There have been no wiser words in the history of mankind tbh.
Bonner's the new Tiago.
the second team could be:
Diaw and West
Kyle
then Miller and Martin
with JSimmons and Marjanovic as backups
wow

bye bye bonner my love
Get K Martin!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Expecting to hear about this guy sometime today. I hope we get him.
Bonner might get cut? Finally! How exciting.
playoff eligibility deadline is march 1st if i'm not mistaken. so we won't be wondering about this for long.
Yep, I believe the deadline is 5 EST tomorrow.
If this still ends up happening, the best we can hope is that Manu is still coming back and will be fully recovered. However, the reality is that Martin could be Manu insurance. There's also no way Bonner is getting cut over Butler. All this time he's been a Spur only to get cut at this point? Nope.
So did we sign Kevin freaking Martin yet ?
No he has not been bought out by the Timberwolves
Bonner is injured AND done. I was surprised Ray was cut instead. If Martin is signed and anyone else but Bonner is cut, I'm officially joining the SpurPadre hate club.
He hasn't even been bought out yet. Latest rumors are that the Mavs and Knicks are also pushing.

It's the end of the line for Bonner, he has barely played. Spurs need Butler for small ball duties.
Players have to be bought out or cut by March 1st, but there is no deadline for when they have to sign.
Still, players will generally sign right away to gain familiarity with their new teammtes, etc.
This, Bonner can be back in the fold after the NBA Finals. This is business.
WTF? K-Mart is no Manu insurance. That would be Andre. K-Mart isn't a ball handler but a shooter.
good catch, i thought there was for some reason. i looked it up:Players are eligible to be on a team's playoff roster provided they were on the team for at least one regular season game, and were not on another NBA team's roster after March 1.
True, I was inferring it yesterday but what I really mean is that Miller and Martin combined are Manu insurance, in theory. In theory, Miller would make up for the distribution and ball handling while Martin would provide the shooting Manu offered. I hope getting them and Manu coming back are within the realm of possibility, of course.
Mavs basically pursue every washed up player under 35
There's no such thing as Manu insurance. Without Manu, the Spurs have no shot at a championship. The corpse of Andre Miller isn't going to change that.
Martin would be a Ginobili replacement, in the sense of being a more viable third wing option/shooter than the current options.
He'd also allow them to play small ball easier and against the Warriors, if worse comes to worst and Mills becomes unplayable, he could take his spot in the rotation.
We don't have the luxury of choosing a proper Manu insurance if there's a worst-case scenario of him being out...but PATFO have to do something in such a case and getting both players would be a used up Band-Aid, but a Band-Aid nevertheless. Now if Manu comes back and is 100% and we still get Martin, we'll be a better team.There's no such thing as Manu insurance. Without Manu, the Spurs have no shot at a championship.

Why would you cut Anderson or Simmons? It will most likely be Bonner, maybe Butler, but never Anderson or Simmons.
The guy is a total moron. Anderson in his last 6 games played over 28 minutes in 4 games and around 20 in the other two. Obviously he's doing something right while on the court.
Bonner is most likely the one cut since he hasn't played much, the front line has 5 other players, Butler is likely to be kept because of his greater mobility and size and finally you aren't cutting developmental players like Simmons or Anderson. Oh there's of course Boban, I wouldn't want him cut although he hasn't played much lately.
