Great!

The Spurs need to get younger

[LilMissSPURfect]

fits spurs imo

[Samr]

I doubt it will happen. Vaughn has already taken the vet backup PG spot and I don't see Pop too keen to add another. His best bet for a ring is probably playing second or third string for the Mavs.

And anyway, didn't he already announce his retirement a few years ago? What is with people coming back into the league? Is there no shame anymore?

[Admidave50]

win it for Alan?

[Guajalote]

win it for Alan?

It's the least we could do after 1999.

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

IF he still has his shot and IF the Spurs were to move Beno and Barry, I'd still be hesitant. No harm in working him out, but he'd bring absolutely nothing new to the swing man rotation.

I have learned through eons of reading the forum that, in any thread le about a personnel move, in which the le ends in "?", the "?" is a symbol for "The preceding is a load of crap stemming from the ignorant speculation of a sports journalist who was under time pressure to write something. Please disregard."

[ShoogarBear]

At last! A Dirk-stopper!

[Mr. Body]

Not likely remotely true.

That said, it makes little sense. With Udoka on the roster, Brent Barry will barely get any playing time. With the over-paying of Matt Bonner, which cost us Luis Scola, we have another shooter at yet another position. We need to use the roster spot instead to work on a young player.

booner didd not cost spurs scola
scola cost spurs

Ummm...Houston's a 2 guard.

[Spurs Dynasty 21]

would like to this happen

[ChumpDumper]

If it doesn't happen, the Spurs will not repeat!

[ThePrivateSpur]

allan can go back to houston!

[SenorSpur]

Not on your life!

Bonner isnt overpaid.
Get over Scola already

anyone willing to take kg out is ok with me... bonner seems to be a standup kind of guy anyhow and who knows maybe this season is his break out season with the spurs. dont we all give a mandatory 1season to get adjusted to the spurs system for all new players? so give the guy a break already. you all were sucking his red rocket when he first came aboard and now everyones out to throw him to the dogs. if the fo sees potential in bonner then why cant you?

ps: scola! get over the guy already you bunch of fruit cakes.

NO KIDDING! I'm so sick of hearing people rag on Bonner and whine non-stop about losing Scola.
M-O-V-E O-N

love your av! elliott is a fav of mine growing up, so was strickland but it seems no one really cared for that guy.

[smrattler]

It takes shooters some time to adjust here, so, even if he can still shoot I wouldn't replace Barry with him if we want to win it this year. We're better off staying with Barry and the rest of the team that won the le, which btw for the whiners, did NOT include and never will include Scola.

Yeah ummm Allan Houston is not and never was a point guard.

You guys are idiots. Bonner will never replace Horry, not figuratively or literally. That's just obnoxiously stupid.

Scola didn't 'cost Spurs'. What a bunch of whackos.

The dumb New Russian level sell-off of Luis Scola for jelly beans ranks just below the theft of the 2000 Presidential election by the Supreme Court as things one doesn't 'get over'. It doesn't stop being stupid.

Of course Bonner didn't directly cost Scola, but was emblematic of a front office too worried about money on one hand and then not worried enough on the other. Yes, Matt Bonner is overpaid.

A shade over 2 and a hlaf mil doesnt seem like to much for a vet big man who can shoot threes. , Jake Voskhul makes more than Bonner does

[Mr. Body]

Don't sign Jake Voskhul, then. Bonner made $2 million last year and his impact on the team was more or less nil. What's the 411 on him this year? Barely any playing time. Even if he gets some, I fail to see how a dollar more than the same $2M is a dollar well spent. I don't mind him on the team, but the signing lead to dumbass penny-pinching that lead to the Bush league Jackie Butler trade, which was ing chintzy.

And all y'all for saying I should get over the Scola trade. Shut your ing imbecilic mouths for telling anybody what to do.
