Bonner had a better playoff run than Splitter this season.

That hole goes deep and I agree, but they both suck when it counts. But manu has done more than both of them put together as far as titles go so the FO was throwing him a bone per say. He'd probably be willing to take less if say bonner was making 2 per year and splitter got 7.5 per, but said to himself "not if those soft scrubs are making that much" lol

If Splitter was the big man Spurs fans expect him to be his price would've been $72MM.

Probably so MB but at the rate he got paid you would expect him to rebound slighty better and finish over derek fisher lmao. To tall for that nonsense tbh

All in all, one can find a reasoning behind those contracts as someone earlier posted. But still today, my mind can't still process how Matt Bonner is still around

Again that's why market price is $36MM not double.

Omer Asik; Gortat, Robin Lopez all make less than T-Vag...

And this is a team where players like Tim Duncan and Tony Parker left a lot on the table so that they could have a chance to contend.

I think Spiltter's contract is reasonable for a guy who is still improving. Tony Parker use to shit his pants early in his career. Lets see what Splitter can become over the next 4 years.
With Manu the dude is deteriorating fast.

No Rasho, no Bonner. Faillist.

Bonner probably one of the best contracts lol

Why do people keep bringing that up? If Tiago Splitter were the only one in history to get called for a foul on a Derek Fisher flop, you might have a case.

And Rasho even took less money back then to not play with Garnett, still - dumping Rasho brought in Bonner :/

Rasho was a great defender, and a great compliment to Duncan, just not for the money he got paid. The Spurs kept thinking they could turn him into an aggressive offensive player. Trying to motivate a guy like that with a paycheck was a mistake. History tells us that Pop paying a center is a mistake because he's gonna put someone little into the game for them at a critical time.

I dunno...Game 5 of the 2005 NBA finals was probably worth $10mil on its own.

I think it would be really hard to characterize any sums ever paid to Robert Horry for his on-court basketball services as a bad investment or an unreasonable expenditure.

Rasho was serviceable and we had absolutely no one at the time. I thought Rasho would have been better with what he showed in Minny, but he did get boards, defend ok and was a decent shot blocker. Bonner can gobble up regular season minutes without the spurs missing a beat. Worth 3mm IMO.

horry hip check on nash was worth his contract

If you guys say so.

Rasho was a great defender who could hit 15 foot baseline jumpers all day long. Doesn't change the fact that his contract was too big to keep him. That bad contract is made worse because trading it away brought back Matt Bonner in return.

U have a point. That's why I included the ?

Splitter is gonna have A LOT to do to justify his price imho. He's a good player but he isn't worth anything more than 6m/yr tbh Rasho also had a big contract but he gave you such a strong presence at the defensive end which enabled Duncan to be more efficient in offense, but the current team has to count on Duncan as their defensive hub.

LOl makes me laugh Manu is on the list - clueless

LMFAO. Parker "USED" to shit his pants??? The Miami Heat and OKC Thunder have a couple of thank you cards for him. He is the youngest of the big 3 but he gets a pass because hey, he was so darn good in the regular season. SMFH.
