    Matt Bonner is making $2,978,000, he's not worth one penny of it. He should be traded as soon as possible. He can't do anything good.

    3 million for the 12th or 13th man is not ideal.

    It's not that bad and is not preventing us from signing anyone.

    Uhm, no - Scolas contract and unwillingness to help pay for his buyout is what prevented it.

    The prevention aspect is irrelavant, either one is overpaid or they are not. The fact that one has to semi cope with saying it isn't that bad should raise some concern. Nobody is perfect, but his salary is a bit unreasonable. With that being said, alot of contracts are unreasonable but that still doesn't change the facts.

    spurs thought splitter would fit better next to duncan then scola
    spurs were right
    however splitter screwed the spurs
    scola screwed the spurs more because he thought he was god and caused problems with the spurs front office
    selfish asshole

    Uhm, I believe Scola's contract is identical to that of Bonners. Spurs reached an agreement with Bonner the first couple of days in free agency, which was a mistake because of how watered-down free agency was last year. If spurs had waited it out they could have signed Bonner for much less. With reaching an agreement with Bonner so early, anyone else that would be signed would put us over the luxury tax. Therefore we signed Bonner instead of Scola.

    Signing Bonner to a 3 year deal for the exact amount of money Scola wanted makes it obvious they wanted Bonner more than Scola. Signing Splitter or not.

    "If"s are different than what is. All I see is where he's at now. Also, his perceived potential in my view isn't that slot on this team. Maybe around that number on a different rotation, just not on this team. To be honest, it may be a sad day in Spur basketball if he's seventh in the rotation.

    scola would not see that many minutes with the spurs since he plays the same spot as duncan
    scola stats would be alot lower on the spurs then houston
    and scola could not handle pop
    scola got ticked rc told him to work on his rebounding
    scola is a baby

    I understand Scola was used to get Butler's contract off the books. But I dont understand how we resigned Bonner for 9-10 million over 3 years and how we couldn't figure out a way to bring Scola in silver and black when he asked for Bonner money.
