Bring him back for the minimum. Still a good 12th man. Pop finally learned how to utilize him. Bonner is good relief in the regular season but don't develop a reliance on him.
Are we still acting like the 12th-ish guy on the roster - who averaged 11 minutes a game (mostly garbage time) and had 21 DNP-CDs is some sort of anchor to the system? For the role he's asked to play, he's as good as there is at playing that role. He makes, and will make, an amount of money that won't bother the cap at all, is a great lockerroom guy, and knows the system inside and out. Who better fills his role for the same price?
he was worth every penny and the Spurs better re-sign him
I can't believe these words are coming out of my mouth. It might just still be the championship hangover, but...
I'll be sad when the Red Mamba leaves.
I don't think another team is going to throw big money at him, but he will probably see a few offers. I personally wouldn't mind bringing him back for the minimum for another run.
The hate on bonner was only because pop played him too many minutes back when the spurs didnt have a lot of options
I don't think I ever hated Bonner. I hated the need to use him and Pop's love affair with him years ago, but that's when the roster sucked. He's a good guy and especially as a deep bench player he provides an excellent skill set. Helped vs. OKC and could very well again.
Bonner - 2
James - 2
Just sayin'
LOL!!!
He spreads the floor.
Never disliked Bonner he is what he is, I just hated how much Pop would think he was. I would welcome the idea of having Bonner back if he gets used how he was this last season. I got to say that was a perfect roll for him. However a part of me still has the worry that Pop will allways be tempted with him on the roster lol
However should the Spurs maybe look more at a youth movement to develop like bringing in Davis Bertans, or would that be still to soon?
Since Ayres joined, I no longer want to see the ol' sport leave
Bonner will be back for vet min..
Which is oxymoronic, really. If Pop didn't have many options he was bound to try them all. He had to choose something. The blame there should rest more on the front office, though it isn't certain that they could have brought in anyone better.
Least bat insane thread OP has posted in literally months.
Which isn't really saying much.
Last two years he has given some nice playoff minutes. Especially last year going against Gasol and Howard when Diaw was out in the first round.
First thing is to sign Diaw and Mills and then worry about everyone else.
Also his quality blogging and youtube videos. For salary that would acommadate the return of more important basketball priority players (mills, Diaw) he can provide good value. As mentioned he also seems like a good coaching staff candidate next to marks.he relates well and is a high iq guy
He's actually pretty good in spot minutes. That's the way he should have always been used. There was never a reason to overplay him.
Thank god
give him the veteran minimum and the difference (from the $4 mil he made this year) to mills
I thought he was destined for the FO.
one of the best glue guys on the team along with Mills, plus he's been underrated the past couple years. before that he was just good in the RS.
It seems like he loves it here, and he's well liked within the organization, so hopefully they can keep him around for the right price.
I'm not a fan of Bonner, but for the min I'd be good with that.
