Noooo, Spurs re-sign Bonner

[slick'81]

how much money did that asshat bonner get??

[Texas_Ranger]

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?

1. No one

2. No

3. Pop likes his floor spreading, so I'd say 20.

1. Few, if any

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

I didn't even want that Spurs re-sign Bonner for the min.
We will see what is Bonner exact contract. Maybe it isn't as bad as it seems.

[slick'81]

bonner for 4mil you have got to be ing kidding really spurs really?!

I hope it's Haislip part 2. First report was LLE and it was just a minimum deal

[Bruno]

Bonner getting $4M per year is a speculation. It could be slightly less. Nobody knows for the moment.

This is gold.

[DPG21920]

It is not the amount that bothers me, although I did not want him or RJ back for anything, it is the years. Makes me want to spit.

[ElNono]

The report said he was getting a raise from his 3.2 mill last season. Could easily be 3.3 million, or the report could be wrong.

[vander]

now with Splitter supposedly coming over, this makes even less sense, so is Dyess retiring? or are the Spurs trading Blair for someone older?

[DPG21920]

It just makes such little sense. Why pay Bonner. He is going to be your 5th big (or should be) and you could have plucked someone from the D-Leauge with a similar skill set for so much cheaper. At least they would have upside.

[Bruno]

Exactly, you had to be careful as long the details deals aren't fully known. The 4th year could be a team option or a non-guaranteed one, the yearly salary is unknown and could even be lower than $3.2M.

Wait and see...

[Agloco]

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.

And that's exactly my point. You're butthurt over the fact that the Spurs didn't blow things up a few years back. We get it. Move along.

[Mark in Austin]

The Spurs don't need a soft PF who is a one-trick pony who forgets his trick when the games start to matter. They need bigs who can rebound, defend, and get high percentage looks inside. That skillset of Bonner's is hugely detrimental to the success of the Spurs. It worked with Horry because he was also a phenomenal defensive player with a basketball IQ that was off the charts.

Have to agree with this. Still wouldn't be opposed to him at LLE money, but at 4 million per year? That's just awful. I wonder if it was Lindsey who negotiated the deal...

[Seventyniner]

What if the contract is something like 3.5 every year with the last year unguaranteed? Then it's really just 3/10.5, which is still too much, but not completely absurd.

[DPG21920]

I would rather have a high energy guy like Tolliver back as a 5th big.

anything more than what he got last season is absurd we all know what matt bonner is by now

Or perhaps packaging the two for an upgrade. I don't really see them parting with McDyess unless he goes to a winner. I don't think they'd sell him down the river like that.

that would be a dream and to think we had him at one time sure he stunk it up but looks to be light years ahead of bonner now

no, you are needlessly "butthurt" over the Bonner signing.
once you(all) accept the reality of the situation, you will (all) realize there is no reason to get so emotional over this or any signing, it doesn't really make a difference.

[rascal]

Bad move, like many bad moves the fo has made over the last 3 years.

Someone needs to play in Toronto on back-to-backs when timmy is resting. Might as well put this garbage out there.
Have him "stretch" the floor while Splitter owns in the paint.

[Chomag]

NBA teams are loading up and this is our FO's first set of business.

Miami grabs lebron and Bosh but Spur counter with a Bonner signing, that's pretty fairly even right?

He'd have been a uva a lot cheaper too.
