    Meh, the player I don't miss in the slightest, but as a person they don't get any more appreciative and humble than Bonner comes. Personality aside, we'll definitely not miss his contributions because we've filled his void with players that are not as one dimension as Bonner is.

    All the best to him in SA, but we're off without him in my opinion.

    Bonner looks like he would've killed KG or something like that.

    got to love pape sow, rafer, mo. pete and lammond murray for saving bonner's life. great moment in raptor history, especially with bonner being ejected to the "bonner, bonner" chant.

    I'm not saying we'll miss his contribution on the court. I mean just look at our roster. He's just a guy that every team needs.

    I can't see any purpose for d-mart. Especially with ford, calderon and prehaps jones switching down. But he's good for the team even without playing.

    If we could do that trade all over again, I'd do it in a second, especially because we got rid of e dubb. But if we could have kept bonner, I'd be ecstatic.

    I agree, Bonner is just some regular guy on the street who takes the bus to work and hustles hard at his job.

    a hard foul against KG certainly does NOT make me miss bonner lol.

    if bonner won MVP this year, i might miss him. other wise im pretty happy seeing garbs or bargs getting his minutes. bonner was a 1 dimmensional player who's only skill was streaky last season.

    Yea I'd like to have Palacio back, instead of Derrick Martin.

    Bonner was a good guy, his basketball contributions are fairly easily replaced with Garbajosa's contributions. However Bonner thought of himself as a pretty regular guy, sometimes a rare thing in the nba.

    Yea, but I wasn't responding to the video, I was just talking about Bonner as a player in general.
