[Dex]

Once he leaves the Spurs, will you please find a new schtick?

[TheGoldStandard]

There's playnando as well.

[cd021]

One teams trash...

I wish him well though.

[Mikeanaro]

Atlanta could work for him, Bud could use Blair, painless transition

[T Park]

Ill pack his bags for him and Atlanta can take care of him and his emo Instagram posts.

:lmao

[ducks]

everyone wants a cheap 4 -5 big

[Spurs9]

Never understood the hate for Blair, I actually like him. He will beast on other teams tbh.

[Darkwaters]

My guess is they're all offering the minimum, or close to it.

[Darkwaters]

Never understood the hate for Blair, I actually like him. He will beast on other teams tbh.

It probably has to do with him making Neal look like an All-NBA defender by comparison. Plus the fact that hes woefully inconsistent. Sure, he can beast from time to time. But typically anything he gains you he gives right back on the other end.

[ducks]

demanding out is not a good way to gain popularity and sucking on d

[FkLA]

He could make a solid 5th big tbh. Anything more is just asking for trouble.

[playblair]

the blair is a terrible defender is just a myth driven by haters ......................... blair had a 30/20 game something splitter/bonner will never have ...........

[spurraider21]

Good. The sooner he leaves the sooner you will stop using this account and will stick to your stupid playnando account. Until he's gone too

[playbonner15]

He should pack his bags coz he'll never see playing time. It's time to take your talents elsewhere, Blair.


Also, Bonner >>>>>>>>>>Blair.......................

Blair never had a 30/20 game quit pounding this point

If you're the Spurs and you're gunning for 60 wins and a title every year, that's true. But most teams don't gauge their players based on whether they can be useful members of the rotation during the Finals. :lol

If you're somebody like the Pelicans, he could be your third or fourth big, be legitimately better than the alternatives, and help you win a few more games.

[Seventyniner]

blair had a 30/20 game something splitter/bonner will never have ...........

Sorry, the rookie/sophomore game doesn't count.

[Budkin]

He was good in 2010 then fell off a cliff.

[BatManu20]

He's a good fit in ATL. Bud will give him PT.

[Darkwaters]

Deflection.

PS: Please back up your assertion that the idea that "Blair is a terrible defender" is a communist plot meant to discredit him. Please do so with empirical evidence.

[DesignatedT]

Does Atlanta have Whataburger?

[Boomersgold]

If Blair were a few inches taller, he'd probably be a legitimate starter for a bad team. The fact is that he's an undersized power forward with zero post moves and no "hops".

[Drom John]

Flip Burger Boutique.

[ihustle]

he seems to crave playing 30 mins averaging 12 and 5 on a non contender, so, give the baby what he wants

[TheGoldStandard]

Lack of ACLs will rear its head soon.

[Drom John]

The Hawks have trouble filling seats.
If they are rebuilding/tanking, then hustle sells some tickets.
Blair, even when in major pout, always hustled.
Blair could also work Noguiera hard in practice.

[baseline bum]

Hope Blair gets a nice contract. I mean if the Knicks would pay Stoudemire guaranteed max money surely someone will throw a decent 3 year deal at DeJuan. Wish him nothing but the best in the next phase of his career, and I think he can put up some solid numbers with playing time.

[Drom John]

I think Blair may get a decent one year contract, but no 3 year contract without ACLs.

[freetiago]

teams wouldnt even toss the Spurs a 2nd rounder for his fat ass

[spurraider21]

i unfollowed his girly little self, couldn't stand those 15 year old girl pics with all the little emoticons and junk

[Biernutz]

I like Blair..In fact I bought his jersey and wore it to games.....But Blair's heart can't give him the 5" in height he needs. Good big men out rebound him because ------they are just taller.
I wish the Spurs could find a place for him but he will want to play more......Look at the playoffs... Good luck on what ever team he lands on.....

[SilverSpur]

I wish him well and hope he blows up stat wise. That way POP will start paying attention to the bench, Mills , DeColo, Baynes, DeShaun Thomas and play them more.
Good luck DeJuan.

[PlayNando]

There's playnando as well.
Word......................

Play Nando, Pop...............................

[Solid D]

He was a very solid 2nd round pick. The Spurs received excellent value.

