The latest rumor is Matt Bonner to the Pacers for an unprotected 1st round pick!![]()
Bonner will be much better if he's brought in to shoot, and not to play heavy defense against bigger more skilled players. Without all the banging and without any of the pressure, he's likely to have a good year in a role reduced to what he's supposed to be on the team for. If he's not dealt, there will be many that are pleasantly surprised with his performance. If he is dealt, there will be many more that are downright giddy that he's gone.

Unfortunately , BOnner is going nowhere
actually BOnner is Rockets' best player
I don't expect much because he faded when Gooden showed up. With even more compe ion, I can't see him responding well. If a trade presents itself, it should be taken. If not, we'll hope for the best.
There is a lot of wishful thinking in this thread. If he wasn''t that productive in his lengthy minutes on the court last year, I don't see how we should assume he'll be productive just because he's getting less minutes. It's not like he's Manu that excels in quick bursts. Bonner stands out by the 3 point line and waits for something to happen.
It's true he's learned the rotations and doesn't make as many bad mistakes as he used to. He made great strides last season, but it was all about not making mistakes. He didn't do enough positive things on the court. We need a player who can contribute on his own without just being a role player that feeds off the Big 3. He's seems superfluous with the addition of Haislip.
Anyway, we'll see what happens.
