I wholeheartedly approve of this move...but even with all the spending our FO has done I still wonder if they are willing to take on his contract.
He would be great Manu insurance though....
If they had descended, yet, you wouldn't have even suggested this.Course, I'd trade one of my balls for SJax.

Spurs poised to land Bogans

The Spurs have reached a verbal agreement to sign journeyman guard Keith Bogans.
Bogans, 29, averaged six points per game for Milwaukee last season. He made his name throughout a five-year NBA career as a steady perimeter defender. The Spurs hope the 6-foot-5 Bogans can help fill the defensive void created when they dealt Bruce Bowen in June.
Bogans is expected to formally sign a contract later this week.
At least one of Bogans' soon-to-be teammates has rolled out the figurative welcome wagon for him. On his Facebook page Monday night, Manu Ginobili posted this message for Bogans: "Welcome to the family, man."
It isn't yet known whether the one-year deal offered Bogans, worth the veteran's minimum of $1.03 million, is fully guaranteed or a make-good contract.
If it is the former, it would give the Spurs 14 players with guaranteed contracts heading into next week's training camp, and would likely leave non-guaranteed players like Marcus Williams and Malik Hairston fighting for the final roster spot.
keith bogans is a great pick up for that price, i like the defense he can give us, guys we are not going to trade mason period!!! not going to happen, bonner finley are very possible, but lets go back to chemistry we still need guys who know our system like the back of their hand!! finley hardly has value, but bonner and finley can prob get us something, but i wouldnt even want to marcus camby? hes 35!! plus the clippers are not going to trade him. did you guys take a look at the power rankings? rj dislocatedc his thumb and now we fall to 5th!!! god i cant wait to l.a up
finley/mason/bonner has to go.....throw in mahinmi/williams/hairston if we have too
i know im going to get for this, but us die hard fans should get together on spurs games and have some beers or take road trips to dallas, or houston. if anyone here is up for it let me know
The re s on this forum need to quit trying to trade Mason and Bonner.....
Good lord.
Wonder if Jefferson put in a good word or two...
No joke. Bonner gives us good depth. Mason will be a terrific spot starter or bench player.
Kobe stopper?
Nice move. Low risk/high reward type signing.
I know many are hoping Finley is being traded but I think this has more to do with Williams or Hairston.
To start the season, yes. Williams or Hairston just lost a spot on the roster. But after we're a couple of months into the season and we see how the rotation is shaking out things could change if Finley becomes a guy Pop feels like he could live without.
What this move really does is allow the Spurs to explore the idea of trading Finley without having to worry about depending on an unproven player to be RJ's backup if they're able to find a taker.

Thank God Pop finally answered the question: "Who will guard Kobe?"
So Bogans is a family man, too?
I agree but we figured as much that Finley (and Bonner or Mahinmi) would be expendable during the season should the Spurs have to make a trade. If Bogans fits right in then it takes the pressure off the Spurs of having to make a trade at all. Just let the expirings run off the books instead.
But many seem to think we could be trading Finley before camp now that Bogans is signed. I don't think that's the case. If anything, I think Finley takes Udoka's spot of last wing in the rotation. Log some DNP's, play garbage minutes.
If the Spurs can dump someone, like Finley, that they won't use, it could save the management a nice chunk of money. It is great that they are willing to spend in order to win, but I am all for them saving money where they can.
My balls HAVE descended, but that doesn't mean I get to use them.
With the new state of things, I think Nocioni is ideal, Camby second, and SJax third. Money Mase is expendable to me only in a Nocioni or SJax deal.
We can wait until the deadline for all I know, though it would be helpful to bring Nocioni right away. I don't know how important it would be to familiarize Camby, he would mainly become our defensive junky. (No pun intended.) Jackson is familiar with the system.
Course, Kaman would be great to have. I'd trade one of my balls for him.
Agreed that Finley won't get moved before the season starts.
So we pay Finley 2.5 million for a bunch of DNP?
No. Dump him and give his spot for Hariston and Williams so they can get another year of experience.
He's athletic.
Bogans actually isn't very athletic, it's part of the reason he struggles offensively..
He's strong, he works hard on D, he's decent from 3 if you give him time to set up his shot. That's about it. He's not particularly athletic or skilled.
Digging this signing. I get a big feeling that Finley is getting dumped though.
spurs paid steve smith over 8 milion for lots of dnp
steve smith earned his money tell tp to use his legs more in warm up in phoenix
tp got hot face lit up
he killed suns that game
