Blair Signs Contract

Additionally, you keep saying that he sound keep his concerns private, I'm sure he tried, but his management team perhaps did not.

Rumors usually start because some journalist is trying to get payed.

Also, although many posters have said this, Blair himself did not want to sit out, the hold out came as a shock to him. It's not like he twittered "no money no game."

The media has eyes and ears everywhere. He in no way, used the media to try to leverage a contract.

Finally, the deal seemed to get done rather quickly, which likely signifies that this deal was already in the works before the media found out about it.

Friend: I was not accusing you. I was only stating that the obvious is just that, the obvious.

Also, I've stated many times that Blair could have told the FO his concerns, and done this all in private, which would've been best.

Lastly, I've said so many times that I ought to just copy and paste it, I HAVE NO IDEA IF BLAIR DID THIS. I don't work for the Spurs FO, and I'm not DeJaun Blair. So, I'm not saying he did it, but that IF he did, it was wrong, and much better ways to handle it (one on which I just listed).

By the way, thanks for responding without curse words and taunts. Seriously: that is going around a lot, it seems.

You're absolutely right. And it could have been his Agent for all any of us know.

Which is my point: whoever did it, it was WRONG.

Which is why I've been saying from the BEGINNING that IF Blair did it, it's wrong, meaning if someone else did it, it's still wrong (for whoever did it, if it wasn't Blair).

I know, you say this in every post, but my question is, if you don't know why are you still discussing this matter?

I agree. I don't think it was Blair's purpose or objective to use the press in order to help his contract negotiations. His actions have proven this in how he still suited up for the second SL game and even participated in the huddles during the game.

It's not like he was caught on tape or Youtube like Jennings mouthing off, but has genuinely been professional and pleasant in all his inteviews that I have heard or read.

As I said, IF Blair, his agent, a media person, or whoever, did this, it was wrong.

As to why I'm still discussing this still, please read all the other posts, and see how I've been wrongly treated by many posters, when I have spoken no evil against anyone, cursed no one, called no one out, but these things were done to me.

Quite simply, Spurs Talk is better than such terrible and wrong behavior. At least I hope it is.

I agree completely. I have NEVER ONCE indicted Blair. I have only said that it is very possible that someone did something wrong, and could have handled it much better. I never once said it was Blair, only that is was possible.

Furthermore, I was elated when the Spurs drafted Blair, and wasn't surprised at the success in the SL. I am glad he's a Spur.

Just ignore them, there are plenty of assholes here, often including myself.

I hope we may all treat every human being with the class and dignity we'd want our very selves treated with.

You posted most fairly, friend, and I will not forget it.

Some people were just defending Blair. Spurs Talk isn't better than such behavior; there are a lot of rude people around. One of the costs of allowing people free reign is that some of them may be impolite. You have to get used to it.

Always a pleasure friend! A classy fellow (or person) if ever there was one!

I'm sorry any of this took place at all, and I may very well be banned in the morning for arguments I did not start, and insults I did not use, and curses I did not write or in any way bring up against others. But it will not be the first time I have experienced such things, nor likely the last.

Anyway! How are you friend? What do you think about all of this? Whether you agree or disagree, is fine of course, but I know you will be fair and classy about the matter.

You are most correct: there are some quality arguments in this thread, and that I have no problem with. I am ever prepared to discuss these things.

But the childishness, the pettiness, I have a problem with, whether it was directed toward me, or anyone else.

I doubt you'll get banned; as I said earlier they seem to give everyone pretty free reign in here. It has its positives and negatives, but one of the positives is you have to really try hard to get banned. I was banned from the 'other' Spurs fan website for daring to argue with a moderator (no profanity or anything). Here you don't really have to worry about it.

I was already banned for a day for something even more trivial than that from Spurs Talk.

But there is little need do discuss it. The fairness here is an illusion, as such, I don't expect fairness here.

Blair's agent and team did what was right by him and I find no fault with DeJuan.

Rumors get out from time-to-time without a plant, and I'm pretty confident that's what took place.

DeJuan, as has been mentioned, fully intended to play but with the parties on the verge of a contractual agreement, the Spurs figured he might as well sit out while the final I's were dotted and T's were crossed.

Blair, not unlike other SL prospects, was going to sit out a game or two for SL in an effort to get a better look at some of the lesser knowns, so it's likely this scenario could have played out without a contractual dispute.

Bottom line, the kid's signed, the Spurs and Blair are better for it, and hopefully his health remains a non-issue for the remainder of his career.

Basically, no harm no foul..(And agreeing to disagree, at some point, is probably a good way to avoid being K_B_P-ed;))

As you've probably already read the posts, then you know I never said that Blair did ANYTHING WRONG: only that someone did, and that it is possible that it was him, meaning it could have been a agent or media person for twisting something, etc.

Yes, I too am very glad Blair is now OFFICIALLY signed as a Spur! I think he will do just what everyone thought: mostly rebound LIKE A MANIAC!

His energy will be very welcome.

As for being KBPed, I think I will be treated worse, or banned altogether pretty soon.

Unfortunately, that is just the way of things.

Was KBP banned, or are you just talking about the pinking thing? I'm curious, was it a straw-that-broke-the-camel's-back thing, or did he do something really out there?

Posting a thread, seeing it get merged into another thread, posting the thread again, starting a call-out thread, posting the original thread again and then aiming a rant at Kori got you suspended for all of about 12 hours.

You need to either raise your game. Seriously. Take a step back. Stop the random caps lock. Take a deep breath, read more and elevate your posting skills.

Either that or go to SpursReport.

Name one person who has been banned in the last year. Even trolls usually figure out how to post on SpursTalk without ruining threads ... like you did this one.

Friend: do you even know what I said to the person you mentioned?

That person responded rudely to someone else, and I quoted this person, and said that the other person was only offering constructive criticism, and that there was no need to be rude.

Then, I was banned. As for posting two threads, I did not even know what happened to it at first. I thought I wasn't specific enough with the wording, to make it clear that the thread was going in a completely different direction. As for the "call out thread," I simply posted that I wanted to know why my threads disappeared or merged, when their were far more pointless and silly threads on the 1st page.

Those are the facts, friend. But you may do with them as you will.

Just pinked that I'm aware of but that's only part of being K_B_P-ed..

K_B_P actually has moments where he contributes to the board and discussion but because of his incessant babbling and persecution complex, he's widely dismissed.

It's not a good look, if you're hoping to be taken seriously.
