Matt Bonner Back For More: One-Year, Minimum Deal

[Mugen]

Bonner is the Ibaka Killer... absolutely needed to be signed.

The Spurs signed two other Ibaka killers that are better tbh.

[capek]

He'll be useful to soak up minutes in the many blowouts the Spurs should have next season. Glad he's back.

[Aztecfan03]

I thought it was earlier reported that West was on a one year contract?

Well... final roster :

Parker/Mills/McCallum
Green/Ginobili/Simmons
Leonard/Anderson
Aldridge/Diaw/West
Duncan/Marjanovic/Bonner

I guess Copeland didn't sign.

I think it was, plus what sense would it make for him to have a player option at the minimum.

Spurs still have 1 spot open.

[Ocotillo]

Lalanne should go over to Europe and sign with the same team LJC is on.

[spursistan]

Still not totally comfortable with the wing depth, tbh.. only Green you can count on for 77-80 games.. old Manu; injury-prone Kawhi and bunch of unproven and unpolished guys..

[Brox6]

He is back

[TheGoldStandard]

This fool is going to eat minutes away from boban.

[SquawkinHawkBigCock]

I think that Boban guy has eaten enough.

[TheCerebral1]

Ugh. God, cannot be just at times.

[BackHome]

Only reason I like this is we got so many new guys we need help coaching them up which is where I think Bonner can help. He just need to help them with there defense assignments and offense assignment where to be on the court - "Ok you go there and defend there just don't defend like me" " "Ok go there and shoot but don't do what I do and miss" But it's good to have him he and Mills are the glue to the team being close.....Need good locker room guys it's a long season.....

[ElNono]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Ah well, I guess there's no such thing as a perfect situation. Still a great offseason.

[lefty20]

at ppl being mad at having Bonner as the sixth big. You s need to stop hating, tbh.

[TheGoldStandard]

Funny at the moment till pop subs him in for Aldridge or west at the wrong time

[MR.SILVER&BLack]

I'm happy he is back. I thought the Bonner saga ended but hes back for his 3rd ring. He was too much of a fan favorite to not try to bring back. I guess our off season is over unless they can get someone better then Reggie Williams.

[heyheymymy]

You guy that are complaining are noobs. Bonner is a matchup nightmare in certain situations and now that we have him as a 6th big he won't be used in key mins or paired with Blair where he was a poor fit before.

Bonner is a tipping point player were opponents are going to gameplan for everything else and then Matty trots out and the compe ion gets flustered having to account for one more in a long line of different looks Pop will make them adjust to.

Imagine gameplanning for the top 10 players, and it being almost too many adjustments to manage and then the stretch 4 trots out after your plate is full with everything else. Bonner doesn't even have to hit, you must honor his range, and now the paint is open for business.

[DJR210]

I get it, they need shooters.. but the guy can't shoot anymore.

inb4 some jackass say's " he shot nearly 40% ", for one he's coming off his second worst 3 PT% of his career, and for a guy who does absolutely nothing but fire away 3's, he should be shooting at least 55% to truly be effective for the Spurs

Now he takes away minutes and a spot from someone younger. Stupid signing IMO.

[RayTdropout]

Hes family welcome back.

[TheGreatYacht]

Why do people give Bonner the credit for the OKC game?!?! is the memory that bad?

This. Forgot the part where the er passes up open shots, and his shot isn't respected anymore though.

Yeah, he likes the pump fake and ty awkward drive more now. One more ing year of his bull .

[DrunkTXLabrat]

Doesn't this signing potentially stunt the growth of some of the other young up and comers we have that could've benefited from being in the roster and learning the system directly from Pop and practicing with the rest of the team? And don't we have enough players that can space the floor, thus making Bonner redundant?

they'll never "get it"

[beirmeistr]

My sources tell me that Bonner will also back up The Coyote.

[NASpurs]

Is it safe to assume Bonner took a pay cut to resign with the Spurs instead of the Kings?

Yeah. Sacramento was offering a 3 year/26 million dollar deal, starting spot, a no trade clause, and part ownership in the team with tons of incentives.

such loyalty
