and why are people calling bonner soft? was his game so invisible last season that it doesn't get noticed? do these same people remember the foul he put on kg? or the offensive rebounds he hustles through traffic to get?

i'm not saying the salary speedy drew out is what i would pay bonner for, but it's not that far off from what i think a player like him deserves. a player who is more than a stiff who can shoot as some would like to believe he is.

I just think that it is easy to throw money at a fan favorite. Alls I am saying is that if it turns into a bidding war for the Red Rocket, let him walk.

Last season he was a solid role player on a sub-par team. I like the kid, but for $3 mil, lets be serious.

He's a good player to have on your team, and 3 mil isn't too much money.
It's not a monster contract, it won't stuck us above the cap for years.
I don't see anything bad in that kind of move.

that is too much - I think the Raps offered him less than 1/2 that - but fair market value should be a deal like Hoffa got with the same options and pay grade.

Quickly Perusing the "Storyteller's Salaries" Link

here are players making AROUND $3 mil next season.

Nene
Ben Gordon
Earl Boykins
Bob Sura
Mike James
Shaun Livingston
Dwayne Wade
Amare Stoudamire
Damon Jones
Iggie Igoudala

I know that many of these contracts are rookie deals and what not.. but seriously.. does Bonner belong among this list?

i think bonner deserves a starting salary of 2 mil in which the end of his contract (thinking 3 or 4 year) he'll get close or just above 3 mil.

are you joking me? do players like stoudemire and wade even belong on that list? terrible, terrible logic you're going with here. how about gathering up actual FA's (i.e. damon jones) then make a list.

tought to gather up many FA's when the date keeps getting pushed back...

DJ is a free agent. We'll see how much money he'll make on his new contract.
