Noooo, Spurs re-sign Bonner

[baseline bum]

sure it was, and Pierce is all the Celts have too, stop him and you stop the Celts.

and defending one guy well in one series makes him a success? where's that leniency on Bonner? maybe if we had gotten that far Bonner would have finally started hitting 3's.


"main reason"

Weren't you one of the fans who said you weren't watching the Finals?

[ElNono]

the Big three are washed up and overpaid and we won't win another championship with them, no amount of crying, Bonner bashing, or whatever you and nono and baseline are doing will change that

Then why throw stupid money at him if we're done? Just sign up a few rooks for the min and start rebuilding...

[angelbelow]

Spurs being thrifty is a separate matter, Bonner's as good as anyone else they could have gotten for 4 mil per

so you think bonners value is worth 4 million on the market? i think hes a scrub that should maybe get a little bit more than a player like brian cook (2 years 2.5 mil). Bonner probably deserves 2 years 4 million.

Im not bashing bonner. im questioning the reason behind giving this guy a raise when hes probably not gonna play that much and how does helps our cap space in the future when we do try and rebuild.

I didn't,

and Artest still sucked

if he was ginger and on the spurs you'd be giving him the Bonner treatment

[InK]

Dont mind keeping Bonner, but cmon dont give his ass a raise. Thats just crap.

Spurs have no plans to rebuild, that was apparent when they resigned Manu

Spurs FO happy to be a first-round-exit team for the rest of TD's career

Tony Parker isn't even 30 years old. Manu was the 3rd best SG in the league 2nd half of last year, and Tim Duncan is the in GOAT..... you bash them to justify a 4 year Bonner contract... lol, off.

So you have no clue then. Artest brought Boston's halfcourt offense to a standstill when Pierce couldn't get past him. Half of Boston's halfcourt possessions would play out like

- Rondo brings the ball up the court, passes to Pierce
- Pierce holds it, tries to get past Artest, fails, has to turn around to protect the ball, dumps it back to Rondo and calls for the ball again.
- Pierce gets it back, tries to get past Artest, fails, forces a desperation jumper with the shot clock running down

But hey, you checked the box score.

Bonner re-ups with Spurs
By Jeff McDonald on Jul 9, 10 03:34 PM | Permalink | Comments (11) Save & Share Yahoo! BuzzYahoo! Newsvine del.icio.us Facebook Google Reddit Fark Twitter
Matt Bonner has agreed to a four-year deal to return to the Spurs.

"The whole time, I wanted to come back to San Antonio," Bonner said this afternoon from Derry, N.H., where he was running his annual basketball camp. "It's where my daughter was born. I have a lot of connection there. I'm excited to be back."

Complete terms of the agreement were not immediately available. Kenny Grant, Bonner's agent, said the deal is likely to be finalized over the weekend.

right, you watched the finals, so whatever you choose to say about it or the players involved is automatically true.

Artest = playoffs MVP because BB watched the finals

Vander, you should take the rest of the day off bro... You're goin all Dan Gilbert on us

[wut]

I think Bonner is capable of shooting a better percentage for 3 than he did this past season; he broke his hand right when he was starting to get hot.

He added depth to his game, and is capable of driving and taking jump shots. While he clearly isn't going to go in the game and stop anyone; he is a solid bench player that adds depth to the Spurs lineup.

I really don't get all the hate.

[tuncaboylu]

A good move by Spurs.
The Spurs would not be able to find a player who can shoot 40% from three for the vet minimum. Bonner would be able to do that. He also plays hard and tries on defense. Although he is atrocious at defense, the Spurs should still bring him back. Despite his choke job in the past 2 playoffs, he is still very helpful to the Spurs.

Please, Spurs, give Matt Bonner another chance.

http://www.spurstalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=158112

Good lord. 40% in the regular season. We all know he's been 0-for-choke in the playoffs. That's the only metric that matters. Stupid noobs.

You'e stupid enough not to understand the sarcasm. (Despite writing it in blue font)

You're a professional moron.

Ahhh yes, we've come to the heart of the matter now haven't we?

Perhaps you've forgotten the entire reason for the off season moves that were made last year. The idea was to win another championship while Timmy was still here. Rebuilding doesn't accomplish that. You fail.

[galvatron3000]

Anyone thinking keeping Bonner longer after th last two seasons hasn't been paying attention or seriously is not about the Spurs winning another Championship before Tim retires. We tried it and it doesn't work, and I'm not for him on the bench either, time to groom someone else at best or at least just go in another direction at worst, he would serve someone else better than the Spurs at this point.

[vander]

Bull ....

This from a guy with a Bonner sig... no wonder.

TP is under 30: so? did you see those PGs run circles around him in the playoffs? did you see him beating ANYONE off the dribble in the playoffs? dude had his run, TD made him look better than he was, he's never had great PG skills, just quickness and layup skills, and he no longer has quickness.

Duncan is GOAT: so? where has that gotten him recently?

Manu was 3rd best for short time: so? he wasn't 3rd best when it mattered, and he can't get to the rim against playoff defense, he's basically Brent Barry from here on out

[vander]

seems to me that the Spurs failed, and are going to keep failing

[Agloco]

Without reading through every single post, does signing Bonner tie up ANY of the money for the MLE?

No.

[siraulo23]

hey guys its no so bad, bonner spreads the floor in the regular season which makes life easier for duncan to work inside and regular season wins get you into the playoffs

hey there was an improvement from the 09' series vs the mavs and the this year's playoffs, hopefully thats a sign

nope, role player analysis
