    It's not a shock.
    36 year old journeyman. Shot .306 from three this year.
    Bonner?
    Despite the hate he has his uses,

    Bottom line we are debating guys who won't suit up much.

    Dumb to dump Butler instead of Boner.

    NO problem with Martin even though he's a piece of but bad move Spurs. UGH.

    I doubt Butler woulda made a huge difference come playoff time. Only because there probably wouldn't be enough minutes for him to play unless it was garbage time. However, I think Butler would be more useful if needed. Not sure if that makes sense.

    Martin committed to sign with the Spurs last week, but the franchise labored over the decision to release Butler or Matt Bonner, league sources told The Vertical. The Spurs waited until Wednesday to inform Butler of the decision because coach Gregg Popovich missed the team’s two-game road trip that ended Tuesday night, sources said.

    The Spurs always have either Popovich or general manager R.C. Buford tell a player in person that he's been let go, sources said.

    besides, Butler has been thrown to the curb plenty of times in his career. He'll survive.
    Doesn't make it right.

    I don't like the move, but I don't get the sentiment that it's low class or that the Spurs screwed Butler over. Trading David West after he took a huge paycut to be here would have been extremely low class. But Butler is a minimum player. He was one last year too. He never took a paycut to be here. He took market value.

    at this Express-News article from 2 weeks ago


    SACRAMENTO, Calif. — The Spurs were in Los Angeles earlier on this road trip when the NBA trade deadline came and went.

    At the moment the proverbial clock struck midnight — or noon, rather — the Spurs were finishing shootaround at the Staples Center in preparation for a game against the Clippers that night.

    When it became clear that no moves would be made, Rasual Butler looked at teammate Ray McCallum and smiled.

    “We made it,” Butler said, grasping McCallum in a brief bro hug.

    Truth be told, Butler hadn’t been sweating the deadline that much. Not really.

    neither on the team right now


    Good find.

    Exactly. Kevin Martin is an upgrade

    Good move. Replace a small with a small that is a better shooter, moves well both with and without ball and can dribble penetrate. It's the direction the league is moving.

    Butler could been used after the GSW super small lineup. Bonner will never see the floor.

    ...and people are still playing the "FO agrees with me, therefore I'm right" card? Did we time warp to 2007 or some ?

    Well not only did the Spurs feel Martin is better than Butler..

    But you can add Houston, Dallas and Atlanta.

    Or pretty much any GM that actually makes these decisions and not just post on "SpursTalk"

    Agree. Bottom line, neither Bonner or Butler will be on the roster next year so it comes down to the question of IF (big if) any of these 2 guys may get playing time in the playoffs, which one would it be? I can see the argument that Bonner has a different skill set that makes him a bit more unique/situational than Butler. Either way, one of these guys needed to go unfortunately. Do like Butler...did all he was asked.

    Hire him to sit on the bench somewhere. This way he can still get his ring this year

    It doesn't make a difference from a basketball perspective IMO, although I'm a fan of Butler, wanted him since last June..

    It does seem like an un-Spursian move from a class perspective, though, in regards to not giving him a chance to sign with a team when eligible for the playoffs(although I suppose maybe the Spurs weren't convinced that Martin and the Wolves would complete their buyout) when he has few years remaining, and has spent the year mentoring Anderson and Simmons..

    Realistically, though, we never hear anybody say a bad word about the Spurs, I'm sure they took care of him..

    Keep stacking that $$$, Bonner..
