I agree. Let's move him IF we can. I know we WILL NOT re-sign him next summer.
He's more likely to go for a block or to take a hard foul if he's not starting and being expected to stay in for 30 minutes a night. His entire reason for existing changes with the role change from starter.
I look at the upcoming season for Bonner the same way I do for Tony Romo: We just removed all your reasons for failure, now go out and do your job and the results are on you.

Crap that shoots 44 pecent from three point range.
if sheed is gone, then my boner is a goner.
Bonner is worth what we're giving him, even if we land Sheed.
Also, I think it's a problem that we only have one true center on our roster in Mahinmi, even if we got Sheed, because I don't like Duncan being forced into the position. Camby would fix that, but 9.6 mil is tough to deal with.
Hey, I thought he was an alright pick in the 2nd that year. So what? I've been right about exactly everything else.
Says the fan of Josh McRoberts.
Also, Bonner is still crap.
Except when it matters...
I love Bonner's 3 point shot, but I hate his hacking defense. He is a liability on D for sure(watch his play against Dirk in the Playoffs), plus Sheed can shoot the 3, Bonner is expendable.
May be a noob, but he is correct. He frustrated and annoyed the out of Dirk. Plus I believe he now becomes a valuable asset. He now comes off the bence, clears space for sheed or timmy inside and works his azz off. I think, he is an ultimate role player and not a starter.huh?
like I said, look up Dirk's numbers, Bonner defended his ass damn good. Dirk didnt do the first 3 or 4 games with Bonner being the primary defender.
Wow, Dirk only avg. 19 points in 37 min per game. I guess Bonner did stop him. Bonner is a lock down defender, my bad, let's sign him to a long term deal.
When exactly did it matter last season?
Dirk's PPG regular season: 25.9
Dirk's PPG against Denver: 34.4
How about we just let him be a shooting specialist off the bench, since there seems to be no evidence in your statistic that he's a terrible defender.
Why the need for the center to shoot the 3 pointer when the spurs have many other options to shoot the 3 and now McClinton will be a great 3 pt. shooter.
A defensive center who can get rebounds and score around the basket and finish in transition would be more valuable than Bonner.
Duncan plays like a center even if you don't want to call him a center.
Agreed, I love Bonner coming off the bench. Or staying on the bench, either way I'm good.
The playoffs?
Why do you avoid to point out that we double and sometimes even triple teamed Dirk because his defender couldn't handle him one on one? Or are you gonna deny our gameplan was to cover Dirk and let everyone else score?
Bonner was a decent energy guy off the bench. Scrapping for boards, knocking down a shot or two, and using up some fouls to harass the out of the other team.
I think that kind of player is valuable, and I hope that Bonner still has it in him. The team was sort of forced to put him in a position that he wasn't suited for - or at least wasn't ready for.
You don't need a starting center to shoot three pointers. Having a big who can come in and shoot three pointers at a 40 percent clip from either the 4 or the 5 position and give you spot minutes as a gunner is great to have at the end of your bench.
And Bonner played like a forward even though you called him a center.
The Spurs spent most of that series leaving people open, because they chased the ball around the floor. The Mavericks' offense doesn't, nor has it ever, started with Dirk and you ing know it. The biggest disruptor of the Spurs' defense was JJ Barea's penetration. And the reality of Kidd, Howard, Terry and anyone else under six and a half feet tall being wide open throughout the series had more to do with Mason and Finley's horrible defense coupled with Pop's refusal to play either Bowen or Hill until it was too late.
That is why he needs to come off the bench, he is a PF behind Duncan and maybe even Blair.
Of course he does. I don't think the most enthusiastic Bonner supporter here believes he should start.
bonner should be out even if sheed does not come to SA ..
