AUSTIN, TX February 16, 2010 The Toros announced today that 7-1, 240 pound center Luke Bonner has been acquired from the available player pool. The Toros roster now stands at 11, including Spurs assigned player Malik Hairston.

Bonner, 24, played collegiate ball at Massachusetts where he averaged 6.9 points and 5.4 rebounds in 23 games his senior year. Bonner was also named to the 2008-09 Atlantic 10 All- Academic Team. Most recently, he averaged 9.8 points and 3.8 rebounds in Hungary. Luke is the younger brother of San Antonio Spurs forward/center Matt Bonner.

Luke Bonner will wear jersey number 42 on Thursday when the Toros travel to take on the LA D-Fenders. The Toros play three games in California before coming home to play the final weekend in February.

[Libri]

Last thing we need is ANOTHER Bonner within the Spurs organization...:lol

[CubanMustGo]

Crap, you beat me to it. :toast

[ShoogarBear]

Luke Bonner?

Sounds like a weird redheaded Frankenstein monster.

[timvp]

:lol :tu


Bonner, 24, played collegiate ball at Massachusetts where he averaged 6.9 points and 5.4 rebounds in 23 games his senior year. Sadly, that explains the current level of the D-League.

Second time wasn't any funnier.

Sadly, that explains the current level of the D-League.I don't know exactly when the Toros became first in line for acquisitions. They have had an open roster spot for a couple of weeks and a few other, better players have been picked up.

This signing doesn't make a ton of sense unless they plan on playing Bonner and Dwayne Jones together, or are working on a trade involving Roderick Riley. Of course having a white guy named Bonner on the team might be good for other reasons.

damn, you got me

[Brazil]

lol

[cornbread]

I will admit that I was in fact owned by this thread. Well done, sir.

[TIMMYD!]

Fuck, I thought Bonner was out!

Well played, sir, well played. :lol

[ElNono]

This move makes sense. Bonner always been a one trick pony and he pulled a Houdini in the playoffs. His plus/minus was overrated anyways, and let's be honest here, he made more news writing about sandwiches than anything else.

:rolleyes










:lol

[Chieflion]

LOL wut?

[blkroadrunners]

Nice Chump, nice.

[Russ]

:lol :tu

Sadly, that explains the current level of the D-League.

As if there was need for further explanation after the weekend's D League "All Star" Game.

[Blackjack]

Future D-League plus/minus champion?

My thoughts, exactly -- we'll know if he's adopted or an impostor just by checking the boxscore. :hat

[Mark in Austin]

quick! trade him to Memphis for Randolph!

[8FOR!3]

He's not a ginger? There's no way he has the potential of Matt if he's not a ginger. Pretty cool though and well played by the TS.

[VivaPopovich]

what a rick roll

[E-RockWill]

Luke is actually a better ball player than his brother. CIA.....

[timtonymanu]

I was thinking this was just some stupid thread but saw that chumpdumper started it so i opened it and was amused. lol.

Expect Pop to sign him to a 10-day contract ASAP.

[Sisk]

i thought it was a joke about a bonner/luke walton hybrid... guess i'm alone in that

[MagnusKrauss]

out with the old - Matt Bonner traded?
in with the new - Luke Bonner Austin Toro NBA call-up to Spurs?

[Drive Like Jehu]

Straight from the bait and switch Don Harris school of journalism.

[I. Hustle]

A legit 7 footer. Have two brothers ever played on the same team together?

[angel_luv]

Nice...

Tom and Dick Van Arsdale, twins whose careers stretched from 1965 to 1977, and Brent and Mark Price with Washington in 1995-96.

Thanks dude. Didn't realize that about Price

[mookie2001]

Chumpy.... that wasn't cool...


Well played though... :lol

You know vets can't play in the Dleague right?

[senorglory]

In this country, you gotta get the Bonners first. Then when you get the Bonners, you get the power. Then when you get the power, then you get the women.