[TheRemix]

where is play baynes

[playblair]

teams wouldnt even toss the Spurs a 2nd rounder for his fat ass

splitter choked ................. blair would have dominated fisher/battier.........................

[freetiago]

Splitter gets 36 mil
Blair gets the boot......tbh....per par...will you still be a fan of Blair when hes out of the league in 3 years and broke from his obese girlfriends stealing his money and horrible spending habits....tbh

[davidbowie]

Blair is our secret weapon. Pop is biased cause he is too trill.

[FireMicoHalili]

Imagine if the Heat sign S-Jax and Blair this summer

[DJR210]

Sorry, the rookie/sophomore game doesn't count.

LMFAO, that what I was thinking.

The only place where his D is acceptable also.

[spurraider21]

splitter choked ................. blair would have dominated fisher/battier.........................
maybe your milwaukee bucks will sign him

[Sean Cagney]

splitter choked ................. blair would have dominated fisher/battier.........................

With the 10 foot floaters!!!!!!!!!!!

[MannyIsGod]

Dejuan Blair is going to be a good 3rd big for someone. He can flat out score and he's not a bad rebounder at all. His height is what hurts him the most on the defensive end but he's certainly not Neal quality as some people here have stated in this thread. For a team that needs offense off the bench he'll definitely provide some.

[elemento]

Even with all his flaws, I liked Blair.

I was so freaking excited when he had those pre-season games. Too bad he couldn't keep it going.

I wish him the best.

[coyotes_geek]

I've got nothing against Blair. I hope he finds a good situation. He's got some limitations, but he's also got some skills and is a hard worker. He's never going to be an all-star, he probably won't ever be a key player on a championship caliber team, but barring something drastic happening with his knees I could easily see him being a guy who finds a way to stay in the league for another 10 years.

Half the crap he writes back is impossible to understand

[Knoxxx]

I wish him well and see him fitting right in on some low BB IQ team.

[Russ]

Could the Spurs do a sign and trade?

[coyotes_geek]

Could the Spurs do a sign and trade?

Theoretically they could, but it's highly unlikely they'd be able to pull it off. Blair isn't going to command that big of a salary, so pretty much every team out there will be able to fit his salary into their cap room, or one cap exception or another. Not much of a reason for a team to give the Spurs anything for Blair when they can just sign him outright.

Also need to keep in mind that if the Spurs are thinking about maximizing their own cap space, any player they'd take back from a Blair S&T would eat into that. The Spurs probably aren't interested in S&T'ing Blair either.

[PlayNando]

Blair will just go hit up another diamond store if he needs money, tbh.

[jimbo]

I think he'd be a good energy guy for someone

[Kidd K]

Blair never had a 30/20 game quit pounding this point

True, but he has a 28/21 and a 27/23. Pretty close.

[spurraider21]

we were pretty close to a 5th title. there's gettin it done, and there's not gettin it done, to quote Terrell Suggs

[Kidd K]

Nitpicking a couple points on a statline is entirely different from winning a title. They have nothing to do with eachother.

[DesignatedT]

wgaf about blair. dude sucks and he's gone.

[MeloHype]

Next season your username is gonna be tradeforblair

[Marrow]

blair has had his run as a spur...he will flourish elsewhere for as long as knees will let him

Good luck DeJuan.This too. I don't understand all the hate towards Deujan Blair. Why can't we all just wish him the best? Dejuan Blair has heart and talent he just doesn't have the size. I wish him the very best.

[mudyez]

Only can hope the best for him.

[Obstructed_View]

True, but he has a 28/21 and a 27/23. Pretty close.

I think Pop pulled him from one and he got a bullshit sixth foul on the other.

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

Blair can play the game. He'll be a great regular season player for someone.

[playblair]

I think Pop pulled him from one and he got a bullshit sixth foul on the other.

blair = 2 30/20 games................. re-sign blair...................

[timtonymanurich]

I would trade him straight up for Paul Milsap.

[Kidd K]

Yep, you're right. The 28/21 game was done in just 31 1/2 minutes and it helped propel a shorthanded Spurs team with Manu going 0/10 over OKC by a single point. Blair fouled out with 3 mins left, and RJ of all people hit the game winner that night. :lmao

But yeah, I remember that game still, it was a great game.
