cd021 "Bonner is a scrub...right. His play during the 1st round vs Dwigt and the Lakers and the WCF against ZBo and Grizzles certainly don't make him a scrub. Pop had faith in what Bonner could do and he put together a pair of strong series. Actually watch him play and you can tell he actually is a good defender (especially in the post) and seldom is late in weakside rotations. Against Dwight and ZBo Pop d his setting screens and forcing ZBO and Dwight way out of the paint. He is good and for the money we have paid him, he had been money well spent."

So you are bragging about one series in how many years have these 2 scrubs been on the team?? These 2 dong bags have been sucking it up for years.. Did you just become a spurs fan in round one?? You have lower expectations .

Wuz these supposed to be in blu?

This just me but I have the gut feeling that the main reason why the FO has failed to acquire Trevor Ariza (if they even tried doing so) is because of Pop’s refusal to get rid of Matt Bonner. If Dejuan Blair is signed for a $3M contract and then package him with Matt Bonner in a S&T then the numbers would match for the trade to go through.

I mean just think about it, the reports said that the Wizards were interested in Dejuan Blair and another big that would spread the floor, then Matt Bonner fits the bill. Matt Bonner is the main reason why no trades with the Wizards have occurred. Either that or the FO is stupid and stingy enough not to be interested in Trevor Ariza’s $7M contract. That’s just my opinion.

Yes good chance FO thinks Bonner > Ariza but the folly there is no way I can see that being true against Miami small ball. If we are not scheming for that rematch at all, we are effing up which I think is the majority opinion. Any incoming player who could stay on the floor against Miami for us would be a great excuse to unload Bonner, especially a "long 3" that can defend and hit the corner 3. Perhaps Ariza is just not on the table at all though?

Have been a spurs fan for the past 8 seasons.

First he is a role player and expecting much more than he provides in the post season is just stupid.He plays his role and gets paid accordingly. Any stat ,advanced or not , will back that up. If the Spurs were to cut him absolutely every team with post season hopes would attempt to sign him ,Memphis, Miami, Clippers, & Denver in particular, should be interested. You're talking about a guy who since he's been in San Antonio has hit nearly 8% better than the league average from 3 ( that dates back to the 06-07 season, 7 years) he clearly is an above average role player.


Second Blair actually had a much higher P.E.R his first two seasons that Kawhi just had. He at no point has ever been a scrub with the Spurs. Its funny you seem to be a novice at following basketball yet you accuse me

Marc Stein @ESPNSteinLine
Surprise development in Mavs' big man search: Hearing Dallas in serious talks on signing DeJuan Blair. Told deal looks "promising"

[xmas1997]

Not the Mavs! That would be ironic!

[bklynspursfan]

That's why he said payback??

Works out for the Mavs he replaces Elton Brand. They're like twins

But will he get what he is asking for? I thought the Mavs could only pay the vet minimum.

Yea I don't know what he can get. Maybe he feels it's a slap in the face to the Spurs by going to the Mavs? Or maybe he didn't want to be help SA be part of a S&T so that's his payback?

[loveforthegame]

How is that payback if he goes to the Mavs?

[Spur|n|Austin]

it's not, he seems to be trying to justify the situation. Adios DB, and playblair.
