Putting up numbers in a 20 point loss, tbh. Green showed signs, but even with his improvement he wouldn't crack the Spurs rotation. He's just another of a long line of guys who can't make it as Spurs who can play for bad teams.
IN' BONNER!!!!!!!

Not that I am lamenting his loss, but he has played well even when they have been winning without Gasol.
I really thought Ayers should have been waived and this guy would have helped last season. Consider all the minutes that went in the drain bc Tiago got injured and you needed to play and start Matt Bonner, when he was not shooting like he is this season, and needed minute s from Baynes at PF. There are at least a couple of games this guy might have swung our way. That was enough for a higher seeding.
I wasn't delusional projecting him to be a star or anything but he had solid roleplayer potential. Daye and Ayers were your guys to waive and this guy looked better than th from SL through preseason. Heck J.Green had a more dominant dleague stint that the one Ayers had b4 he was picked up by the Grizz.
Nothing but ashes by now, but I made his church thread..
Matt Bonner and any vanilla fan who love em
I'm pretty sure he could have played for us, given that I'm pretty sure we offered him a contract and he turned it down.
If Green is one of the select few to make it into the NBA and stick around a while, then I'll be super happy for him.
Jeff Ayres played for us.
I liked him a lot, and I wanted us to keep him. But Scola was the one that got away, tbh.
This.
Bonner had nothing to do with it. It was all about maximizing cap space to pursue a max free agent. Green wanted guaranteed money for 2015-16. The Spurs wouldn't give that to him. Memphis did.
Without a couple of pieces of evidence, I'm gonna call bull on that. The Spurs had a loaded roster and he didn't make the cut. The chances he was given he did little to show that he was anything more than a big athletic frame.
Nonetheless.
True. When they were on the same summer league team, Ayres was better, and that only got him the 15th spot on the roster.
Looked it up. He got a 10 day contract and played a few games. He didn't stick. You're partially right that they did offer him a contract. I think he took Daye's spot.
^^
This is the reason he's not here. It wasn't at all that he wasn't wanted, or that he couldn't play like other points out.
I am happy for him that even though he's on another team, his time and effort through Austin served him well.. He did well to persevere and get his contract. He also got his chance to show his game. Time on the Spurs was available last season bc of the Tiago injury and Ayers being such a poor option, but this season it's cramped.
I'm aware of that but BONNER!
Well, not that it matters, but that's being fully right. Not partially. He could have played here. He was offered a full contract after his ten day, and he balked at it. He chose not to play here, but could have. Was asked to.
Dude is killing it for my fantasy team. 46 points two days ago and 35 tonight? SA-WEET!
Being offered a contract =/= being offered PT. The money was the same, so he picked the bad team in order to play.
He's doing well - I don't get the narrative that he's a scrub putting up numbers on a bad team. They are a playoff team. In the West. I guess if you are a Spurs fan, everyone other team sucks? Most teams it's a big deal to be a playoff team for several years in a row.
Sure. I'll take the loss. Semantics. He could have sat the bench for all 82 games and the playoffs. If that's what you believe would have happened. Otherwise, even if he clocks in once, he would have "played". But, this is not the sort of conversation that I wanted to be in. Pretty bushed. So, what we''ve established is that I'm wrong. Green was offered a full contract to not play. Got it.
The league/dleague is filled with Spurs washouts, what's your point
Alonzo Gee
Garrett Temple
CoJo
Beno
Errors
Steve Novak
Nazr Mohammed
to name a few. Who cares they all suck
Actually, it does matter, and you weren't right at all. I was just trying to be nice. Doubt that's gonna happen again. In truth, they signed him to a 10 day, and then they waived him. Highly unlikely that he chose not to play with the Spurs and instead went to Austin.
