Spurs give Matt Bonner 3 year deal with a raise

[hawkfan]

Somehow this guy got more than he did last year when he sat on the bench for $2 million.

I guess he is the backup plan in case Finley and Horry have physical breakdowns.

life is good for Matt Bonner

Cant even knock the deal because its the Spurs. I think he stinks. But playing with Tim Duncan and company, under Pop. He'll look respectable.

The players on a championship team get bonuses. That's where the extra money comes from.

Bonner can shoot, but he is not a great shooter when he has a player on him...haha

They also resign Vaugn... these bastards are still going to be good for another 5 years.

WTF???

Thats gotta be great, getting a raise for NOT doing anything.

Respect, GOBB. Remember, he looks like me.

He's Horry's replacement for whenever he dies of old age.

And he doesn't need to be able to create his own shot. Being on the floor with Duncan and either Parker or Ginobili will give him lots of shot opportunies.

I watch Spurs games once in a while, but have never seen him play.

Wow, Bonner's life must be amazing. He just got a raise for sitting on the bench all season. Lucky bastard.

[iggy_needs_help]

Matt Bonner is the luckiest bi*ch EVER!! I wish I were him.

[Kiddlovesnets]

Was he the one who log in and talk with the fans in insidehoops forum?

[jbot]

wow, what a lucky guy. he hasn't been allowed to contribute all that much to the team, but they must like him to give him a 3yr deal. bonner has come a long way since he was playing overseas and having him water and electricity shut off due to not having any $.
