If this agreement was prearranged it may have had something to do with extra cash up their sleeve for splitter which in the end wasn't needed but the deal was basically finalised with RJ I suspect.
What is your biggest disappointment of the off-season? Was it something the spurs did or didn't do?
I know that the off-season is not completely over but most of the moves in the nba have been made and most of the free agents have been signed.
My biggest disappointment of the off-season was resigning rj to a new contract instead of letting him play out his last year. This is the first time I have ever been upset with the spurs organization. I am definitely not happy with the trade for rj but atleast that was done with intentions to make the spurs a contender. This decision appears to be a agreement made between rj and the spurs to save money. From what I read on this forum we did this to save roughly 12mil dollars this year. That does not seem like enough money to jepordize the future of this organization. We just rewarded a guy with a long-term contract for not meeting expectations. He does not and will never fit into the spurs system. Man I am so disappointed with the fo.

coincidentally that was my favorite news of the offseason
Not getting the veteran lockdown defending 3, the annual Bruce Bowen replacement.
It was Udoka, then Bogans, now . . . ?
Other than the above oversight, this off-season has been a dream. The best in years.
I don't even think most of us yet realize just how good this Spurs summer has been.
Someone correct me if I am wrong but I am pretty sure no matter what we could not offer splitter anything over the mle. So this move was not to pay splitter more but save money. If we suck ass because of this they will lose a lot of from the decline in viewers at the game and on television.
Bonner no doubt. Everything else I'm pretty darn pleased with. Did the best we could.
re-signing bonner
!
I am still pissed...thanks for reminding me
!
Bringing Bonner back. I feel the front office just made this decision because Bonner has a home here and they just like him for some reason. He really did nothing for this team and he gets a long term contract like he deserves one.
I would have rather seen RJ opt in instead of getting a bigger contract. Instead we got 40 million dollar RJ who may just end up rotting on the bench because he doesnt fit here.
Tiago and Anderson are great signings. Neal is an unknown but he wont hurt the team. He could be a great signing or he could be a Marcus Haislip.
Malik left on his own terms and it sucks he did but I cant blame him.
Bogans and Mason are no longer here.
This. But I also detect a slight disturbing general tendency to focus on O instead of D.Not getting the veteran lockdown defending 3, the annual Bruce Bowen replacement.

It's seems pretty damned easy for you to spend Peter Holt's money.
1. RJ being resigned.
2. Bonner being resigned.
In that order.
Not too disappointed in this off season, but if there was one thing it would be not finding a legit back-up SF.
Spurs will be flush at backup SF.
After it's determined Jefferson can't be productive in the half court oriented offense w/ Duncan and Parker the spurs will have their legit backup SF.
Problem is, they'll then need to find a starter.
Resigning Bonner - hands down. Might be to easy of a pick, but doesn't make it any less disappointing. Based upon what we all know and have seen with this guy, the decision just makes absolutely no sense. The Fakers are the defending champs and Bonner, as an inconsistent, non-clutch, playoff underachieving, role player does nothing to help the Spurs "close that gap" or even give them an advanatage. And at the salary they gave him, makes the decision look even worse.
Next would be the Spurs NOT having successfully identified a true backup SF. One that could eventually assume RJ's role as starter. The Spurs better hope Alonzo Gee can fill this role.

If Anderson can shoot the nba 3-ball like he did in college, he could also have a shot at it. Read in another thread about his standing reach being 1 inch longer than RJ's, so I think he could handle himself at that position.
If Parker is annointed the starter, the spurs WILL need shooters at the 2-3 to keep some semblance of spacing. If RJ can't find the range I think we could potentially see a Parker/Hill/Anderson starting combination with Temple/Manu/Jefferson coming off the bench.
I'm a little disappointed that everyone is so disappointed. I don't know what everyone expected to happen, but as far as I can tell, everything went according to plan.
Spurs off season has been overrated by many. I'd call it okay at best.
Didn't need Bonner except for perhaps the minimum and then only as Blair's backup getting spot minutes.
Didn't need Jefferson for another 4 years @ 10 mil per. He'll be Anderson's backup by Decemeber I'm guessing.
If not for Splitter signing at a discount things could have been even worse.
I'm not overrating it, I'm just saying it went about how I expected it would.
The Spurs FO, for whatever reason, obviously values Bonner more than most fans.
No, but they Spurs wanted tax relief this year and Jefferson wanted security they made a deal and it is done. Move on.
Ridiculous.
Hallelujah!
Resigning Bonner.
It just doesn't make sense since the Spurs have added Splitter, Blair's developing, and they still have McDyess on contract.
Bonner being resigned is easily the biggest disappointment of the offseason. Now it'll be another postseason of watching him brick shots and looking like a deer in the headlights. If we make the postseason, that is.
