In a heartbeat. He's only 22, towers over just about everyone in the league and has a solid post game. Ive been suggesting this since the 09-10 season tbh. Do it RC.
Can we then turn around and trade Bynum for Dwight Howard like the Lakers are going to do?

TP+RJ for Bynum+Odom
Do it.
Well, Bynum does have larger breasts than Eva.
At this point I think we could have Hakeem circa 1994 and Pop would still play Bonner in front of him.
Neither is Fish IMO.
yeah like lakers need another shannon brown on their team
millsap is good on defense, is almost as good as chuck hayes. thats my only impress about this player.
Lakers would be stupid to do that trade.
No. We don't wholesale our team as a kneejerk reaction. It's hard to build a playoff team. Blowing one up in hopes of building another one is absurd. I would understand if we were in the luxury tax, but we aren't. We are fine. Splitter will be active next year and will change the look of the team considerably.
lol @ people thinking they would not only accept this deal, but take Jefferson's contract AND give up Odom too. WTF?
That said, I'd give Parker and draft picks for Bynum. Then I'd use the MLE to get Dragic or Brooks. Prefer Dragic because Brooks is a defensive liability, just like Parker is. Use the rest of the MLE/LLE to try to lure Pietrus and then call it a day.
C - Bynum 7'1"
PF - Duncan 6'11"
SF - Jefferson 6'7"
SG - Ginobili 6'6"
PG - Dragic 6'4"
That's a combination of size, athleticism and skill that would be unmatched from the rest of the league, outside of Miami. Then you bring a talented big guy like Splitter and the versatility of Hill off of the bench. You have the scrappy garbage player in Blair to take spot minutes and make things happen, and you have Neal and Bonner as the 3 point assassins. You also have a lockdown defender in Pietrus, who is capable of guarding a LeBron or Kobe. It's far-fetched, but if it happened, I think it would be a ring. I see no reason why it wouldn't be. Nobody in the league could match that size.
Lol @ Bonner being an assassin.
Still, I think that's about the best we can hope for.
Doing this in 2008 would have been a knee jerk reaction...how many more humiliating playoff defeats do you need to see? For the last four years we've been ousted in an embarrassing fashion. We weren't even compe ive against the teams we lost to.
He led the league in 3 point shooting, and is currently the best stretch 4(outside of Nowitzki) in the league. I'm not one of those that hates on Bonner without reason, he's a spotup shooter and Parker wasn't creating open looks for him in the playoffs. He set them up to a win a game by making incredibly difficult 3s, actually, and they blew it.
Kobe would not allow another ball hog on the Lakers.
Exactly. What's the point of holding on to "The Big Three" if it's just a steady downfall into playoff failure? Tim is no longer Big, Manu injures himself and thus is not Big and Parkers mental game is too small.
Why would we do that if we are getting Oden? Oops I spilled the beans. My source is gonna kill me.
Please.
After Pop welcomed a rapist on the Spurs with open arms anything is possible.
How many bigs with a similar injury history prior to their 24th birthday have gone on after to have relatively healthy productive careers? Is the number even 1?
He's worth a gamble if you can get him for pennies on the dollar, but the Lakers shouldn't and wouldn't sell him for that.
By the same token, I think he'd have to play a full season next year (however many games that may be) for the Magic to even consider him as a return for Howard.
I will take a playoff loss over a Timberwolves existence.
Some of you must feel your team has the same buying power as the Lakers or the Celtics. No one wants to come to SA, and the last I checked, it was still a free country.
^Easy D
lol
Bonner is no where near Nowitszki's class. His offensive arsenal consists of shooting uncontested 3 pointers or taking a dribble or 2 into the paint and taking an awkward looking shot or his patented "oh what the did I get myself into" 180 degree turn and look for teammate to pass the ball to. And usually by the time he finally finds a teammate to pass the ball to (after alot of frantic zig zag running by teammates), there is less than 5 seconds left on the shot clock. This is it for Bonner. You get virtually no fast break layups, steals, turnovers, blocked shots, putbacks, etc.
And now the grizz pretty much gave the blueprint to the rest of the league on how to neutralize his open looks by using using guards / small forwards to check him out on the 3pt line and still pack the paint with size. So his one usefullness (drawing bigs out of the paint) just took a hit.
Im guessing Fisher/Blake run circles around Parker right?
As a player, of course not, it's silly to even say, because it should go without saying. But... Nowitzki is nowhere near Bonner's class as a pure shooter.
That's because 15 seconds of the shot clock have already been dribbled out by Parker.His offensive arsenal consists of shooting uncontested 3 pointers or taking a dribble or 2 into the paint and taking an awkward looking shot or his patented "oh what the did I get myself into" 180 degree turn and look for teammate to pass the ball to. And usually by the time he finally finds a teammate to pass the ball to (after alot of frantic zig zag running by teammates), there is less than 5 seconds left on the shot clock.
The same could be said for Nowitzki on all accounts.This is it for Bonner. You get virtually no fast break layups, steals, turnovers, blocked shots, putbacks, etc.
Bonner's unconventional screwball shotput/sidearm release is not mechanically sound, which is part of the reason his shooting stroke is so inconsistent, and he almost always struggles under pressure. Comparing it to Dirk's textbook jumper is laughable dude.
And as far as the rest of his game, Nowitszki has about 100 other ways to score than Bonner has, starting with an array of post up moves and fadeaways... Bonner would be lucky to hit the top of the backboard with some of the shots Dirk makes regularily.
But by all means, please carry on, I'm rather enjoying this.
