i personally don't think we should kill him.
I mean, come on... I know Blair sucks too, but goddamn...

Not sure why a Bonner thread is necessary after this particular game, tbh.
You have to ask Pop permission.
He's pretty useless now, tbh. He's not even a good regular season player anymore.
He should retire, tbh.
Because it would be a cause for concern sooner or later,tbh. I think we all have learned this from experience.
Because he can't even play... two games in a row now he's been yanked out... he's wasting precious roster space and $3m
I'm declaring for the draft if Bonner can play in the nba
Because I think deep down inside people fear that Pop will go back to Bonner ball as long as he's still on the roster. Include me in that lol
Matt Bonner second half minutes in the 2012-13 NBA season: 0
i've thought the same thing. basically if you have one single skill and you can practice it day in and day out, eat sleep and breath this ONE set skill, you can probably play in the nba. i imagine bonner is that nerd that you see in the gym that has the ball rack next to him and just shoots beyond the arc like he's in some stupid 3 pt. contest..... oh, and i forgot he's 6'10", that's gotta play a factor
You know a guy sucks when you wish the team kept Novak instead of him. I think Novak made more shots in his one career playoff series last season than Bonner's had in his playoff career.
dude the pussiness factor goes up when he is on the floor drastically. when blair is out there, it's virtually nothing, most of you don't know about basketball anyway.
During each of the first game, I always find myself thinking just how much better this Spurs team would be if they had a more dynamic PF presence on the roster. A PF with some length and strength that could defend other bigs, rebound, block an occasional shot and hit a midrange J consistently. In short, all the things that Bonner doesn't do.
Now that, is good to see. Spurs really need to try and dump Bonner on a team looking for salary cap relief next season. Open up a roster spot, sign Martin and another big.
The amnesty is still available...
Maybe the only reason Pop is playing him is to see if he will catch fire.
I cringe when I hear the commentators say "Here comes Bonner , he can spread the floor." Bonner looks lost out there.
This. I envision a 6"11 version of McDyess around the age of 28.
Alas, that's a pipe dream.
That 3M is a sunk cost and the Spurs have an available roster spot. The best opportunity to make Bonner disappear (without packaging him with a valuable asset) was during the amnesty period in July. That has come and gone. The next best opportunity to get rid of him won't come until we approach the trade deadline and his contract becomes an attractive target for a team looking to do a salary dump.
While I agree, I'm just afraid Pop will take another taste of the forbidden red fruit and go back to him. It's a risk that's going to be there as long as Matty ice is on the roster, tbh. Especially in games like last night when Pop is quick to give up on Splitter.
just get him outta here

I don't think they can use the amnesty right now. There's only certain periods where you can use it.
Plus I would rather the Spurs con some other team and gets something in return, a la Jax.
Knowing Pop and RC this is their thinking.
Come to think of it, the Spurs turned Bowen/Thomas/Oberto/Hill into Leonard/Jax.
