Pops Mensa Bonsu

Would ST hate Bonner so much if he weren't a ginger?

I wonder if the Toros still hold his D-League rights.

I wonder if the Toros still hold his D-League rights.

That would be huge, but I cannot see why he would pass up money in Europe to stay in the DL.

Hasn't he already used up his 2-year D-League eligibility?

I don't know what is available in the way of roster spots and money in Europe at this point. I'm sure it's more than the D-League, but there's always the opportunity for another call up. I could see it going either way. It certainly would help explain the Toros' draft choices.

He can join the D-League as a free agent at any time.

I thought that the Raptors were hot on his trail and, provided Pops doesn't accept a rumored standing offer with Macaabi, the Raps were -bent on bringing him back.

That only applies to being sent down, but kept on the 15 man NBA roster. As CD said, he can accept a d-league contract any time. Europe would pay better, though.

Thanks to you both for clearing that up.

Now does anyone think Pops is ready for prime time? He's been at this for about 3-4 years now. Any chance on him sticking somewhere?

Then how did Houston end up with him in the first place? I was only wondering; haven't kept up on any rumors.

Houston picked him up over the offseaon, as a FA signing. According to stuff I read, the Raptors had every intention on trying to keep him, but Houston got to him first.

Now that he's been released by the Rockets, the Raptors are dead serious about wanting hm back. They really like him and, of course, he became sort of a cult-favorite, just like he's been everywhere else. I think the ball is in Pop's court. Supposedly, he has an option to go to Europe or resign with the Raps.

I'd be down to signing him and sending Ian to the league if it's possible...
