Splitter should demand a trade...

[therealtruth]

Pop needs to go and look at his old tapes. He used to play D. Robinson and Duncan together. Heck he even used to use a frontline of Perdue, Robinson, and Duncan. Now he's allergic to big frontlines for some reason. Most teams would love to be able to start to skilled 7 footers.

By the way, standing reach numbers from Draftexpress:

Malcolm Thomas: 8' 10"

Matt Bonner: 8' 9.5"

Aversion to size.. That didn't net him 4 rings..

And what have you been watching since that last championship in 2007? A healthy superstar power forward, in his prime, along with a well-balanced roster that featured two other All-star players, were the catalysts for those les.

The fact a 35 year old Tim Duncan is still the best big on this team should tell you something. The fact that Matt Bonner IS even on this team and playing heavy rotation minutes should also tell you something.

[SenorSpur]

Matt Bonner plays defense like an assistant coach during shooting drills, which is why his opponents are always able to shoot over him. The only difference is that Bonner manages to foul the guys and then stand there with his hands up in the air like he didn't do anything wrong. We can split hairs over whether it's smallball or not, but he's got no business playing power forward or center in a good NBA rotation.

Bonner has no business on this team at all.

On top of that, its annoying when he hits a 3 and certain posters in the live thread go "bonner just took a on spurstalk." For sakes thats the LEAST we can expect of him. If hes not hitting those shots hes literally a waste of roster, 4 million a year and 16 million total. he better hit those wide open 3s because that at least neglects his uselessness by a tad.

I'm fine with him as an instant source of 9 or 12 points in 3 or 4 minutes every few games. , he'd almost be worth that contract if he could do that for you.

With that said, I hope he starts nailing open 3s at a similar rate to last year. Good point about the 3 or 4 minutes because good chance hes useless from april.

For my money, he's a waste no matter what he does. It's maddening that some posters, and more importantly the head coach, simply choose to ignore Bonner's penchant for melting down under pressure. He's got no stones to match his set of limited skills and below average athleticism. And don't get me started on his playoff production - or lack thereof. If a player only one skill, he'd better be the best at it, regular season and playoffs. Bonner isn't.
