what
First let me say that I really like Blair, and would like to keep him, but I was wondering given that we have Dyess, Duncan, Booner, and Splitter for the 4/5 spots if it would make sense to use him as a trade chip to get a top of the line SF.
Thoughts?
what
Because of the value of his contract, we would only be able to get a LLE or lower paid player.
When proposing these trades please remember the contracts have to match.
No.
Why not Bonner instead of Blair?
Surely teams will give up a "top of the line SF" for BonBon.
How about no...
hmmm... if only Blair could be trained by Barkley to play the SF position...
Top line SF on rookie scale contracts aren't on the block
??? Barkley was never a SF.
WTF?
Go to Cleveland, where you belong
The biggest contract not named Duncan is the best trade chip. That would be Dice. The best option remains to resign RJ and sign a FA SF.
Booner has more trade value. I say we trade Booner!
Pretty sure TP and Manu have bigger contracts than Dice.
You know we're having a boring summer when folks begin proposing the Spurs trade away a young, second-year player, who was an NBA All-Rookie team selection, and who the Spurs were fortunate enough to have fall to them in the previous year's draft.
The guy even posted 2 20-20 games during his rookie season - and hasn't scratched the surface as far as how good he can be. SFs can be found more easily than a young, rebounding machine like Blair.
-to-the-NO.
The op was referring to big men. Pretty sure Manu and TP don't play PF or C, but you never know with Pop.
agree no thanks ill keep the beast
If he can form an average jump shot Blair will be a great back up for the Spurs. It would make no sense to get rid of him. Rose survived as an undersized big man and Blair has 10 times the potential.
Bonner isn't a traditional big, so I also say -to-the-naw. Blair should be playing exclusively at the 4, and Bonner is a stretch 4 and can play the 3 in certain instances as well. Duncan is too old (can't play enough minutes now) to have a player as limited as Bonner as his only reserve.
dejuan blair is a fkn steal, u dont trade him
his salary is even less then most of the guys on the team, u wont get equal value for him and what he brings...even though his undersized, he players like his ben hurr
Blair's role in trades only works as a sweetener due to his really small contract. You're not going to get any quality back unless they're on a similar rookie contract. At this point if any Spurs big man gets traded I think it is likely Antonio McDyess due to his larger contract.
you would maybe package him with rj to get a better replacement for rj
Blair, Duncan and Splitter are the only bigs I would NOT trade.
Attached to a higher paid player in a multi-player trade he'd add a lot of value. It would have to be an awesome trade for SA...Blair is a great reserve for this team.
No thanks. He holds too much value on this current team. If we had another young, talented big on the roster I be more inclined with his possible departure. Even with his main weakness not being amendable (lack of height), he still holds more value than Bonner.
Or would you actually be okay with Matt starting again?
