... so I can make the move these idiots are always afraid, or are too cheap, to make. Blair (because he hates being on the Spurs, hates Pop and will never resign here cheap enough), Green/Anderson and a couple of 2nd rounders for Anthony Randolph. The guy has the most upside of any big I can think of in the entire league, outside of bigs that are already all-stars. He's close to 7' tall and he's as quick as a SF. He is like a young, raw Garnett/Bosh. At this time a year ago, I would say he'd never even get the chance to play if they did trade for him, but Popo is playing Leonard and that scrub Green... so who knows? At one point, Randolph was a damn-near untouchable type of talent(and yes, I'm aware he was traded). Randolph is barely playing right now, you'll never get a guy with that type of talent cheaper.
Btw... lol @ Corey Joseph. Solid first-round pick.
I actually like Randolph too and MIN may do a deal like that.
My only problem with that: It's not like we are loaded with banging big bodies...without Blair we loose even more in that regard, leaving us with Timmy and Splitter as only real inside players. That could get pretty ugly.
Change it to Gree+Anderson and I would do it...but MIN probably not anymore :-/
Give Joseph some time! We dont know sh*t yet!
Original trade idea.
Randolph is close to 7' tall and long. He blocks way more shots than Blair and alters even more. I would much rather have him protecting the rim than Blair. His athleticism can also make up for a lot of his mistakes. The only thing you lose with getting rid of Blair is hustle and knowledge of the system. But Blair is not a smart player to begin with, at all.
the thing I'd really like is Blair at PF + Randolph at SF...I think they fit nicely next to each other.
I'm not sure Randolph spreads the floor enough to have him at SF. That would be the weirdest line-up ever, too. lol Blair at 6'6" playing PF, Randolph at 7' at SF.
Randolph and Duncan would be a better starting front court defensively. Are the Tpups looking to move Randolph? He's only played in 3 games this year so far and is making Bonner-esque $$.
Why on earth would you want that? The starting lineup has enough issues with floor spacing as it is.
I'm not sure. I don't see how he couldn't be available if they're not even playing him. I think Blair is underrated by a lot of people on this board, he's a solid player, but I think Randolph's upside, especially at '7, is something that needs to be explored if we want a real shot at a ring. The only way you stop LeBron James is having a mobile 7' shot blocker.
So you're insinuating it's unrealistic to be able to acquire a player who is currently playing less than 20 minutes per game, for a player that has been starting on a team that has the 2nd best record in the West, putting up better numbers and is cheaper? I can see where you're coming from.
and these dumbasses get propped up by the other dumbasses on this forum.
good job, circle jerk gots.
Randolph can't get minutes on the Tpups but he's going to come to SA and be a dominant player? Okay.
Cocaine is of a drug....(Rick James)
Randolph has huge potential he'll probably never realise. I've been waiting 3 years for his head to click, but he's one of those guys who doesn't get the game. He's had plenty of chances and can't even hold down a rotation spot.
He just needs to be an upgrade over Blair.
You're giving way to much for a non-rotation player, I think you can have it for Blair and one of the two Anderson or Green. And there's no need to throw in the 2nd rounders.
Why hasn't the FO thought of it? Or have they? I would just like to know that they're moving to get something done. It shouldn't be so difficult to trade for/sign a guy that would produce an upgrade over Blair.
I know, right?
Upgrading from Blair's defense isn't hard. It's a fact that he surrenders the league leading PER to whoever he guards. So basically any big at this point who in on an nba roster is applicable. As well as probably a good chunk of the bigs out in the developmental leagues.
Make you a GM and the Spurs would not have sniffed a championship. Also, you are judging Cory Joseph on a handful of mins with no real training camp. Now that's funny. I'll take Pops and Buford's record over drafting players than most GM's in the league. That's not to say they have not made mistakes but show me a GM that hasn't.
He could probably be a better defender next to TD, but I doubt he'll ever be as productive as Blair is offensively in the same number of minutes.
I know Michael Finley wouldn't have been my prized free-agent signing when I had the best player of his era. I would have done a of a lot more than that with the team. I also wouldn't have traded Luis Scola for cap-relief. That isn't hindsight, that's common ing sense.
When did I say that? And he's glued to the bench because he has an at ude problem and always has. So ing what. I'm sick of the Spurs and basically all of their fans being afraid to take on guys with questionable character all of the time. In fact, I think we need a couple of real ghetto guys on this team. Remember Massenburg? The guy was a complete scrub but at least he was ghetto and enforced the lane. More than anything, we need someone on this team that will get in Popo 's face and be real, tell it like it is, and make him think.
kidding aside - this isn't impossible:
