I'm sure thats why pop has been quoted saying Scola in a rockets uniform makes him want to " puke".
Well there you go.I understand Scola was used to get Butler's contract off the books.That decision was already made by the collective bargaining agreement.But I dont understand how we resigned Bonner for 9-10 million over 3 years and how we couldn't figure out a way to bring Scola in silver and black when he asked for Bonner money.
I'm sure thats why pop has been quoted saying Scola in a rockets uniform makes him want to " puke".
this scola thing is discussed to death
do a search it has been discussed to death
MOVE ON
I'm sure Pop doesn't like personell decisions that are based solely on money.
....and it made him want to spit, not puke.
Bonner could step in and start for the Spurs in a pinch at the 4. To have that kind of insurance even if he isn't always in rhythm when he plays his bit minutes, is well worth the salary he is being paid. Bonner is not overpaid.
Well ducks is saying Scola wouldn't have fit and how he wouldn't find minutes, but Pop's quotes have said otherwise.
If only Bonner was 25% more athletic and had much quicker judgment on the court.
He CAN ball. We all saw that when they played the Warriors in December.
And?
It's all academic.
What should the Spurs do now?
All in all our FO has made small piss poor decisions with Butler, Bonner, and Scola. That still isn't going to make or break the team. Duncan, Manu and Parkers health is the key. Adding Maggette/ Delfino and resigning Kurt would subside all this talk im sure.
No, it will never stop people's ing here. They could sign LeBron for the minimum and folks would still complain about Matt Bonner.
Probably won't because giving Bonner 9-10 million is a joke.
obviously i would like to trade him too, but he really hasnt had a chance to really prove himself.
See, you'll never stop ing.
This is your life.

Bonner can be a 7 and 3 guy off the bench..........for a lottery team.
Not really, which my post count indicates.
Now what percentage of those posts have been spent ing about Bonner?
![]()
4 percent or so now and its climbing. Perhaps I could break into 5 percent in the next 30 minutes. Regardless of my opinions on the ginger, his contract isn't going to prevent us from doing anything from here on out. Even though he is still overpaid in my view.
Matt Bonner is a good role player. How is a guy supposed to contribute when he gets no minutes. When he filled in for Duncan when TD was injured he did a decent job. At least he brings something to the table like his 3pt shooting and the ability to stretch the floor unlike Vaunghn who gets minutes still puts up garbage. Look what happend to Udrih when he got minutes at the Kings. If the Spurs arent going to play the Red Rocket then trade him. But he will be a handy player if gets minutes and Horry doesn't resign with our aging team.
trade him for Richard Donner. Maybe he can make some good Spurs films.

...because Bonner's 3M is the reason they spurs lost to the lakers and should be a top priority
Spurs have bigger fish to fry
One thing I've never understood is the whole "Scola Thread!!!" business. Is it really that hard to admit that the Spurs FO really ed one up badly? Does SpurFan really have Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf Syndrome? Why can't SpurFan admit that this was a MAJOR up?
Or, is there a serious willingness to argue that Matt Bonner is a better fit, at the price of his contract, than Luis Scola is. If there is such an argument, I'd love to hear it.
Nah, it's Chinatown.
And it's done.
What does ing about it accomplish?
What can be accomplished? What can you or I accomplish?
All the people ing about 3 years/9-10 mil are just as pathetic as those thinking Scola wouldn't have made this team better.
I don't understand what being delusional about an awful deal for the Spurs accomplishes ... so I'm open to suggestions. What does blind acceptance of the status quo accomplish?
