I think he's the general manager of the Sonics.
And you're not . . .

Noooooo, I wish. That's Kori.
Scary- timvp and I agree. Oberto was better than people realize his first year on the Spurs- there were just 4 big men in front of him returning to the team. He had better rotations on defense one month in than Elson did after a whole season.
I'm shocked, ploto thinking a white guy played well.
Damn, the news gets better and better! With all the Garnett trade talks, people seem to forget that KG's biggest fear wears #15 for the Spurs. Oh, it's on next year!
We got Vaughn, Oberto, Bonner and White...
and Beno ready with the magnets.
Sorry, I'm not an insider at all with the Spurs.
Sam just knows some stuff sometimesBut there's no reason to doubt him.
Oberto>>Elson
Has nothing to do with their skin color.
Tony>>>>>>Beno
Horry>>>>>Bonner
Bruce>>>>>Barry
Damn, I forgot to log out of my ploto nick.
Didnt see much of Bonner but he did play good before the injury. A good option on the bench and he is pretty young too. Hope he came cheap.
The secret is out...
sweet
Anything under $10 mil is acceptable.
Good stuff. I like his hustle, and he's about as close as we're going to get to replacing Horry's skillset (although certainly not his legendary clutchness and intangibles). The kid has potential, glad he's staying, and hopefully he's learning some Horry-tricks along the way...
When we see Bonner hip-check Devin Harris into the scorer's table, we'll know that Rob's work is done.
Howabout a game winning three from the top of the key by Bonner in game 7 of the WCF in Dallas next year?
Bonner's already got that part down...

It's the clutch he lacks....which is why he's a fav of timvp.
Way under hopefully.
I love bonner. really glad to see him re-sign with us.
Bonner does represent something that Pop needed several times this past season. A Big who can actually score when the well has gone dry, while helping at the other end with decent team defense and rebounding.
Example: A night in March @ Sacramento. Corliss Williamson was abusing Robert Horry and Fab like a banshee in the post. The Spurs missed shots left and right and Pop needed a tourniquet to stop the bleeding. In came Bonner with a little offense and some excellent defense to help stem the tide until Manu re-engaged and Tony hit a circus shot to pull out a tough win.
Bonner hustles his rear-end off and is sometimes just what the team needs to snap out of funks.

Spurs will re-sign Bonner

San Antonio Express-News
Three days into the NBA's free-agency period, the Spurs have accomplished their goal of keeping their roster virtually intact.
The Spurs reached agreement Tuesday with forward Matt Bonner, the last of the three free agents they hoped to re-sign, on a three-year contract worth about $9 million.
"Matt always wanted to stay with the Spurs, so he's very excited to be coming back," said Kenny Grant, Bonner's agent.
The Spurs also have reached agreements with center Fabricio Oberto (three years, $10.5 million) and Jacque Vaughn (two years, $2.5 million). Free agents can't sign contracts until July 11.
The agreements mean the Spurs will have 14 of the 15 members from last season's team under contract. Free-agent forward Melvin Ely is expected to sign with another team.

And that's how the cookie crumbles... and I eat the pieces of the cookie because the cookie is good, even if they hit the ground. Even after 5 seconds, I eat them. So good.
From here on out the Spurs can do a few things...
1) Perform a sign and trade for a new player, hopefully Nocioni or someone who fills the needs of reserve SF and reserve PG.
2) Sign a FA to fill a need
3) Stay pat and see how White and Williams do in Summer ball and camp.
I hope if the Spurs do decide to make a move, it's to address the lack of depth at SF or PG.
Excellent News.
