Appears that is may be Butler's last day.
Might very well be Butler's last day, but I'm pretty sure it has absolutely nothing to do with any of this.

Just saying that Messina telegraphed Spurs final decision.
If it were Pop coaching, It'll be harder to read the tea leaves.

He probably didn't.

Re: Matt Bonner appreciation thread
Your line of reasoning could easily be reversed...that he gave Bonner minutes because he knew this was it for him...but I don't think either is the case.

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.

Re: Matt Bonner appreciation thread
Precedent?
Anyone remember what happened just prior to previous Spurs getting released.
Michael Finley?

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.
I would not make the same conclusion if Pop was coaching. But with Messina coaching, the truth is more transparent.

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?

He's a scam artist that's been paid millions to be Pop's fuckboy cum receptacle. I hope he chokes on a hoagie.

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.
He can be a coach or throw balls at players, not take up a fucking roster spot whilst we're in the fight for a championship and we have a team like the Warriors to go up against.
100% scam artist
A disgrace to the Spurs organization

Re: Matt Bonner appreciation thread
Still don't understand why ppl insist on hating Bonner for Pop's mismanagement of him. I for one am glad he's still putting on a Spurs jersey, and will be equally happy if/when he joins the coaching/FO staff. Fuck you haters.

Re: Matt Bonner appreciation thread
Red Rocket.
Red Mamba.

Spuran Spuran Manager.
