You're talking about a team that just gave John Salmons a contract starting at the full MLE.
Nah, I'm pretty sure the Spurs won't get Bonzi either.

i sure as hope this is a rumor ...bonzi + spurs = very scary
Salmons can play 3 positions and when Iverson was out for 10 games he averaged 14 points 6 assists and 5 boards..
I rather give that contract to John Salmons who can play on both sides of the floor, is young, will show up for 82 straight games, team player, and is not such a hot head.
Instead of giving more than the MLE to Wells.
Has Bill Ingram ever been right about anything?![]()
I just don't know why he is doing Spurs reports i/o Shaw. Shaw never had a ton of inside info, but wrote decently enough. MIA since May.
For what it's worth, Bonzi has owned the Mavs over the last several years. He always seems to have huge games against them.
Small- ball lineup which you guys love so much...
TP
Manu
Bowen
Bonzi
TD
Pop and Bonzi shared a mutual admiration during and after their playoff series this year. After the final game, they appeared to be talking to each other. Whether the Spurs are talking about a S&T or not, I don't buy into any Spurs hatred talk. Even though the Danny Ferry incident was ugly...Bonzi's probably not the only player who wanted to spit at Danny.
On Scola he has said in several interviews he wants to come to the NBA. At some point Spurs will trade his rights for whatever they can get, particualry if Butler proves to be a good low post force giving them Dunacn an Butler in the low post.
I've seen what Bonzi did against the Spurs when it mattered most (the post season), if the Spurs get Bonzi they are favorites again.
Toughness, rebounding, and a damn good scorer. Trade Barry, picks, whatever it takes outside of the Duncan, Parker, Ginobili, Bowen, Butler, and Finley.
I'm a big fan of Barry, but I think that Bonzi can help the Spurs more.
bonzi's a better starting power forward than michael finley
I'm scared of the "bonzi risk" but, if he comes with a positive at ude...he could be terrific!
About Detroit...I don't think is the best perspective for him, 'cause hamilton and prince are relatively young and necessarly starters for a long time.
In our line up in the back court (with the aging bowen and finley) in two years he defitely should be a starter.
Coming to what Detroit could offer...Sac has already his young studs in the back court with Garcia and Martin...they just need a veteran player that can shoot and play immediatly at a good level, not some young one that still needs minutes for showing his game and that he deserve playing time.
So, our "potential package" imho can be considered better than the potential Detroit one...
That's two more than we had this year.
I'm pretty sure you cant combine a trade exemption with other players to make a trade.
The day the Spurs sign a player that pulled the Honky and Cracker card is the day timvp retires his CIA decoder ring. Pop has had other not as nice words to say to Bonzi during and after other games.
Personally, I wouldn't mind if the Spurs did the trade just so the team has a good rebounder. I'm not crazy about giving him a pay day but there are risks involved in trying to win championships.
But honestly, with how I know the Spurs feel about him and how I know they aren't giving any >2 year contracts, there's no way they're even talking about this trade.
They may not be talking acquiring Bonzi in any way, but to suggest this team would let petty grudges get in the way of getting better is absurd. There's not a player in the NBA the Spurs wouldn't consider trading for. Because he said something dumb? Don't make me laugh. Sounds more like timvp is projecting his own grudge on the FO's actions. This is as silly as SAS fans ready to revoke their season tickets for signing ' punch' Horry.
Define "spit".![]()

My own grudge? I don't have anything against Bonzi. Did you read the part where I said that I'd take him on the team?
I just know how the Spurs work.
Go ahead and fantasize about this Bonzi to Spurs Hoopsworld BS article if you wish. I'm just giving you a heads up that you can cancel your personalized jersey order.
If the best yall want to offer is Barry and a 1st than we are better off letting Bonzi walk... I am sure other teams are offering a little bit more than that.
The ing about his cracker and honky statements = grudge. Turning in your CIA decoder ring statement = grudge. It's kind of lame, but if you're passionate about the guy, then so be it. He's an excellent player and it would be no surprise if the Spurs did take a look into acquiring him, apart from what the lame Hoopsworld site says.
You're one of Qyntel Woods' biggest supporters on this board. Why do you think they'd ever look at him and wouldn't look at Bonzi?
Yeah because white people can't defend themselves timvp comes in as Captain Save-a-Race.
You got me there
Turning in your CIA decoder ring statement = grudge.
I think you need to retire the equal sign.
We'll see. If the Spurs are mentioned by a credible source to be looking at Wells, I'll write a full apology thread to you and the rest of the people in this forum.It's kind of lame, but if you're passionate about the guy, then so be it. He's an excellent player and it would be no surprise if the Spurs did take a look into acquiring him, apart from what the lame Hoopsworld site says.
And I'll fedex you the decoder ring.
