I wonder if Matt Bonner would find this discussion interesting.

If held at a sandwich shop he would at least enjoy that. I am told he does extensive reviews of them.
He might be done with contract negotiations though and may not care that much about his rating.

This might give you some idea...

Matt Bonner was nonplussed when, for about the third time in our lives, I asked why he was so good at crushing plus/minus. Actually, I asked what it felt like to be the team’s centerpiece, to have all of San Antonio’s offensive movements choreograph around him in perfect harmony. I was joking, but, you know, I’m not sure if he knew that. He didn’t laugh; he didn’t answer. There is a first time for everything, and tonight I was cool-shamed by Matt Bonner.
Why are the Spurs so good? How is it that they keep punching the victory ticket?
“We just do what the coaches ask of us. We try to get better as the season goes. I don’t really know. There isn’t anything magical about it.” Bonner offered this, and nothing more.
