The End of an Era? Kings Interested in Matt Bonner

[james evans]

so the kings trying to make us spend some money by showing "interest" in bonner?

Should keep him as a 6th big, you can't do better IMO..knows the system, might still be able to make 3s, will only have to play 1 game out of every 5 or so, etc..

Agree to an extent.

However, do you think the FO may not value his skill set as much anymore because of the acquisitions they made?

Three of the five bigs, Aldridge, West and Diaw, can all spread the floor for the Spurs offense.

Before the LMA/West additions, they had Splitter, Ayres, and Baynes (all players who couldn't spread the floor)-- which is why Bonners' skill set was valuable on the roster.

Its too bad he never had a great playoff. I think its because of bad luck. I remember when Kerr was with us and he couldn't make for awhile, like a whole season before he found it. Hornacek almost quit when he first joined the Jazz because he couldn't make . Danny Ferry had his troubles. If Bonner would've made a few 3s at the right time it'd be a different story

Agreed. It took 4 seasons but Pop finally stopped putting Bonner in the Diaw role. And once Matty was put in a spot that suited him better, he stopped hurting the team and actually contributed some (Lakers, Grizzlies, Thunder series for example ).

There have been bigger scrubs than Bonner on this team.

That was my problem with him, overused at the time and a detriment to the team. I agree with you 100%.

I can't remember one big clutch three he has made? He makes them earlier in the game but if it's late and a big shot that damn thing is clanking off the rim, most un clutch high % three shooter I have ever seen. It's like he freezes at the end of the games. He had a good playoff in 013 though, he shot a high % and helped out vs. the Grizz etc. He had one decent run atleast. It's not just bad luck either IMO, either you have that IT factor (Horry) or you don't, he doesn't.

would you miss him more then tp

I wouldn't miss Enrique at all. I'd throw a party if we got rid of his cancerous play and contract tbh.
