This is worse than game 6 !
Yeah thats great, 4 million bro! 4 MILLION for a guy who did not even play in the damn finals! Think about that.I know many of you like to make of "he spreads the floor," but seriously, a 6'10" forward who shoots .417 from the three for his career (.457, .420, .442 his last three seasons) ... that's VERY valuable. Some of you are so focused on what he can't do that you're forgetting about what he can.

you know, i would be really damn impressed with Holt if they actually did this in order to use the amnesty to save 1 million on the cap. now i know there is (roughly speaking) a negative probability of that happening, but i'm always the optimist
Bbbbonner
I bet that if there is a deal that is too good to pass up that RC had the greenlight to amnesty him to create 4m in space. Other than that he stays and I'm ok with it. He played a good role in the Lakers and Memphis series. Their bigs had to honor him even if the shots weren't always fallin and his fronting D wasn't half bad. You need him in the west.
I believe the plan is wait to see how FA works out. The Spurs probably have their eye on (assuming things for Tiago and Manu go well) some players and if they feel they can get them, they will then amnesty Bonner freeing up the proper cap space. They don't likely want to amnesty/waive him before they know for sure because they still value him overall and/or could also use him as a valuable trade asset (shooter + expiring contract) if FA does not go well.
Every year billions of people want the Spurs blown up. I sometimes think this is really a bunch of Mark Cuban fans.
Makes sense. Remember, they were ready to use the amnesty provision on Jefferson if Butler signed with the Spurs. They could easily do the same with Bonner if a player they like signs with them.
It's far from sure that Bonner will be here next season. If Spurs are looking to get as much cap space as possible, amnestying is the way to go. An amnesty will free up $1M more in cap space than Spurs having him just cut yesterday.
Using the amnesty clause on Bonner might cost $3M more than having him waived but:
- Spurs and Bonner could have agreed to push the deadline of his guarantee by a couple of weeks to make an amnesty without Spurs having to pay the whole salary possible.
- Even if Bonner Salary is fully guaranteed, an amnesty could cost less than $3M more if a team claim Bonner for a part of his contract.
We will start to have an answer if Bonner being amnestied is a possibility..
If Spurs are going after premium free agents (Al Jefferson, Kirilenko, Millsap, Josh Smith, Iguodala...), it means a Bonner amnesty is possible.
If Spurs are going after free agents projecting to cost less than the MLE, then Bonner likely won't be amnestied.
Thanks for that insight, Bruno.
I'm not good with the financial aspect of basketball.
Just another Pop up - nothing new. The dementia continues....
I hate Bonner, TBH.
But in this PO, he played good D and grabbed contested boards. What else can we want?
YEAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH
There better be a better plan in the works here than simply bringing him back.
Four million for a big who can't even get on the floor in the Finals is just stupid.

Bonner allready fuking up our offseason...
Why did the Spurs do a draft and stash to save money if they are just turning around and blowing 4 mil on Bonner?
Pop - the gift that keeps on giving...
Bonner
Bonner = X-Factor 2013/2014
Bonner = Honorary Canadian
Bonner = International Intelligence
You people have been planning Bonners departure from the spurs for about 3 seasons now. Time to go get a sub and watch him ride off into the sunset after the 2013-2014 season.
There needs to be a stupid enough team who'll take Bonner off our hands for some draft picks or a solid player.
all yal. I like Bonner on the team. Just not for extended mins. He's funny to watch playing defense, run, everything.
Stop making these threads. Bonner is going to be a Spur for life. He's like Pop's adopted son.
So when are we going have the retiring Bonner's jersey up in the rafters ceremony?
