Another "BIG" Question

[NewJerSpur]

Which one PF/C that was on the 2009 playoff roster do you think will absolutely be back in Silver & Black next season and which one do you think is absolutely gone?

This excludes Tim Duncan btw so as to remove any potential "smartalecky" answer. :p:

[Spursfan092120]

I think KT will be back...I think Oberto is gone.

[ploto]

Back: Bonner
Gone: Oberto

Both unfortunately

[NewJerSpur]

OOPS, meant 2009 playoff roster. Changed.

[raspsa]

Agree.Kurt will be back. Oberto's priority should be his health.

[timtonymanu]

Oberto's out due to health.
Gooden will sign with another team.
KT could stay unless Pop trades him.
Bonner stays only because Pop keeps players like him around.
Mahinmi should stay, most likely will.

I agree with all of these and holding out hope that Bonner just might be included in a trade as well.

[Marcus Bryant]

Ian Mahinmi.

[johnnyblues]

Bonner. Pffft.

[completely deck]

Ian Mahinmi.

Read -> Comprehend -> Post.

There was two questions there.


I honestly am holding out and going to HOPE that Pop/the FO realizes that the league is getting better and it seems like we might be left behind next year. We're missing one or two pieces. A good 4 or 5, and a good 3.

That said, I'll HOPE that (for the sake of the team) Oberto, Bonner are gone. Gooden hopefully stays and familiarizes with the program more, and KT stays. This is what I would hope happen, but knowing Pop/the FO, we've seen some strange things happen.

[Ditty]

Oberto:gone
KT:stays
Bonner:trade him and a late 2nd round draft pick for a early 2nd round draft pick
gooden:give him bonner's money for one year when he is traded
Mihinmi:stays but will be a 12th man next year

[GioSugar]

Back: Thomas, Bonner,Mahimmi
Gone: Gooden, Oberto


That's not what i want, but what i believe that finally happen

[Bukefal]

Oberto will be gone, bonner will be back and i hope gooden stays, but im afraid he wont.

[BadOne]

Although he's lost a step, Kurt Thomas is still a work horse, and a good defensive vet for the PF/C position. He stays.

Oberto is a team favorite, but let's face it: not an agressive big, and at his age having heart issues? Not a good mix. He should be traded for a future pick or cash or simply retire for his health.

Mahinmi hasn't played for us once this past season. Prior to that, only some garbage time in a few games before being sent to the D-League. I think he'll be given the first half of next season to prove to Pop and the FO why he deserves a roster spot. With that said though, I wouldn't be suprised to see him traded by mid-season before the deadline.

Bonner can shoot the 3...but so can Mason & Ginobili. I don't think the Spurs need a big who can do what their SG's already do for them, yet isn't a great defender or post up player. Because he can shoot the 3, he's a bit more valuable on the trade table.

BONNER MUST GO - I get sick every time he walks on the court. KT should stay. Gooden is an energetic big man who hustles, so I hope he stays(but prob won't). Oberto gave some good years, but his ticker can't take it anymore, so get rid of him.Mahinmi should get a closer look.

The spurs must get better via free agency, and not just wait until 2010.

Defense wins champioships!!!!!

[The Truth #6]

Whoever is under contract will return. Whoever isn't won't return. I don't see anyone trying to help the Spurs by taking their trash. We only try to pull off trades right before the trade deadline. I'm not expecting anything to happen. If Oberto leaves it's because he's retiring.

[afireinside20]

gone:bonner,oberto
stays:gooden,thomas,mahinmi

.......hopefully...

[Ocotillo]

I think KT will be back...I think Oberto is gone.

agree

[spursfan98]

Stay: Thomas, Mahinmi
Gone: Oberto (retire) Bonner (trade, hopefully before deadline) Gooden (sign somewhere else for more $$$$)
Please come back Drew
