Noooo, Spurs re-sign Bonner

[Agloco]

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

With mister "O fer Infinity" sitting on the bench during the playoffs, I don't even need my crystal ball to confirm your su ions. But hey, let's not let that inconvenient fact ruin our block party for Bonner's resigning.

"He spreads the floor."
"He will only play 10mpg."

Wake the up. This signing officially etches the closing tombstone date on championship level Spurs defense.

yep, but without bonner we had a chance

also, I stated already in this thread that I would have preferred Bonner sign elsewhere

[Obstructed_View]

What a bargain for the first big off the bench. Can't wait to see him defending starters in the post for another four years.

yet another melting down "all star" who actually thinks Bonner effects our championship chances

so, you've mailed it in too? why defend T-rex then?

I had a slight bit of hope for this season with Spitter coming in, but this is a waste of a roster spot for a player that will get significant playing time.

It starts with him because he's usually the first big off the bench. Plug in a decent big who plays a lick of defense and blocks shots and the Spurs have a shot. Bonner amounted to absolutely nothing in the playoffs.

Rest assured, he's gonna develop another fine case of blueball once the playoffs roll around.

If he makes as much as reported he will play rotation minutes. That affects championship chances.

Why would you tie up four more years with Matt Bonner??

[tuncaboylu]

Why would you tie up four more years with Matt Bonner??

Because his game is improving year by year

[DPG21920]

Same reason people sign Kleiza.

[Agloco]

jesus christ 4 years might as well be a life time

---Signed Manu Ginobili and Timothy Duncan.

[rayray2k8]

I honestly don't care since Blair and Splitter will end up eating up his minutes.

that is the million dollar question he has absolutely sucked balls in the postseason when the spurs need him most yet every time he gets resigned first 3 years now 4 whats the fascination with this 6/9 hack who cant board defend or hit a three to save his life when it counts??

[tomtom]

LMAO 4 years

[ploto]

Now if we can just lock in Jefferson for 4 more years, we'll be all set.

[angelbelow]

I honestly don't care since Blair and Splitter will end up eating up his minutes.

Its not that simple - I see his contract eventually becoming a problem as well. Its like with RJ, people didnt like him because he was overpaid, at a more reasonable contract he could be a good addition.

I was just looking at a Miami Heat website and there's a lot of chatter there about Bonner resigning.... and to be honest, or so it seemed to me, a lot of fear, too.

BTW, while I don't like Spurs re-signing Bonner, especially for that kind of money/length, I'm happy for him. Bonner is one of the most likable personality in the NBA. When you see how Lebron has acted yesterday, it's good to see that all that NBA money can also go to nice guys.

If the rumor about Splitter is confirmed, Spurs have finished their shopping for their frontcourt. Duncan, Splitter, Blair, McDyess and Bonner is a depth front court with some quality. I guess Ryan Richards will also be added and send to Austin.

Next step: filling the SF spot.

[galvatron3000]

I'd rather have Shaq, man I sure hope a trade is in the works

[DPG21920]

What is worse:

Kleiza + Amir = 54M

or

Bonner + RJ = 50M

That is tough.

How would you feel if the Spurs signed RJ & Bonner to 4+ year deals?

but our chances were 0.00% before we signed Bonner, so what's the problem?

Spurs have chosen (by not trading Manu and TP) to just be compe ive for the rest of TD's career, rather than actually rebuilding while we have/had some pieces to trade.

[DPG21920]

Question 1: Who else would have offered Bonner this money?

Question 2: Does it make sense to pay your 5th big 4M per year?

Question 3: How many minutes does Bonner see next year?
