"The former Toronto Raptors fan favorite will join Blake Murphy on the FAN 590's new hour-long Raptors show "The Raptors Show," the station announced Monday. The show will start on Oct. 15 and run from 11 am to noon ET Monday through Friday."
I'm really bummed about this. I thought he had a great chemistry with Dan and would love to see him be a permanent court side commentator for the Spurs one day. Good luck to you, Red Rocket!

Not even the broadcasting team is safe…
Who’s next, the Spurs Hype Squad? Yes, please take them.
This is the first time a Spurs great has left for the Raptors and I’ve been sad about it.
Hope he enjoys it and finds some good ass sandwiches up there.
Bro that means we’re head to a world where Danalytics is going to replace Bill Land and I hate that for us.
Why?
Farewell, Coach B. Pour some Big Red out for our loss.

Godspeed Red Mamba.
I like how it’s the *other* NBA team he played for, too.
Banished to the shadow realm up in candada dang
So long and thanks for all the memories Coach B
Fare thee well, Red Mamba.
You can always come home.
I’m pretty sure his wife is from Toronto. So I get it.
That must have been quite a lucrative offer! Probably even covers the tax difference between canada and texas.
One of my fav moments a few seasons ago was a broadcast during an away Grizzlies game where spurs broadcast was having technical issues so Matt joined the Grizzlies broadcast and the three of them had a great mixture of game analytics, remember when/memberberries, and kind of a bit of clowning each other. It was awesome – so much even Grizzlies were coming over here talking bout how they thought it was tyte too. O yea and thanks for the championships! 🥰
I’m guessing more money? Is this a promotion or more of a lateral move?
As a certified Bonner Hater I am thrilled with this news. Guess he finally wore out his welcome with the Spurs.
I have his jersey.
Thank you for everything! Good luck in Toronto.
Et tu Bonner
I keep forgetting that he played for the Raptors at one point. He said it best; he’s forever a Spur in my eyes. I wish him and his family the best.
SSE must’ve not been paying that well or he didn’t have much of a chance at an extended role.
Him and Bill Land will be missed.
Bonner leaving at the start of a new era? That kinda sucks. There’s so much stuff to look forward to rather than…Idk, pre-wemby when he was active.
Bonner was one of my favorites. Such a great personality and sense of humor. My son got his autograph at a game last year and they chatted about Wemby for several minutes. Completely down to earth guy. He will be missed. Sean you are not allowed to go anywhere else.
Bon voyage, sandwich hunter.
He’s been gone for a while if you follow his IG, he moved to TOR around end of the season
I love that he gets to be close to a large group of friends and family. It was always a joy to see his cheering section at the Toronto games when he was in the silver and black
