mrspurs]

:tu

aww...i get it you like bonner, :wow well ill be honest with ya, i dont hate bonner, i hate pop for bringing bonner in and paying him so much for doing nothing more then shining the pine. but who knows maybe after 2 season of shining the pine bonner will turn out to be the player pop brought in and paid so much for. if bonner finds his way off the pine and contributes, then of course the spurs are better. if it takes 3 seasons, and this is bonners break out season then im with it as well. :lol

[mrspurs]

bonner is our only hope for a title next year. if he gets minutes, we have a chance
