Agreed, just because Bonner was played out of position doesn't make him a bad player.
Mason IMO if used in the Michael Finley role of 07 should blossom giganticly.
Lots of crazy depth on this team now with this signing.
As little as the Spurs used Bowen last year, it appears the Spurs have improved their D and rebounding in the off-season.
Jefferson and Bogans on the perimeter.
McDyess, Ratliff and Blair on the interior.
Healthy players will make everything better, though.
I don't see why some think they have to dump Finley just to save money. They seem committed to paying this year if it makes the team better. I think Finley would be more valuable to the team come playoff time than Williams or Hairston would. Especially if there's not a lot of minutes to be had after Richardson, Ginobli, Mason, Bogans.
I'm sure if they have an opportunity to trade someone to save money they will do so. But it's not like they have to scramble and dump someone right away. If at all.
They have some crazy depth now. Need to find out if it all comes together though. And with the way other teams have loaded up it's not a bad thing for the Spurs to be loaded either.
ilikee!
I feel some bodies are on their way out though...
HOW old is bogans?

Spurs obtain journeyman guard Bogans
Jeff McDonald
When the Spurs included Bruce Bowen in the June trade that pried scoring star Richard Jefferson from Milwaukee, they were well aware that doing so would create quite a void on the other end of the floor.
Bowen, after all, was an eight-time member of the NBA’s All-Defensive team and widely regarded as one of the most suffocating perimeter defenders in league history. Those kinds of players don’t necessarily grow on trees.
“Bruce has been a great defender at the wing,” general manager R.C. Buford said at the time. “We’re not going to be negligent in that pursuit. That’s a piece of our plan going forward.”
With a week to go before the start of training camp, the Spurs appear poised to add the perimeter defender they’ve been chasing all summer.
Keith Bogans, the 29-year-old journeyman guard who spent the final 29 games of last season playing with Jefferson in Milwaukee, has agreed to a one-year deal worth the veteran’s minimum of $1.03 million to join the Spurs.
Bogans, a 6-foot-5 shooting guard, has averaged 7.5 points over a five-year career that includes stints with seven teams. He averaged 5.6 points in 65 games last season, split between the Magic and the Bucks.
Like Bowen before him, however, Bogans has built his professional reputation on the defensive end.
As news of Bogans’ impending arrival to San Antonio circulated Monday night, at least one of Bogans’ soon-to-be Spurs teammates rolled out the figurative welcome wagon. On his Facebook page, Manu Ginobili posted this message to Bogans: “Welcome to the family, man!”
It is not immediately clear whether Bogans’ contract is fully guaranteed or if it is a make-good deal for camp. Bogans is expected to formally sign the contract later this week.
spurs should get a decent player and pick
a team looking to dump salary
Interesting.
they waited it out
they made their low offer
and no other team offered alot more

This is where you got into trouble "scouting" Roger Mason Jr. One youtube clip does not tell you about the guys game. You have to watch him. He is in the NBA, so he is "athletic", but it is not his strong suit.
McDonald is right about us missing a big part of our D with Bruce retiring. I don't know much about Bogans but I hope he can somewhat fill that void (giggity).
