How about neither as an option?Bonner can be a force?
please, open your eyes. Come playoff time and God forbid, we have 2 options on the bench, a 38 year old Horry or a 28 year old Bonner. I will pick Horry to come in 99.9% of the time.
in other words an old and broke down Horry still >> Bonner
beleive me, I would like Horry to retire too, but not before Bonner is out of the team and we have a better option.
i just get a bad feeling that if Horry leaves the spurs join a contender and burn us next time we play him.
and the funny thing is if that were to happen, all the people here on ST who are asking for his release right now will say they never should have let hin go.
I think he is pretty much done, but I would bring him back. Its good to have that old veteran on the bench that gets marginal minutes.
especially in the playoffs.
if Horry can play around 10-20 minutes a game during the regular season, that should be enough to get him into shape and a rythym for the playoffs
As much as we love Big Shot Rob, it is time to bid farewell. Mahinmi, Bonner etc. won't grow with Horry having their minutes.
Finley must go as well.
no reason why Bonner should be here. he costs too much for what he brings to the team and is too short for a PF, and too big for a SG.
Horry should stay. period.
Bonner is crap and expensive
I'd only want Horry back in a Ferry/Willis role from 2003. Yeah he's done as a rotation player, but like some others, I'd take old washed up Horry over the Red Rocket.
Some of you guys only remember the Lakers series and forget how clutch he played vs the Hornets on the road in Game 7. Plus, Horry brings that enforcer at ude (ie hit on David West in Game 6), that Bonner doesn't bring.
Hope he doesn't end up on the rockets roster.
My thoughts exactly! Why does Pop forsake Bonner and his genuine hustle for Horry and his coasting the whole season, only to hopefully turn it on during the playoffs? He goes with the veteran players out of loyalty. Pop has always done that. Remember Van Exel and his gimp shoulder? Who got forsaken? Beno Udrih.
If he ends up on the Rockets, I would venture to think that our GM Dennis Lindsey is still being employed by his former team. The Spurs have been losing out on alot of good NBA quality players since he has been employed here in San Antonio.
Horry just signed an endorsement deal for Medicare gap insurance.
They should probably bring Horry and Finley back for insurance. This will allow Hairston and Gist to gain experience in the NBDL, and when (if) they are ready, you can always find an injury for Horry or Finley. Horry may not be able to shoot anymore, but he can block a shot, rebound, and give a hard foul when you need him to.
not this again.
Beno could not dribble the ball past half court when pressured. Bonner did tons of bonehead plays to deserve benching.
on the other hand, look at Udoka, he won his minutes.
this crap that Pop screwed Bonner, Beno, Devin Brown, etc, etc is a myth!!!
No he is currently employed by the Spurs. But he does work for us though, you guys just write the pay checks.
I'd be interested in some examples of how Bonner played his way into the doghouse getting minutes when they knew what he was when they paid him all that money. Did he turn it over once? Since everyone points to four turnovers as the reason Beno sucks, then there has to be at least that much evidence to prove what a terrible decision it was to get Bonner here.not this again.

even though Bonner did his share of bonehead plays all throughout the season. He did have a "decent" season but when Pop tried to insert him a few times in the playoffs... He ended up embarrasing the entire team in a few plays and was benched. This happened a few times.
on the other hand, Udoka came in and did good things most of the season and playoffs. and earned his minutes.
The fact that this is a Horry Thread and we are talking about Beno and Bonner should tell you what we think about Horry...........HES DONE
