We will offer him a piece of the franchise after the 3/15 deal.

Bonner wants to keep playing for the Spurs

[dabom]

"I am going to try to play another year, hopefully, with the Spurs,” said Bonner, 36. “We’ll see what happens.”

Just who the does Bonner think he is? He doesn't play at all. He sits on the end of the bench collecting five figure paychecks for doing absolutely nothing. What a sweet gig.

He also gets some bad ass seats.

We're a great locker room presence. Uses just the right amount of starch

five figure? Minimum in the NBA is almost 600 K......

Maybe monthly or however they get paid.. lol..

I'm not totally surprised at Monroe rumours - I brought him up as a trade candidate. It might be tougher to move him than people think.

CAncerous right? Detroit got better without him and Milwaukee took a step back with him. Obviously both franchises had other roster changes but it's not a good sign for Monroe.

Agree.. not that the rest of the NBA players don't have a sweet gig too.

[szkorhetz]

People actually thinking Monroe would be a good fit with the Spurs.

It's not about fit, much more about a realistic target. How much better could we get compared to him? Realisticly, other than Durant, Conley?

This is probably a bull site, trying to get some love...

Spurs have to get younger, faster, taller and stronger in their back court. It's not about the names. Do that, and they'll be in good shape.

I don't see it happening; but Faried would give us what we need against OKC and GS in terms of toughness against Adams/Green.

Minority owner.

But he's white.

Take this for what it is. Jay Bilas saying SA trying to move up to 13 ( Suns).

Only thing that makes some sense is Tyson Chandler +13th pick for Diaw/Mills. Would be awesome if Spurs can get the 34th pick too.

Suns get to wipe TC's contract off their books and go after two big free agents this summer. Spurs get pricey, but defensive center they need and get the 13th pick.

Milos Teodosic interested in coming over to the NBA:

http://www.eurohoops.net/featured/26...ke-to-play-for

“Each player, whether he likes to admit it or not, has the desire to be in the NBA. To be part of it”, he said in the Serbian edition of VICE. “I think that the quality of the NBA has quite fallen in the last five to ten years, but it is still the best league in the world. And I still have the desire to try myself out there. Of course, not anywhere and not in any way. If I left Europe for the NBA, it would be only for a situation where I knew I’ll be there to play.”

When asked which club would be at the top of his preferences, Teodosic picked two teams for some very specific reasons. “The San Antonio Sprus, since it is a team that has developed a style close to the so called ‘European’ basketball. The plays have a lot of extra passes etc. Also the Utah Jazz. Their coach Quin Snyder is a former assistant to Ettore Messina (in 2012/2013 CSKA Moscow) and someone with a phenomenal at ude. He is a great man, one of the most promising coaches in USA right now. And he really knows me well. So I think I’d be a very good fit there, knowing him and his system of work. Also the composition of the Jazz is quite solid, they have a lot of young and athletic players”.

He played for Messina before and I'm sure that Boban will have nothing but good things to say about the Spurs. He's still "only" 29 years old and comes off the best season of his career which included winning the Euroleague.

His style of play is similar to Manu, great passer with a knack for crazy shots but also quite bad on defense. His shooting percentages this year have been very good: 47.9% FG%, 42.5% 3P% (with 5.38 3PA per game), 89.1% FT%.

The question is what kind of salary he would command. Right now he is one of the best paid players in Europe, so you can't expect him to over on a minimum deal like Boban did.
Here's an older article saying that it would take $3M+: http://basketball.realgm.com/wiretap...To-Come-To-NBA

Oh wow! I'm a big fan of Milos! He would be a great bench player for the Spurs

[TheGreatYacht]

Pretty good stats last season, bring him over. Anyone but Kyle at PG

Tyson Chandler on that contract?

UGH not no, but no.

[eDizzle20]

Tyson Chandler on that contract?

Agreed. No way the Spurs would take on that contract. If they did they could say goodbye to their KD pursuit.

[SPURt]

Tyson Chandler on that contract?

UGH not no, but no.

Taking on a craptastic contract like that is the only way the Spurs have any shot of grabbing a lottery pick with such limited trade assets available. I just hope whomever they're targeting makes a serious impact.

[Ice009]

No way would I be interested in Tyson Chandler with his current contract and age on top of that. No thanks at all.

Could be worth it. Especially if the Suns buyout Diaw and he turns around and re-signs with SA..

[MaNu4Tres]

Spurs could still sign Durant at the expense of Green/Anderson or Parker -- if TD/MG retire.

[MaNu4Tres]

UGH not no, but no.

You get the 13th, 34th and or Bogdanovic with it though. If TC flat out sucks, worse case, Spurs pay him his money which is only 10% of cap btw for 2 years and waive/spread his last year.
