Noooo, Spurs re-sign Bonner

[ohmwrecker]

yes, he should - Tim's blocks have gone down over the years and Splitter, Blair and McDyess are not big in blocks either. Bonner definitely helps in that area

Uh . . . MATT Bonner?

[Solid D]

KSAT just reported that Bonner signed a 4-year deal at $3.2 per season... but that was KSAT.

The only blocks Matt is known for is for when Matt tries to draw a charge and he's called for a "block" instead.

at Solid D.

It just makes little sense to me. Even if it is 3M per year, that is a lot to pay a 5th big that has no upside.

For the right price, Matt's the man. Happy for him and his family.

I don't see how you don't get it - Matt is a rare commodity at 6'10" and shoots 40%. In fact he might be the only "big man" in the NBA that is a 3 point assassin. His added weak side defense and shot blocking is an added plus. And oh man how he hustles - could be the fastest big man in the NBA running down the court.

$14 million is a heck of a bargain when you think of the games he'll be closing out for the Spurs in the playoffs.

Wih 10.5% raises, that would start at 2.75 mil. Would give us just a bit more flexibility but I like Bruno's idea of a flat rate contract.

Matt has average 21 blocks per season. That's not that many. Richard Jefferson has averaged 26 blocks per season. Also, Matt isn't known for being fast. Just because he's churning up the floor, it doesn't mean he's burning up the floor.

Solid D, Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Perhaps dawg was just being sarcastic.

Sorry, I forgot to look who was posting.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

I will never understand why pompous ass golden spoon TPark always acts like The Double Rainbow guy every time this FO makes any move.

"ooooooohhhohohohooo....spurs FO is so intennnnnsssssse soooo inteeennnnsssseee..."


you are such a tool it blows the mind, only reason I still post here is because you weren't voted all ST, would have totally taken all ST credibility to the grave

[Solid D]

Quitting would have made you a suc ber and that would have made you....well,....faded.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

"Double Bonner......soooo o o oo o inteennnnnsseee"

luckily is right matty

[angelbelow]

3 Million for Bonner isnt the ideal contract (for us) but its definitely not horrible.

[jaffies]

yes, he should - Tim's blocks have gone down over the years and Splitter, Blair and McDyess are not big in blocks either. Bonner definitely helps in that area

yup.
