Blatch on the table

[TDMVPDPOY]

Wiz are open to trading his ass....so what do you guys think? do we need the extra big?

[The_Worlds_finest]

manu for blatche and javale mcgee!!!! first!

[The_Worlds_finest]

parker for blatche and javale mcgee!!!! second!

[The_Worlds_finest]

jefferson for blatche and javale mcgee!!!! third!

[Darkwaters]

I'd move Bonner for him. Too bad the numbers don't work.

[sasffl]

What we need is McGee

[urunobili]

damn Bonner and a filler would do it?

[Mel_13]

damn Bonner and a filler would do it?

To make the numbers work would require adding Leonard or two from the group of Neal/Green/Anderson/Blair.

I wouldn't be interested in any trade for Blatche that didn't include sending RJ to Washington.

Bonner, Blair, an Anderson. Would that work?

[stxspurs]

Anderson, Bonner is the only two I would part with

yes

The rebound numbers for his career could be a little better, but that is over a roughly 23 min per game average. If the Wizards would take Blair and Bonner off our hands, then you can't say no to this.

Maybe then Pop would have no choice but to move Splitter into the starting lineup!

[lcroock]

No chance Spurs trade for a guy with 20M + on his deal who has bad character. Spurs will save their capspace this upcoming summer for Nic Batum and possibly someone like Kaman.

[acoelho1]

This has zero chance of happening. He doesn't fit the Spurs mold of player and the Wizards are not going to take any combination of Anderson/Bonner/Jefferson.

[Bruno]

Blatche has $30M/4 years left on his contract and is a big headcase. As Mel_13, the only way Spurs should consider doing a trade for him is if RJ is included.

The best trade Spurs could do around Bonner is Bonner+Anderson+Joseph for Blatche but I wouldn't do it.

[Darkwaters]

I don't like Bonner+Anderson+Blair for Blatche at all. First off, Bruno's points are valid. But secondly, we're already critically short on bigs and now we're talking about going 2 for 1 and making ourselves even shorter in that area. Not a good idea - even if you deem it an upgrade.

Blatche + Filler for Jefferson would work. We do have a roster spot open. Another PG maybe? But what filler do we want from Washington?

[justinandimcool]

:lmao Why would the Wizards want Bonner, Blair, or RJ :lmao

Blatche would require one of the big 3, Leonard, Neal, or Splitter. Considering Blatche sucks and is a crazy, HELL NO.

[Mel_13]

:lmao Why would the Wizards want Bonner, Blair, or RJ :lmao

Why do the Wizards have Blatche on the market at all?

He's overpriced and underbrained. They'd salary dump him if given the chance.

[my2sons]

when did leonard neal and splitter become the big 3

[Darkwaters]

Blatche + Maurice Evans for Jefferson works. We could toss in a second if needed.

I'd probably do that trade to be honest. It adds size to our front court, dumps Jefferson and replaces him with another wing player. In the long run we save money too.

Theres a reason that his team wants to trade him. If he was a great player with a cheap deal and was a perfect character and locker room presence then why would they want to move him?

[Morg1411]

Blatche's attitude is bullshit. Hell no.

[timvp]

Blatche is a bad fit in every sense.

[Trill Clinton]

no thanks

[GSH]

Overpriced, underperformer, headcase... AND injured? Give me two, please.

[k_nguyen93]

As a Spurs fan that lives outside DC trust me, I'd take Bonner, RJ, Blair over Blatche anyday. The guy has had a few years now as a starter to show what he's got since the Jamison/Butler/Arenas blowup and still is just a chucker like most of the players on that team. His "signature" move is a behind the back crossover fadeaway. He doesn't get as many rebounds as he should although they do have Mcgee. He goes on Twitter to vent about why his team loses. He seems to be under the impression that he can make 3 pointers (Career 23.5%) On top of that he is hurt atm. Pass. I'd rather take a more talented Demarcus Cousins who is still young enough to figure it out. Blatche is already 25.

[cheguevara]

Dude is plain lazy. Especially on D. He never seen a shot he didn't like. Low, low IQ. Hasn't progressed in the last 3 years.

