OT - how did I earn SpursTalk cash? How does one go about betting? I don't see the answers in the ST FAQ
If Pop has transferred his undeserved man-love obsession from Finley to Bonner after Finley spurned him, fine.
Pay Bonner his ridiculous yearly salary. Take a bath with him in a tub filled with hundred dollar bills using hoagies as luffas while Okkervil River plays romantically on the mp3 stereo, it's all good. Whisper regular season Plus/Minus numbers with giggles, mix in breathy recitations of regular season 3 point percentages with raised eyebrows. I'm happy for them.
But FOUR YEARS?
FOUR DAMN YEARS?
For a guy who is already 30?
What the F?
There is nobody with a neutral pov on this earth or any other alternate dimension earth who could possibly, EVER, think that Bonner just NEEDED 4 years.
What, if you didn't give him 4 years he was gonna walk? LET HIM WALK over his fourth damn year.
I don't give a damn if it's only partially guaranteed or a team option as could be the case.
WHY give him 4 years? Were the Spurs afraid that he would be poached after a 2 year deal when he's 32? Oh no!
Spurs just aren't serious about contending to get into the Finals anymore. They've slipped into Nash territory, where 'the journey is more important than the destination' and you don't care about winning as long you spend the time with the redheaded people you care most about.

You can use them in the casino. Or you can wait for the regular season, where vBookies are available to bet. I think everybody gets a bit of cash here and there every once in a while.
Go to casino then vbookie for bets during the season. I dont see anything up now for bets.
WTF...I would only be ok with it if he get a vet-min.The new contract is expected to exceed the annual salary of $3.2 million he earned last season.
WTF Spurs??? Are you ing kidding me? Is Matt Bonner boning the owners daughter ALA triple H?
It suits the signing.
Sadly, the only people truly knowledgeable about NBA basketball are those whom have worked, played or somehow been involved with the NBA. And about 99.9% of the members of this forum don't meet that requisite. And even more sadly, besides the few truly knowledgeable posters, some people become quite arrogant with their "knowledge" to the point where they try and put people down whom they deem inferior in basketball knowledge in reality they are they same as the person they slammed. They are just fans and speculators like the other thousand or so posters on this board. So how many teams have you played for, coached or GM'd? Who pays you for your superior analysis? Good lord, it's the people like you who take the fun out of sports for some people because you seem to think you know more than others when you're just an observer like the rest of us. And until you play in the L, coach in the L or become paid for your analysis please, you and the people like you, kindly shut the up. Or you can at least be polite or courteous with your "knowledge" like some of the more respectable posters here.
P.S....Bonner sucks.
I just spoke with Matt Bonner and told him of the disapproval of him from fans. He had this to say.
I'm sick of these scurillous non-basketball attacks on Matt Bonner.
I have a basketball question regarding Bonner.
If Bonner were to die in a tragic accident (before he signed), would he count against the Spurs' salary cap?

Thanks for proving my point. You know absolutely nothing about putting an NBA team together.
further proof that the so called "genius" of the front office is now living in Oklahoma City.
What a joke of franchise the Spurs have become.
Absolutely PATHETIC.
Bonner and RJ back = 3 players on this team taller than 6-7 = no defense = no le= tim_duncan_fan pissed off rant = sequ quits team another 20 times this year = pop apologists saying small ball is a necessary evil = Bonner playing more than Splitter = RJ playing more than Anderson = Spurs make playoffs for no reason while Lakers win West again = Lakers get to play against the super-team while we get no lotto pick = spurs dominance dies off for good = spurstalk sad
Thanks in advance to Richard Allen Jefferson and Matthew Robert Bonner for ruining the Spurs' season 2 years in a row.
I think your comments clearly show your ignorance and lack of maturity about not only NBA basketball but about acting like a civilized person. How old are you? 13? You've obviously shown you have no capacity to string together any coherent thoughts about constructing a team in today's NBA.
I would suggest you go back to your room. The adults are talking in here.
But you do? okay
Sounds good! Why don't you go ahead and leave then? Go root for somebody else. Nobody forcing you to root for this team.
You didn't even know how many games we played against the Lakers, but you know how to put together an NBA team...
okay
wtf give him a raise..
shouldve just given him minimum long term contract or trade his ass
but but but but Matt Boner can always turn it around
No. But he does have a current 6.5M cap hold, so my guess is legally that would stay on until the right paperwork is filed. (But in the meantime all the other spurs would get A's for the season...)
Hey you! New guy! Yeah you, Birn!
I've been here for 3 years and probably a couple more as a lurker. I'm not going anywhere and I don't need some asshole checking my fanhood. I don't usually do the post-count thing, but you have 32 posts...buzz the off.
As if my rant wasn't completely warranted. Bonner and RJ ing suck. And RJ really, literally does...or so I hear.

What a ing joke!
It's enough bringing Boner back but to give him a lot of money and a 4 year contract?
WTF has he done to be a long term Spur? Oh well I guess the FO wanted to overpay somebody like teams have been so far.
Bonner, you got your contract. Now play like you deserve it. Stop acting like a scared teenager on the court.
this . I got 11 pages into this thread before giving up and jumping to the end.
Bonner is making out like a bandit and you can tell from his comments that he knows it. He was lucky to get the deal he had before and is un- ing-believably lucky to get this new deal. It's like he can't believe he was a hair from being out on the street selling cars and won the ing lottery because the Spurs FO is too stupid to cut his ass lose. I guarantee that if the Spurs had not picked him up, he would have gotten nothing more than the vet min from another team. This guy literally must have a horseshoe crammed up his ass.
Bonner looks like an SNL exaggerated parity of a ty basketball player: Pasty white, red hair, slightly chubby, un-athletic as all get out, flailing around the court like a lost puppy, pussing out on wide open looks, getting posterized on the other team's jumpers, picking up fouls like a vacuum cleaner, and basically failing to do anything productive whatsoever.
Part of me wants to fight on as a Spurs fan and stick by the team. Another part of me feels like the team needs to be held accountable for bad decisions and that there needs to be a consequence for doing something so incredibly stupid.
I can't stop thinking about how frustrating it will be to repeatedly see the Spurs on a hot streak up by 6 on a decent team, only for Bonner to check in and spark a 9-0 run for the other team. I just don't know how much more of that I can take.
Eh, any spurs fan should of seen this coming a long ways away. Shock is unwarranted. The FO loves the guy.
