    What can be accomplished? What can you or Iaccomplish?
    Exactly. Now you're getting it.

    All the people ing about 3 years/9-10 mil are just as pathetic as those thinking Scola wouldn't have made this team better.
    Sure.

    I don't understand what being delusional about an awful deal for the Spurs accomplishes ... so I'm open to suggestions. What does blind acceptance of the status quo accomplish?
    What does that mean? That would mean that nothing would change.

    Things are changing as we speak.

    One thing I've never understood is the whole "Scola Thread!!!" business. Is it really that hard to admit that the Spurs FO really ed one up badly? Does SpurFan really have Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf Syndrome? Why can't SpurFan admit that this was a MAJOR up?

    Or, is there a serious willingness to argue that Matt Bonner is a better fit, at the price of his contract, than Luis Scola is. If there is such an argument, I'd love to hear it.
    I agree and Scola wasn't the only thing we ed up.

    think back to Stephan Jackson and us offering him less than he was worth. It turned out alright as Manu developed and the money went to him.

    I will never let the Scola thing go. SA ed up bad. Holt is plenty rich enough he should have just made a deal.

    SA clinging to their pockets has ed us plenty of times but yet has been a blessing in disguise at times also.

    Besides who here think Scola wouldn't have helped us and been a bigger upgrade anyways? I don't think that idiocy exists.

    Now I'm getting what? Condescending much? That's a great way to get people to view things from your perspective.

    I agree that complaining/ ing/moaning about the situation accomplishes absolutely nothing ... "changes" nothing about that situation. My point is only that the whole "Bonner for 9Mil/3years" is something the FO should and must be critiqued for.

    Does it accomplish something? If your asking whether or not it does something like getting Corey Maggette to sign with us, obviously not. But is a healthy level of skepticism about FO decisions important? I think so. Does calling out Matt Bonner's deal do something, in that regard? I think so.

    I really don't give that much of a about it.

    Like I said, it's Chinatown. Every team has made moves like this and will do so in the future.

    Nope. It doesn't do a damn thing.

    Make him practice harder than anyone in Spurs,extra training on everything...give him more minutes and beat him up if he produce nothin...make him sacrifice his body and soul for us to get wins, if we still lost than beat him up in locker room and give ice to help him recover. That's will make his salary worth......

    So basically, other spurs fans should keep quiet about the whole Scola thing because (1) you don't really give a about what they think and (2) you don't think it changes a damn thing?

    I'm curious to ask: if a team makes a bade trade, like Manu for Richard Jefferson, do you not speak up, or get upset because "every team has made a move like that now, and in the future?" What an incredible amount of passion.

    You can post all you like about it. I don't give a and it won't change a damn thing.

    I say something, then get on with my life, except apparently to tell people to get on with theirs.

    No, it will never stop people's ing here. They could sign LeBron for the minimum and folks would still complain about Matt Bonner.
    speaking of complaining...i see your nick alot...like almost everyother response to anything said, by anyone, anytime, anywhere....makes me wonder if your closer to a midlife crisis or far from one

    i really dont know what happened to bonner....seems like one day he was there playing, hustling for boards, taking and making easy shots...then boom....bonner is missing, somewhere shining pop's pine...maybe cos he is smart he is valuable during practice sessions, cos other then that, no matter what he makes, he doesnt do much for us, and completely disappeared in the PO's....just another player who helps keeps minutes down during the season for other players im guessing...

    Probably won't because giving Bonner 9-10 million is a joke.
    But how would he pay for his Grand Prix?

    How can anyone not like the "Red Rocket"? I admit, there are times when seeing Bonner on the court makes me nervous, but the guy has never really got any decent playing time or a reliable spot in the rotation. He's a spot up shooter, rebounder, and a hustle player. That is what we brought him here for and that is his role. I think that there were some games this past year that he hit a couple of key shots that helped us win some games. I don't know what people expect of him anymore than what he has done?

    I expect him to at least not take a when he's on the floor.

    wasn't bonner supposed to be the second coming of robert horry?

    maybe if we got rid of horry now we can judge what bonner's worth.
