Really? What do they have in common besides a con uous absence of melanin?
Last I checked, Humph was only useful in the paint, and we all know Matty is only worth his minutes outside the arc.
My bad, I was thinking of Ryan Anderson.
Yeah, he's much more like Blair than Bonner. Either way, he can't defend the post for .
He played for NJ...his grandma could get a double double on that team. He's not what this team needs.
I think he would fit in fine. Again, he isn't great, but he is more skilled all around than Bonner and tougher IMO. He's not underrated or overrated, he really is just a guy that plays. But he does have moments where he can play on both ends. Not a dynamic player on either end, but more athletic than Bonner, more apt to block shots (not necessarily straight up, but weakside, but he can block some straight up as well) and can finish around the rim. He isn't going to space the floor with his shot, but he plays decent inside the paint and rebounds decently.
Basically, just expect a tougher, more athletic version of Bonner that plays inside instead of out (meaning the paint) and blocks shots more as well.
He wouldn't change much for the Spurs, but I'd easily rather have him than Bonner playing the same amount of minutes.
Yes, I still don't think he will be out of range, but bad contracts have been handed out before. There is a long list of FA's ahead of him IMO. Just a list of unrestricted FA's based on talent:
Jamal Crawford
Glen Davis
Troy Murphy
Joel Pryzbilla
Anthony Parker
Jose Barea
Caron Butler
Tyson Chandler
Nene
Tayshaun Prince
Al Thornton
Chuck Hayes
Mike Dunleavy
Jeff Foster
Josh McRoberts
Shane Battier
Michael Redd
Carl Landry
David West
Jason Richardson
Grant Hill
Dalembert
AK47
Josh Howard
Yi Jianlian
That is just unrestricted FA's. Those are all more desirable than Humphries or at least close IMO.
I'm not endorsing Humphries either, I don't think he is all that good. This is more just me wanting Bonner off the team
I know I'm belaboring the issue here, but what specific qualities of Humph's and Bonner's (besides their Caucasian ancestry) invite comparison? It seems like saying Nowitzki and Blake Griffin are similar, or Steve Kerr and Tyreke Evans. What am I missing?
Who said they are similar? I said he plays different, but what I meant when bringing up Bonner was impact/overall level of skill/play.
lolyeah bonner and humps r different players.Bonner is a soft outside shooting big who cant board while kris is all hustle and more willing/effective banging and boarding down low.
I know aj was real high on kris after the year he had but fck yeah id welcome him in sa just dont see it
If you play Duncan at Center and start him at PF, that would seriously take a load off duncan. From what i seen of him he can hit the 15ft shot. Not like dice but enough. He is mobile and as for his help defense to come over and block shots is what the spurs need anyway.
I remember when Humphries ted all over Duncan that one game when he was with the Mavs. Anyways Humphries would be the ideal backup to Duncan, with us finding a true center, I don't think he is worth a $5 MLE, maybe a LLE to prove himself another year or two, to prove himself that this one year wasn't a fluke.
Cannot be worse than Blairs tweets ...
Humphries is trash....
Gotta be the first jackoff to mention that huh?
In the proud tradition of rugged, tough, skilled championship-potential PF/SF combos to play along and support Timmy Duncan, i think Kris Humphries would fit in perfectly for Pops continuation plan....
Mike Finley
Matt Bonner
Soft Jefferson
This should seal the deal: Kris Humphries showing his ability to take a massive blow:
