Now we know Bonner will be traded on 2013 draft night
Yeah, that's really a 3yr-10.9mil contract. Not the 4/16 we originally feared, and certainly nothing like the RJ blasphemy. I will confine my ire at the FO to the RJ contract.![]()

It's not so bad guys c'mon.
It's a 10.9/3y contract. Nice trade asset in the last year. I know most of you guys hate Bonner, but he is not bad in the regular season.
The only bad contract we have is Jefferson's contract.
I also think it's way to much. however, the 4th year only 25% guaranteed is a powerful trade weapon in 2013 years and makes the extension in fact for 3 years.
No way is that worthless worth 13.89M! We are screwed! Worse FA signing ever!![]()
RJ says hi
Exactly. I don't see how anyone could say this is "way too much". The guy just came off a contract paying him roughly $3.2 million per season and has become a more established, slightly better player since he signed that deal. Also, he provides a skill that is greatly coveted in the league and ridiculous money was being thrown around this summer.
What did you expect (not hope for)? You shouldn't base your opinion of a contract based on whether you like the player or not or what you'd like to see him make; you should base it on what his market value is. I have a hard time believing this isn't market value for Bonner. He basically got a slight raise over his previous contract, with a $1 million guarantee in his final season.
oh he'll be getting that 4th year, and even with it he's underpaid![]()
because he is taller then you![]()
Two seasons ago this sign was at the top of my favorite Yahoo Sports article ever. Nothing but a nonstop "Matt Bonner" facts posting in the comments section.
Ahhhh... Nothing like the vaunted two arms up 'and1' defense...
Can't wait to see 4 more years of that![]()
Matt Bonner doesn't sleep...he waits
Go downstairs. They will love you. You can start a group if you want. I post this not to be mean but to let you know how I feel about the content of your post.
"Equality on Spurstalk"
Dude dont you get it??
I really don't care what his market value is. He's going to take playing time away from Splitter and Blair, who need all the PT they can get to be ready to contribute in the playoffs. I'd rather see Splitter and Blair fumble their way through the playoffs and get valuable playoff experience than see Bonner choke yet again.
And if Bonner's contract is what prevents the FO from signing Shaq (if he wants to come), it'll be even worse. LAL are the team to beat and Bonner can't help against them.
Cue the Suns overpaying for Channing Frye as a ways to justify this contract, which went from absolutely terrible to horrible now that the numbers are published (thanks Bruno).
