Bonner FTW...
Bingo. Miller is clutch as . I see him going to OKC, but this guy would be a welcome addition to back up Kawhi.
Bonner FTW...
Don't hurt em' KawhiHopefully we'll be seeing some more of this in the WCF next season
Sign Mike Miller, and cut the useless, waste of roster space called Bonner.Mike Miller. Everytime I thought he was done he would drill another 3 on us with 1 shoe on. What a damn faker. Limping down the court with his bad back, only to spot up and perfectly hit a 3 pointer. And of course he would go to OKC...
Miller hit threes, back to back, missing a shoe, IN THE FINALS...
And got one of two offensive rebounds that BEAT the Spurs..
Bonner couldn't hit a three in the playoffs or finals if the Spurs paid him to do it (which in fact they are, idiots);
Even if Miller only plays in the playoffs...

he played in the WC before, he was a non-en y now suddenly he is good enough for us because he was with the team who beat us?
I'd rather have Neal who knows the system than Miller
Someone who can score 20+ points in the regular season, and shoot 5/5 from the three point line in an NBA finals game isn't exactly as "done as Mcgrady".
Miller is done. You can't rely on him in the regular season at all. OKC is grasping at straws at this point because they know they messed up with Harden and they need someone off the bench who can score. Even if its a guy with a bad back.
If Miller ends up in OKC or any Western contender, that would be scary.
It looks like Spurs are interested in everyone....
I meant Bonner's contract, not Miller's (vet's min). Sorry about that
Did any of you who think Mike Miller is done watch the Finals?
Damn...
Funny to see people saying Miller is 'done.' Has anyone watched Manu Ginobili? I'd rather have Miller than Bonner out there, that's for sure.
Sadly it's a double standard! Whats funny is non Spurs homers or Manu homers you talk to think Manu is done, but his fans act like he is worth 7 a year and still in the game very much! Some need to take off the glasses and see reality. Miller is not DONE, can still shoot the ball like crazy from outside.
True that. Unfortunately Manu IS done and anyone who doesn't believe that didn't watch last season and playoffs objectively. True he can have a pearl of a game sometimes, but it is fools gold. Miller has some health issues but he is still effective.
Comparing Manu to Miller is silly. I'm not defending the contract, but whether we like it or not, loyalty counts with this franchise. This is a business and there's way more ticket buyers who want to see Ginobili on the team (STers notwithstanding) than not. Of course he's paid more than his production warrants but he was going to finish his career with the Spurs. I don't think there's any precedent for a former all star re-signing at a 75% pay cut. Though I don't agree, I think the organization would rather get to the Finals and lose with Ginobili than win the Finals without him.
As for Miller, I did watch him hit several wide open 3's in the Finals. However the Spurs didn't lose that series because guys were missing wide open 3's. They lost it because Pop benched Duncan, no one could hit 2 back to back free throws down the stretch, and no one besides Tim and Kawhi could reliably create their own shot or create an opportunity for others. I don't see how Miller helps solve that problem, and putting him on the team puts one more godawful defender on the floor for stretches of time.

Miller's contemplated retirement for three years now.
Miller still has 2-3 playing years left on him, IMO. Perhaps 4 if he undergoes a successful back surgery and a thorough rehab. I know his current age may have most people categorize him as "old and done" but it's not like he has to do a heavy lifting ala starplayer for his team. He, obviously, can still fill that shooter/space-creator role and more importantly, a proven playoff performer. That's why teams, including the Spurs, show interest in him. I bet Miami would prefer to have him for another championship run if not for their team hitting the punitive luxury tax.
But just like what others here are pointing out, bringing Miller in doesn't seem like the answer to what the Spurs currently needs, which are backup SF & big and a playmaker. But definitely, Miller still has few years left on him.
1/10 bad back do not want
The same people that say he's done are the same ones that complain "Pop doesnt play Baynes or McGrady!!"
If he comes, he'll contribute. period.
This. Bad back past 30 generally means play "taps" on the career.
The problem is we didn't attack Miller's defense enough.
last time we we had a guy with a bad back his career ended right on our home floor with a simple bump (TJ Ford)
And before that it caused DRob to retire.
