I don't understand the rules here. Why couldn't they just re-allocate him to the Toros?

Because then he’d still be considered a Spur.

even if they let the 10-day expire? however, i see the flip side of the coin is to allow him to play in the NBA rather than delegate to the NBDL.

He is going to sign with Toronto.

The 25-year-old elected to sign a 10-day contract with San Antonio on Feb. 25 despite the Raptors’ aggressive pursuit, hoping to eventually convince the Spurs to keep him for the rest of the season.

“I had a couple of great options,” Mensah-Bonsu said. "I hoped San Antonio would be a good fit, but I understand the business side of the game. They had a chance to sign a veteran.

“But I’m grateful for my time here. I really wanted to be a part of this organization [and] be around guys like Tim Duncan. I think it’s going to help me down the road even though it was a short [stay].”

who are you who can summon fire without flint or tinder? there are some who call me ... tim.

Awesome. If I was the kind of guy who posted a signature line, this would be it from now on. -SiMA

Well, and I’m trying to be positive here, at least he went somewhere that we don’t hate. It would be heart-breaking to see him burning us in a dallas or la or phx uni. Now he’ll just burn us in a uni that I don’t despise. Good luck Pops.