LOL the guy above me pretty much says the same thing

[Brazil]

bad fit but better than cousin

[Darkwaters]

Yea, probably not the best idea. But we seriously need help in the front court. I'm excited about the idea of Malcolm Thomas, but it's really just an idea right now. No different than the like 37 call-ups we had last year.

[Darkwaters]

Ok ok. Really bad idea. I'm just eager to bolster the front court and dump RJ. But that would definitely have been a move that would have haunted us for...well, about 4 years.

Anyways, do we think Sacramento will really trade Cousins? If so, should we be looking into him?

[angelbelow]

I don't like Blatche. Poor work ethic, poor b-ball IQ, poor personality, pass for me.

[GSH]

Here's another headcase that people wanted the Spurs to sign - J.R. Smith. These kinds of guys are just locker room cancers, and the craziness follows them wherever they go. Even China.

J.R.Smith nearly got involved in a fight with some fans at a road game in China after his sister, a spectator, tossed a bottle onto the court to protest a hard foul. With 4 minutes left in the 3rd quarter, Smith was blocked by Bayi’s center Xu Zhonghao, and fell against an advertisement board. No foul was called.Sitting in the crowd of fans, Smith’s sister and girlfriend were irritated because it appeared dangerous. To show her anger, Smith’s sister threw a bottle into the court. One female fan who sat in front of them turned back and criticized Smith’s sister for the behavior. A fight broke out between the two women. When Smith saw it, he immediately rushed to the audience area. A Chinese version of the Palace brawl was averted when Smith was stopped by his teammate.

You can argue that it doesn't affect the team, but it does. There's a constant distraction. Phil Jackson managed to keep a couple of them under control. (Maybe because he's a bit of a spook himself?) But I can't think of any other team that has been able to win with one of these drama queens in the locker room.

[Mel_13]

Andray Blatche said NY specialist told him right shoulder is severely sprained & will require extensive rehab. Still no timetable.

http://twitter.com/MrMichaelLee

Overpaid, underbrained and broken.

[stephen jackson]

lol no need for jr smith we got too many guards as is

[mountainballer]

I would rather taker Charlie V. and NO, I really don't want Charlie V.

[Spursfanfromafar]

Andray Blatche is an uncultured, immature, unconditioned, overweight buffoon who also doubles up now and then as a crass a**hole to screw his team.

I know we need a big man, but Blatche ain't it. As someone said in the Wiz forums not long ago, no team will win which plays Blatche. He is the very living of the anti-Spur.

I mean, soliciting for prostitutes, getting caught for drugs, hosting shady parties after losing seasons.. and downright stupid mistakes in almost every game.

Surely NO!

[lefty]

McGee fuck yeah

[Sean Cagney]

As a Spurs fan that lives outside DC trust me, I'd take Bonner, .

Stopped reading there! I would not take Bonner over anyone with any kind of talent. I live near DC and he does have a horrible work ethic and his attitude is not great, but he has some talent to get better atleast unlike the stiff Bonner. I would take that trade straight up everytime.

[Brutalis]

I would cry happy tears if we got McGee somehow.

[TDMVPDPOY]

look everyone playin on the wiz are fkn shit you can tell by their record, maybe its the culture but give some of them players a change of environment...

[Manu-of-steel]

Big no!

[ManuTastic]

You can't fix those things. He'll never be better than he is right now. He's hit the ceiling for someone who does no work on their game.

He's had his chance since they blew up the team, and he's stiffed.

[xmas1997]

Not just no, but Hell No!

[ChuckD]

Good Lord.......Hes a perfect fit, a big, who can shoot, post, handle, defend and play the pick and roll. His prob is he is on a very poor team with black holes everywhere and no leadership.

Put him in our startingl line up and we have a shot at a ring. Bottom line hes better than any of our front line guys right now!

It's funny that you see him actually doing those things, because nobody else, the Wizards included, does. If he did all of those things, hell HALF of those things, the Wizards wouldn't have him on the trading block.

jesus, are you drunk? that nonsense even tops the junk you usually post when you are sober. hey, Blatche isn't Greek and you are not from Arkansas. get yourself some real strong coffee.

[sehui]

Hmm..I wouldn't risk it. Pass.

Sounds liks the east coast version of DeMarcus Cousins - with a bit less talent of course.

[outmap]

Ian Mahinmi has the same skill set (and BBIQ) yet he didn't seem to find his place in the team, I bet neither Blatche nor Cousins will.
If McGee is available then that would be something.

[Spursfanfromafar]

Oh Cousins is merely a coach-killer with his tantrums and me-first attitude.

Blatche mixes that up with one of the worst off-the-court characters in the league. He in many ways symbolises the dysfunctional Wizards franchise.

[BG_Spurs_Fan]

I do however make a living evaluating players.... Blatche is better than any big including TD on our roster.


LOL not even in your fantasy world.:lol

[YoMamaIsCallin]

What's the opposite of being over yourself? Oh, wait, I got it... being Andray Blatche.

[Agloco]

:lmao Why would the Wizards want Bonner, Blair, or RJ :lmao

when did leonard neal and splitter become the big 3

I think he meant

Duncan, Gino, TP, Leonard, Neal or Splitter.......as a list.

[Mel_13]

The Warriors put to rest Sunday some rumblings around the franchise that they might take a chance on maligned big man Andray Blatche. The Washington Wizards seem fed up with the 6-foot-11, 267-pound 25-year-old, but the Warriors won't be taking the trade bait.

"He'd look good in somebody else's uniform," one Warriors source said.

Blatche has improved his scoring and rebounding numbers each of his six seasons in the league, reaching 16.8 points and 8.2 rebounds in 2010-11.

On the other hand, he was charged in 2007 for sexual solicitation, arrested in 2008 for reckless driving and driving with a suspended license for the third time, and fined in 2010 for participating in Gilbert Arenas' pregame antics. Now, he has an injured right shoulder.

Firstly I dont drink,


ok,it's not the drinking. then maybe it's some blood sugar stuff whatsoever.
or someone has hacked your ST account. or how would you explain this:

....I do however make a living evaluating players.


yeah, why not. if your dad pays you a dime for every post you write on some fan forums, just to keep you from doing what you would do if you didn't stay in your room by your computer, well, I guess you can in fact call that make a living.

[pad300]

Although Blatche has problems, I would certainly consider a proposal centered around Jefferson for Blatche. Adding another big to our lineup would be a big improvement. If we could get Jefferson's playoff choking ass off our roster, in return for taking a chance on Blatche, I think this would be addition by subtraction...Getting anything out of Blatche would be a bonus.
Currently we are running 2 decent bigs - Tim and Tiago, an SG disguised as a PF (Bonner), and a defensively poor undersized PF (Blair). ( And a rook for garbage time - Thomas). A big rotation that is going anywhere this is not. Whereas at wing we have Jefferson, Manu (injured), Neal, Green, Leonard, and Anderson. 2 good vets (Manu, Neal), 2 young guys who look good (Green, Leonard), Jefferson (the playoff choker), and and rook who may get his shit back together yet (Anderson). Yeah, some sort of Jefferson for Blatche swap works for me.

It was mentioned earlier in the thread. The only way the Spurs should ever consider acquiring Blatche is if RJ goes to Washington in the deal.

:lol

[Dex]

My mom used to get mad at me when I would blatch on the table.

[txstr1986]

By your logic, every other player on the wiz would be unwanted as well right? The Wiz hav bad management and no leadership. Blatch is a very skilled big who is what 23?? I guess you wanna stay with what we have and keep being one of the poorest defensive teams and rebounding teams in the NBA........yeah we will go far with that.

Blatche is a worse defender than Bonner. I live in DC and actually just got back from seeing the Rockets hand the Wizards their 12th loss (my second Wiz game of the season so far - you can get tickets of stubhub for less than a dollar). Trust me we do not want this guy - sure he has a decent mid-range jumper, but he plays no defense at all. Seriously, Bonner is a better defender than Blatche - I am not joking here.

[pawe]

If San Antonio didn't keep Drew Gooden, why would they sign Blatche?
