Bonzi Wells: Nuggets Interested

[Bruno]

From 03-04 to 05-06 his minutes went up from 26 to 32, six whole minutes, and his ing rebounding more than doubled!!! That's playing for a contract.

He was too in a new team with new teamates and a new coach.
Don't what factor was the most important : contract year or new team.

His numbers had already started to slip before he left Portland, so I'd say it was the Benjamins.

Nothing wrong with a little extra effort in a contract year, but when your numbers e sharply, and last time you got paid they took a 3 year slide, caution is advised.

I don't doubt he played harder in a contract year, every player does or at least they should it only makes sense.

Name a guy on the Spurs who has done it. If you looked at Parker's numbers for his career to figure out when he signed his deal, you'd think he was free this year.

If Bonzi wants to live, he'll resign with the Kings.

He's shown a history of improving in contract years, but not a history of improving when he changes teams.

There are plenty of guys who have done it who left. I meant someone who stayed. You bring up an excellent example, though. DA was a contract year type player. Do you want him on your team?

I think if he signs with them he can't be traded for several months.

[shaggy17]

Why would the nuggets want him tho? He is the same type of player in ways that Melo. However if they can deal Kenyans bloated contract for him then pull the trigger

I can name a bunch of free agents that signed with the spurs after having great seasons then turned to crap, rasho and barry are two that come to mind. Would i want DA? no, but i'd wand Bonzi. Look at Jason Terry, his numbers went up from last year and he played very well in the playoffs and dallas gave him a good deal. I just think Sac should up the offer a little for a guy who actually showed up in the playoffs unlike other kings such as Peja, Bibby, Miller, Webber, etc.

[ChumpDumper]

Again, who would pay more than Sacto is offerring?

The nuggets are crap, there's no need to talk about them. They're made out of .

Good points, but one could argue that Rasho and Barry never stopped giving effort. I'd put Malik on that list before Rasho and Barry, and Malik didn't stop trying either, but his numbers probably dropped further. If the Kings are rewarding Bonzi for the six games last season, that's one thing. They have every reason to be gunshy of just paying him for his potential. We all know he's got a load of talent. I'd love to see him prove all the doubters wrong, but I predict he won't.

[NugzFan]

you act like he's Jackie Butler, maybe not 210 but he's not fat. Being fat doesn't get you rebounds, being big and strong does.

Anyway I'd say Bonzi is worth around 5/45 when softies like Nene get 6/60, i know he's not a big and bigs get overpaid but kings should just give him what he's worth. They have the jack, do the right thing and pay up.

nene soft? lol.

you'll have to 4give some spurs fans, they dont even know what a physical player is. Its been a while since they have had one on their team

I guess a physical player is one who gets two other guys together to throw forearms at a player who is dominating them, just like a good fan is one who throws coins at the opposing team when they don't get the calls they want.
