No thanks, we already have Boris Diaw.
well the trade should be Royce White and a 2nd round pick for blair. tbh i'd do it for the future, he's still very far off from a nba player and all around i never liked him in the first place and laughed for days on clutchfans this summer.. but still..
This is that guy, who wish to travel for NBA games by car ?
And why would Rox give a 2nd rounder for him ? They dont pay him. His ass is suspended without pay.Quote:

Both are also power forwards. Jones can play the 3 or 4 in a Marvin Williams role, so he can spread the floor while retaining mobility, something neither Bonner nor Blair can do at the same time.Quote:

He has more issues than just flying. Its a shame.
What i dont know is if he is still training with the team, because he didnt go a few times...(issues...issues...).
So, i wont do the trade...not now at least/
Most everyone who's posted already gets this, but for those who don't, this isn't even close to a talent/style fit question. Based on that, he's a no brainer, and would be amazing for our system. This is alllllllll about whether he could mesh with the SAD. And I agree with basically everyone here; it's not worth the risk.
I'm very curious how the Rockets would handle a trade. How do you even value a player like that? It feels incredibly wrong to give up a talent like that for nothing, but that's exactly what you're going to get in return.... pretty much nothing. But do you hold onto someone who's bringing you nothing? I feel bad for the Rockets. It seems like they did the "right" thing by giving a player with a mental illness a chance (although yes, obviously they were doing this for their own self-interest) and they've been bit in the ass for doing so.
He'll be available for free in the summer of 2014. Doubt Houston picks up ANY options on him.
No
He won't even be in the NBA in 2 years. Uses his anxiety as a excuse for everything. Just check what he did in high school/college.
I don't think he'll wash out,if he wants to play someone will play him. someone will give him a chance...Quote:

You know, I really liked the presentation here. It was nicely laid out and all, just too bad you know jack shit about basketball. You should have someone with knowledge tell you what to write and you word it out for them.
You could be Bruno's writer.

Right now he's 4th in the depth chart. He likely won't be more than 3rd next season if (Neal & Mills return) and Parker will only be 31 after next season with another 3-4 years of starting caliber play. Mills is only 24 Neal is 28. De Colo is 25 I'm not entirely sold that he would be better than any of these guys in the next couple of years.
He's a lottery pick who some though could have gone higher if not for his uncertainty. He seems pretty intelligent, unlike someone who tried to unload on someone in a thread,they likely glanced over before acting like an ass.
Moving Blair and 2nd rounder for a medium risk, high reward player is something that could play off big if but in the right environment with the right circumstances.
Teams take these types of chances all of the time against player with sketchy histories
-Rasheed Wallace traded to the Pistons at the deadline in '04 to the Pistons after being the best player on the "Jail Blazers" this guy lead set the record for techs with 41 a couple of seasons prior, and being asked to play for a demanding coach in Larry Brown doesn't sound that ideal but it worked out nicely.
-Andray Blatche got amnestied from on of the worst teams in the league who decided to pay him 25+ million to stay away. He signed with the Nets and is average 11 ppg and a ridiculous 23.3 P.E.R (Thats higher than everyone on the Spurs not named Tim Duncan)
-Zach Randolph bounced around after the Jail Blazers and found his way to the Grizzles on draft night. Since he came to Memphis he's averaged 18 & 11 and is the best player on a legitimate contender.
Trading a 2nd round player who is struggling and a 2nd rounder along with a promising sophomore who isn't likely to crack the rotation in the near future for a
player who lead his college team in every major statistical category.
Its pretty clear one of us know what their taking about and the other likes to act like an ass when he doesn't agree with someone.
As a free agent, who you take him?Quote:

I'd don't know about 10x as talented , but I get your point, Rodman was beastly but I have know idea how you think White is that crazy/ecentric.Quote:

if the spurs want a backup PG, why not go after the wolves former lottery pick johnny flyn whose doing his trade down here against guys from the bush....
As a FA if you sign him, and he pulls any Prima Donna bullshit, you cut him. Pop is pretty good at spelling out reality to players hanging on by an NBA thread on a non-guaranteed contract. See: Jackson, Stephen 2002.Quote:
