My sources inside the Raptors and other organizations are telling me Bonner will be gone by Sunday
Doubt these sources exist, but you better be right
Mr. Bonner broke the news to me at a nearby H-E-B Plus. We were in the bakery section where he was analyzing how fresh their bread really was. He seemed happy, must be expecting another role within the organization, I dunno ... shouldve asked.
Russ Johnson via Twitter:
The Spurs are deciding between Rasual Butler and Matt Bonner on who to waive, a league source said. Butler is more likely to be waived soon.
Much love for Coach B, but I'd rather have Lee Daniels' on the floor than him.
I'll put money on it being Rasual Butler
That would be a dog of a move waiving Butler. He's contributed everything he can this season for the Spurs when he's gotten a chance, and Bonner has contributed nothing this season. Bonner wasn't any good last season either. This is getting a bit silly if they're still going to keep him on the roster.
If he could still contribute in a potential playoff game or series, I wouldn't have a problem with it, but I'm not sure Bonner has anything of value left to give the Spurs. What do you guys think? It's all about the playoffs to me and who the Spurs think would contribute more. That's the guy that you keep.
Did he drop any molasses?
If it's not Bonner I'm going to scream. Yeah we all know he's a great guy, but enough is enough.
This exactly. IF this was Bonner from a few years ago you could use in spot duty to pull plodding bigs out of the paint. But these days, he's got no use on the playoff roster.
Cutting Butler would send the wrong message to future vets who sign here for a ring and bust their ass, only to get cut for a longtime Spur way past his prime.
Who'll handout the towels during timeouts now?
You do realize that Russ is just TSpence with more followers.
you Splits. Getting my hopes up.
what kind of idiot would believe Butler will be waived before Boner
bonner has been collecting free checks for too long
I really like Matt but he has hardly played this year. Simmons has taken Bonners minutes and Butler
has played more lately than Matt. Its stated that Matt has a on again off again calf problem but
I think it was just a matter of time till the numbers caught up with fan favorite Matt. Good
luck to Matt , I hear Subway has a opening for a spokesman.
What the duck I didn't know we landed Kevin martin!!
Such an unspursesque move still to waive a guy lime Rasual.
This is probably coming back to haunt it's. Bad bad move
I don't want to see Butler waived. I like Simmons but he hasn't played, nor is he going to with K.Mart here. If the Spurs are still high on his potential they will keep him but he's not ready for the postseason. He's looked like doggie dodo when asked to play as a real SG. He's 26. Athleticism is all there is to it really. I definitely do not want Butler gone. I may whine for a while every time Martin messes up defensively. Butler has been too solid.
Wahhhh, wahhh.
Yeah, I agree with the take on Simmons. I've seen enough to realize that he probably won't be able to get any court time in the playoffs. His contract is so cheap though and great value. Another team will pick him up if he's waived. You just can't let him go without giving him more of a chance next season to see if he can grow more. Butler was the guy that I was expecting to get all of Simmons' minutes in the playoffs and possibly some of Anderson's too. Butler has given the Spurs everything he can anytime that he's been given a chance. I really don't want to see him go either. I know balance with big men and guards wouldn't be there if they waived Bonner, but I just don't think Bonner has anything left, so I think he should be the one to be waived.
Agree. If anyone should be waived besides the ginger got. It's Simmons. He's too one dimensional and gets torched on D.
Butler is the truth and he's long
No brainer....Matt Bonner
Funny, because I did mention to him that a lot of Spurs fans have spotted several members on the team in that aisle. He replied that it was on Kyle's grocery list this season, tbh.
I agree, Butler has been terrific this season
