Served his time in SA with class. Made some big shots over the years. Seems like a good guy and I wish him well in whatever he does.

I like Matty, so does Pop. Pop lets Matty go on his own terms. He probably won't be waived. If he is, Houston picks him up.

Sure, but he was very unique for his time..a 40+% 3-point shooting big that wasn't a liability on defense and always a net positive was extremely rare..Quote:

farewell
GArbage more times than not in big games....... But seemed like a great guy and teamMate.
Matt Bonner did not pioneer the stretch 4 position. Matt Bonner was not a "Net Positive" on defense. I understand we're supposed to romanticize things for the sake of remembrance threads but sheesh.
I said he was one of the pioneers, which is true, and a net positive, overall, which is a fact:lolQuote:

Bonner beasting; bad news for Ralph.
Interesting thing happened in the game against the Wolves.
Bonner came out of the bench first, hit a couple of 3 point shots and to make it worse, Butler only came into play come garbage time.
The guy making the call was Messina and he may have just telegraphed who is going to be cut.
Appears that is may be Butler's last day.
Sorry mah nigga Razzy Buttts
Bonner's here to stay
Matty should have retired tbh :lol
He played yesterday like he wasn't going to retire. He also seemed to have a new stroke going. He's firing away with very little hesitation and with a very quick release.Quote:

Yes I think they made the decision already and this game wasn't going to sway them any other way. If anything like you I feel the Spurs would showcase the guy they were more likely to cut to allow his agent footage that would help that guy get another deal.Quote:

the notion of showcasing a guy is like a decision that is above the pay grade of Messina. Messina was instinctively inserting the players he believed could make a good contribution. Well, it turns out that he thinks it is Bonner over Butler. That is clearly evident here.Quote:

Good to know you have a direct line into Messina's brain to acquire this information. So what's he having for lunch today? Did he take a shit this morning?Quote:

A true anti spur disgrace
matt is a top 10 spur of all time. great teammate. great friend. the heart and soul of the big three era. THE BACK BONE. of course they werent getting rid of him. my boy's going in the rafters. red rocket made his mark.
this useless will retire after the big three
He's a scam artist that's been paid millions to be Pop's fuckboy cum receptacle. I hope he chokes on a hoagie.Quote:

Lucky piece of shit.
I do not give 2 flying fucks if he's a good team mate and friend...I care about what he does on the court.Quote:

100% scam artist
A disgrace to the Spurs organization

Red Rocket.
Red Mamba.
Sandwich Hunter.
Spuran Spuran Manager.
Glad your a Spur!
maybe he's due to have really post season :lol
:lmao... Tbh
you mother fucking ginger piece of shit why wont your nba career die already
A Matt Bonner appreciation thread out of the blue; never knew so many ST'ers loved this guy.
You've never watched him if you think this is the Bonner you're going to get in the playoffs.Quote:

LOOOOOOOL ST salty af
Was the stealer in uniform last night vs the Bulls?
worst spur of all time. yes, of all time. yes, worse than bogans.
First 200 fans get an autograph? I guess he'll be waiting around there for a week...Quote:

Matty's a nice guy, and I'll root for him whenever he's on the floor. I've been wishing injury on him for some number of years now.
That's because it's easier to be a Bonner than to be a Duncan. Bonners are a dime a dozen, but Timmy's one of a kind.Quote:
