I would imagine there's a good chance Bonner will be back, though his minutes may dwindle even further as the season progresses and the new editions become more comfortable in their roles.
With Simmons on board does this eliminate Bonner from the roster for next season?

Bonner is a roach, you can drop a nuke and he will still be there the next day.
i hope Matt returns in some capacity
he really is a good guy
We don't know. The roster is at 13 players with 5 bigs. They carried 6 last year.
I think it means that Ayres is gone, assuming that Bonner would have the edge over Ayres, since Bonner at least has one unique skill among the big men.
Being a ginger?
Sexual relations with Pop?
Re-signing Bonner is a tough decision for Spurs. With the tax it will cost $2.4M to have him and it should put Spurs at 15 guaranteed contract (from what RC said, Spurs will add a vet wing). I'm not sure Spurs will do it especially if Lalanne doesn't want to go in Europe and show promises at the Vegas SL.
Bonner will most likely be on the team but will spend alot of time in a suit behind the bench. Also unless he really impresses in TC and preseason, their is a chance Simmons might not be on the roster for the 1st regular season game.
The can sign Bonner later in the year if they need him.
Seriously, make him Sean Marks' assistant up in the front office. But keep him on a health and conditioning program though and work him out in the gym to keep his shot going. If they need him mid-season just change his job le and sign him to the roster instead of the front office.
Why the do any of you think Bonner would be good as an assistant coach or in the front office?
How to be another minutes stealing playoff losing schmuck?
Duncan Marjonovic (Ayers) Aldridge West Diaw (Bonner) Leonard Anderson (Williams) Green Ginobili Simmons Parker Mills McCallum (Bertans)
Italics - My best guess is these guys will be on the opening day roster.
Parenthesis - My best guess is these guys are on the fringe.
At this point, I'd guess Bonner would make the roster. But there could be a signing or two that pushes him out.
Maybe pop finally got sick of his goofy ass
Don;t think he will come back as a Player.
Because he's a smart dude...
Uh, Duncan will be cut before Bonner is.
Yeah, I don't see Bonner back with the bigman depth this team has and with such a gaping hole at the backup 3, especially like you said, with Bonner costing $1.4 million and then $1.4 million of luxury tax. I vaguely recall hearing the NBA pays part of a 10 year minimum deal though? Or they did in a previous CBA? Is that where the $2.4 million figure comes from?
The real question should be is Ayres gone?
I just want some confirmation that i'll never have to worry about him ever again.
Pop can move diaw to the 3 and have bonner as a 4.
Bonner's last assignment should be to load Kyle Anderson in his Chevy Impala and take him for a long, long ride away from San Antonio.
Hey Matt, tell me 'bout the rabbits again.
Truth
If Bonner signs a 1 year min contract, he will be paid $1,499,187 but Spurs will only pay him $947,276 with he rest being paid by the league. He will also count for $947K against the tax.
The current luxury tax isn't a dollar for dollar tax. The tax rates raises for the farthest teams are above the threshold. A team will also pay more luxury tax if they have paid 3+ times in the 4 previous years. In Spurs case, they will pay the lowest tax rate possible (less than $5M above the threshold and not a repeater taxpayer). This rate is $1.5 for $1. Bonner will cost $947K * 2.5 which is about $2.4M.
Assistant maybe??? As a player though last year he looked done imo.
