gotta feel bad for bonner, he gets all the blame for everything but all he did was hunt sandwiches.

Been following Malcolm Thomas' twitter and he had a workout with the Bobcats on the 13th. Sounds like the interest is mutual, might hear something soon.

Naw, he worked out in NC but not with the bobcats. He signed in china as well.so did Justin dentmon and Eric Dawson. China hasn't released their signees yet

Take that back, my source said he did have a workout with the bobcats, but no guarantee. His offer in china is still on the table, heard he was leaning towards taking it

Was doing some searches online and found this tweet, did some research on Seth A. Cohen and he is indeed an NBA agent:

It's amazing how most of the contenders believe in investing in bigs, even developmental bigs. Meanwhile the Spurs continue to invest almost exclusively in smalls.

So basically, everyone has learned from the perceived flaw in the Spurs system except for the Spurs. Hmmm :bang.

Well, I think if Bonner is going to be in a line-up, another player (besides the center) with a B2B game should be in the lineup, be it a SG or SF. Maybe not a big, but a player with a post-up game that will be given a few attempts a game - not exactly someone that needs to carry the offense just someone with a reliable 50% shot.

Chris Tomasson
about 5 hours ago

Free-agent Anthony Tolliver said he’s intrigued by Atlanta, a team that has great interest in him.

“I don’t think they have a guy on their roster with that skill set with shooting and versatility,’’ Tolliver said about being a big man who can step out on the floor. When Tolliver was with Cleveland several years ago, Hawks GM Danny Ferry was the GM there. Tolliver also said he has a “really good relationship’’ with Wes Wilcox, then with Cleveland and now Hawks assistant GM.

I agree. They don't need perfect just serviceable.

Nice find. :tu

I'm not really sure Wilkerson turned down that much money in Spain. While top teams still have a lot of money, a lot of other teams have significantly reduced their budget.

Wilkerson contract with Spurs should be something like $50K or $100K guaranteed. Even if he was relatively good with Spurs SL, I find it's an odd choice to spend money on. Spurs are still 3 deep at PF with Diaw, Blair and Bonner. Wilkerson and these 3 players aren't really suited to play SF or C. So unless Spurs do some kind of trades, Wilkerson doesn't fit well with the roster.

Some other workout news I found today:

Keith Kreiter ‏@Edge_Sports

Brian Butch and Warren Carter to workout with the San Antonio Spurs. Darryl Partin to workout with the Celtics next week.

Keith Kreiter ‏@Edge_Sports

Client, Warren Carter scheduled to workout with the Spurs on September 4 & 5 Warren has played extremely well overseas the last few yrs

Spurs to work out Reyshawn Terry

Forward Reyshawn Terry will work out for the Spurs next week, agent John Spencer told HoopsHype. Terry was selected in the 44th position in the 2007 by Orlando, but his draft rights were quickly traded to the Dallas Mavericks. The 6-foot-8 forward, a North Carolina product, played in Ukraine last season.
Derrick Brown, Brian Butch and Warren Carter are also reportedly working out for San Antonio this coming week.

So basically SA is trying to find the BIG version Gary Neal of this year. Hopefully they can find someone decent.

[kobexxx]

Bonner can be good if he is used properly. I'd keep him over the other bigs on the market.

[kobexxx]

+1 Anyone but freaking Boner........:bang
Bonner is okay if given the chance..imho

[ace3g]

Well with Blatche reportedly going to the Nets, there isn't much available:

D.J. White
Dominic McGuire
Kenyon Martin
Anthony Tolliver
Darko

[intlspurshk]

Darko could be an option but he will not take min salary

[MR.SILVER&BLack]

I would be happy if we signed Dominic McGuire. He would give a nice boost of defense to the front court.

[Duncan2177]

Bonner can be good if he is used properly. I'd keep him over the other bigs on the market.

Are you kidding? :lol

[outmap]

Sean Williams.

[racm]

Nobody talkin bout KMart? :lol

[ace3g]

Nobody talkin bout KMart? :lol

That's because there has been no news on KMart for sometime now

[Ice009]

Not really interested in Kmart and it also doesn't seem like he'd be interested in coming here anyway, which is pretty much the main reason I don't want him. I kind of get the vibe that he doesn't like us and doesn't really want to play here so I am not interested in him.

I can't remember, did the Spurs go after him before he signed with the Clippers last season? If the Spurs did, did he even consider their offer or was he not interested at all?

[Wild Cobra Kai]

Sean Williams.

If they passed on Blatche, there's no way in hell they sign a cancer like SW.

[therealtruth]

Bonner can be good if he is used properly. I'd keep him over the other bigs on the market.

He can't be used properly. There's no proper use for him. He doesn't help you win when it counts.

[SenorSpur]

Well with Blatche reportedly going to the Nets, there isn't much available:

D.J. White
Dominic McGuire
Kenyon Martin
Anthony Tolliver
Darko

I'd take Tolliver over Bonner - any day of the week.

[ace3g]

mark another off the list:

Marc J. Spears ‏@SpearsNBAYahoo

Heat announce signing of center Josh Harrellson.

[Budkin]

Go KMart or bust.

[ace3g]

Hawks waive Jordan Williams, per team release. Color me surprised. Thought he could be useful 4th/5th big for 'em.

-Per Hollinger

Anyone know anything on him? Listed 6-10 260

[gambit1990]

Free-agent center Darko Milicic has decided to stay in the NBA and continue his career with the Boston Celtics, Milicic's agent, Marc Cornstein, confirmed to ESPN.com.

The Chicago Bulls have invited veteran center Kyrylo Fesenko to training camp on a non-guaranteed contract, according to sources close to the situation.

:lmao

[ABC]

After seeing Curry in preseason, where would he rank now (time travel machine post). If he makes the roster, it would be a classic Spurs move. I don't think anyone can claim they saw him coming.
