    Novak disappeared in the playoffs. We don't need two white guys that shoot threes in the season and disappear in the playoffs.

    Bonner spreads the floor more than Novak does. Novak draws out the other team's SF who is probably already around the 3 point line, whereas Bonner is drawing out another team's big, making more room in the lane for pick and roll with Tiago
    Good point.

    What big man? Any guard can guard Bonner. If there's anyone near him, he can't get his weird shot off. Novak, at least, has a very, very quick release so even when someone's flying at him, he can get his shot off. And is it possible for anyone to choke more than Bonner in the playoffs. Novak, at least, hasn't had as much chance to choke as Bonner. And playing Bonner keeps Pop from playing someone who can defend the rim/paint. Playing Novak would just mean the opposing SF is near the 3pt line.

    Yikes. Does anyone actually not understand this? You can't play no D and no boards in the Spurs system. There is a light year of difference between Novak and Bonner in this aspect.

    Yes, what we need is a second version of Bonner that is even more Charmin soft.

    an opposing SF is going to be at the 3 point line anyway. take the spurs. whether we have kawhi or jax at the 3, the other team's SF will be at the 3 point line anyway. and while you say "any guard can defend bonner" when you watch spurs games, you don't usually see a guard defending bonner, do you? no. you usually see a team's power forward on him. keyword: usually. sure there are some lineups here and there where maybe a small forward is on him, but he does space the floor more than novak does for the simple fact that the guy who is defending Novak would be at the 3 point line ANYWAY whereas the dude guarding bonner probably prefers defending near the paint

    I daresay we don't need any.

    Why did we let him walk again?
    Because he wasn't good enough to keep.

    Any other questions?

    As much as I dislike Bonner's limited athleticism and porous defense, in comparison Novak makes Bonner look like Leonard "Truck" Robinson.

    He may not defend but he has also a higher and way quicker release that makes him 100X harder to guard while Bonner can be guarded by any PG with his slow shot coming from the waist and if Bonner doesn't shoot the 3 he puts the ball on the floor and s up the possession. I think Bonner may be a tiny bit better overall as a fifth big but it's a close call.

    Yeah, until the playoffs when you can throw a PG out there on Bonner and he will still miss the shot lol.

    I would not trust either one of them on the team in the playoffs, would like them both not on the roster come that time if you are being real.
