, I thought you were trolling.

I think Bonner is gonna stay, he saved Pop's life once...
Ginger doesn't deserve his own thread, tbqfh.
It's ed up though, because we really needed him to space the floor in this series. We had everything we needed to beat this team. If Diaw would've at least shot the ball when he was open, things could've been different. Most of the time you can point to a series of events that change things. We knew going into this series what we needed to be successful.
GET IBAKA OUT THE PAINT SO TP COULD DO WORK!!!
TP needed room to work his magic! Green didn't help, but Kawhi stepped up big a few games so that was almost a wash. We couldn't get good looks! Thanks alot, Stretch Four!
I don't see the Spurs amnestying anyone.
Sadly, I agree.
That doesn't rule out trades.
And before the knee-jerk "Who would want Bonner?" post, who did you think wanted RJ before he was traded?
Bonner was always more easily trade-able than RJ because of his contract. There will be takers too. That's not an issue.
Issue has always been Pop and his love affair with him even after year after year of epic choking.
Yeah, I can see us trying to work something around Bonner, Blair and Neal as a package. That's enough talent and expiring contracts to maybe get us something decent. As a trio, that's roughly 5.5 million in salary and we could take back up to 7 million in salary. I'd love to try and get say Ilyasova as a S&T...
Off-topic, I wanted to check out Matt Bonner's salary so I typed his name into Google and the 2nd most searched is "Matt Bonner gay" lol.
IIRC hes married to a female with kids right?
Bonner has an non-guaranteed contract in 2013/2014 season so he'll be easier to trade then. For now, I think a player like Bonner has the value of a 2nd round pick. What are you guys expecting in return for Bonner? Or does he have to be packaged with someone else to have value in this case?
I'd trade him for a 2nd rounder in a heartbeat.
lol bonner thread this is a broken record.He doesnt make enough to be worth amnesty so stick around and get solid run in the regular season and be a +/- monster
Finding a team that could use a clutch shooter off the bench like Neal ought shouldn't be that hard. That's a useful spare part for a lot of teams.
Finding a team that can use a power forward with range like Bonner is certainly possible, but the fact that he's truly terrible in pressure situations is a strong strike against him. Possible we can find someone, though.
Finding a team that could use a backup power forward and garbage collector like Blair is certainly possible, but it's hampered by the fact that he doesn't have any one go-to NBA skill since his rebounding dropped off after his rookie year.
Finding a team that's going to look at those 3 spare parts and decide those guys are exactly what they need is much, much harder. So trading them together for a single useful asset would be enormously difficult.
I never thought I would say this, but he has to go.
Sig worthy.
It's a disgrace that warriors such as Tim Duncan, Tony Parker, Manu Ginobili and Stephen Jackson have had to rely on this for production.
A nearly 50 year old D-Rob would have contributed more in the playoffs than Bonner.
Amnesty the dude, or at least trade him to some desperate team for a 2nd rd pick or something
I don't care but you can't have him on this team next year you gotta let someone go and the man with no balls is the one who has to go.
http://blog.mysanantonio.com/spursna...ter-breakdown/Matt Bonner
Position: Forward
Age: 32
Contract status: Two years, $7.575 million (final season partially guaranteed)
Future: Shot team-high 42 percent from 3-point range, but production and playing time again dipped in postseason. Could be a trade or amnesty candidate, but position as floor-spreading big man difficult to fill.
We need to keep him. He is still improving and his experience in the playoffs will catch up next season.. Its hard to get a big man who can shoot 3s
Not it's not, we had Novak for next to nothing last year and he shoots better than Bonner.
why do we even need a big man that can shoot the 3's. why not just have a big man that can shoot the mid range 2.
