He said on ESPN? ESPN radio or what?

nice

I saw it too, was just about to post. The ESPN guy said, "What is it like playing without a contract? Does that affect your play?" And Blair goes, "My contract is done." The ESPN guy says, quote, "Oh!" I laughed.

Blair said it "just got done". I think this was the first public statement, just now, on ESPN News (TV). No details at all, just "it's done". No discussion about him not playing in the 2nd game or why. No discussion about whether he'd play the rest of the summer league. Just lots of chat about his rebounding progress, and a quote from a website called "spursproject.com" (is this real?)

Apparently there are Chuck Norris type jokes going around about Blair and his rebounding ability. If by "chuck norris jokes" you mean "really lame jokes".

It was on ESPN News. He did an interview from the Belagio.

Nice. What's the single game rebounding record for summer league?

[rascal]

Good, better to get this done early.

Nice. What's the single game rebounding record for summer league?

20. Lonnie Jones (who?)

[ElNono]

Everybody, step AWAY from the ledge...

[iilluzioN]

great news, Now lets see him play with ian down low in the post and dominate.

[ulosturedge]

This is good news

[ffadicted]

I wonder if they used the LLE for this

[siraulo23]

If this is true, GREAT!
Good chance he'll play next game then

[z0sa]

Just another obvious outcome (to me) of what has turned out to be a near perfectly scripted offseason thus far. Blair fills a role the Spurs desperately need, while Blair wants the chance to share some time in the spotlight and prove the doubters wrong during a Spurs le run.

Excited to see its actually done now, though. I wonder what they paid him and from where?

[Big Empty]

there's already a thread on this

I couldn't find any article yet. Maybe Duncan228 will find one later.

[bigdog]

Awesome. Hope to see him playing next game with Ian down low.

[ducks]

I wonder if they used the LLE for this

if so only 2 year deal
if the used some if not all the rest of the mle he could be more years

[Libri]

so what do i do with this Panic Button now?

Save it for later.

[bigdog]

I'm sure it was whatever was left of the MLE. He's obviously a 1st round talent, so I would use the rest of the MLE to sign him to a longer deal.

[Big Empty]

I sure hope he pans out theres a ton of hype!!

[poeticism707]

If Blair demanded a contract AFTER ONLY ONE SL GAME, then he put himself ahead of the team in demanding a contract, and make no mistake.

Of course, I'm still VERY GLAD that Blair has been signed with the Spurs.
