Did the Spurs sign Malcolm Thomas to replace Matt Bonner?

[Gagnrath]

Bonner's 3pt shooting versus M. Thomas is a little bit like comparing a souped up mustang to a a McClaren F1. Something that has been recently added and is of dubious certainty and long term value versus something that has led the highest rank compe ion in the world.

Dude's 3m salary is some nice trading asset to work with, while the other players are either indispensable (Tim/Manu/TP) or too cheap (Kawhi). Pack him with Danny green and trade them for a hardcore defensive big like Reggie Evans, that's exactly what I would do if I were pop tbh.

We just recently got rid of one ball grabber (RJ), we don't need another. Besides, Reggie Evans ing blows, he's only good at rebounding. And pinching scrotum

Spurs have always look at bigmen able to shoot 3's. In the recent years there has been: Austin Croshere, Anthony Tolliver, Marcus Haislip, Steve Novak, Bobby Simmons and Boris Diaw. Bigmen able to shoot 3's help the offense.

Now, regarding Bonner, you had to notice how little he is playing this year. He has played 187 minutes while Ayres is at 269 minutes and Diaw at 490 minutes. I'm not sure exactly what are the reason(s) behind that but it's noteworthy.

I think he is destined for the Spurs FO, IMHO.

I'm sure Pop/Spurs will offer him some kind of job after his playing career either in the FO or the coaching staff. However, it doesn't mean that he will end his playing career with Spurs. Sean Marks or Ime Udoka played elsewhere before coming back to Spurs when they were done on the court.

What can we do to get Paul George back?

[wildchild]

Like other guys said here, the team need to have a perimeter shooting big. If we don't have a big who can knock down shots, teams can much more easily double Duncan. There is the only one reason why Bonner stays.
I think the injuries will give Malcolm the opportunity to earn minutes, but I don't see Pop expanding the rotation to include another PF with Diaw, Ayres and Bonner ahead of him.

"....and after Matt Bonner sunk his 2nd 3 pointer Saturday night in Utah, he looked to Thomas who was on the bench in black attire, while making a subtle slit of the throat gesture and told him that his outfit was fitting seeing as though it was his funeral."
