Matt Bonner Farewell Tour 2013

[WILLTHETHRILL]

Per Project Spurs:


Right now, the Spurs have a combined $30 million in contracts coming off the books this summer. That's Manu, Jackson, Tiago Splitter (restricted free agent), DeJuan Blair (restricted) and Gary Neal (restricted). Matt Bonner's contract is only guaranteed for $1 million if he's waived by June 29th, so that could be an extra $3 million off the books. Additionally, Boris Diaw and Patty Mills have player options on their deals. We'll assume they don't opt of their deals but the Spurs do waive Bonner and say they have approximately $33 million in expiring contracts which would get them about $23 million in cap space.



There is your proof boys!

FYI NBA Draft is June 27th. So he will be gone by that time.

Manu and Tiago will be back, and probably Diaw, Mills and Neal too.

Most likely but at reduced money for Manu. just showing the Bonner lovers and haters that he can be let go for less.

If not sooner before the trade deadline which might reduce the ulcer pains fans have been getting during the playoffs based on Bonner's past performances.

Still don't know what the Spurs would do with cap space. No one ever comes here unless it's a veteran that is on his last legs.

As I have said before Bonner earns his keep nothing more nothing less.

Thanks for the find Will!!
Bonner's acquisition can fit at least two NBA teams now.
Let's hope Spurs can get it done before trade deadline and get Spurs either a veteran who is looking for his ring or any okay big/sf who fits here..

No way the Spurs trade Bonner before the deadline. Great 3pt shooting among contending teams is a must!

I agree... but we are talking about playoffs after the dealine which doesn't apply to Bonner's 3pt shooting cause he shoots nothing but bricks during that timeframe.

Guapo you mentioned The Main Point.

That is the Exact REASON why Spurs should trade Bonner who has THE BEST VALUE to get out of him as he is right there top of the league's in Three Point Shooting.

Bonner is not going anywhere before this summer. With Tim probably nursing his knee the rest of the season Bonner will get plenty of minutes. Bayne may get a few minutes later in the season, but they will be minimal. He was signed this year because he wouldn't be available if the Spurs waited until the summer. The Spurs would not be able to find anyone that could fit into the rotation with Bonner's "corporate knowledge" that would do any better job than Bonner--not even close. So everyone just buckle up and enjoy the ride...
