    As fat as he currently is, he's still producing roughly the same as Blair or RJ... so I don't really see what the downside is, especially since it's pretty much guaranteed that Blair and RJ's contributions will go down in the playoffs.

    Re: his FG%, it's way down (41%) compared to his career average (49%) so I think it's safe to say that he just doesn't care any more.

    Re: being friend with Parker, for (roughly) equal money I'm quite sure he'd rather play with Parker. They've been best buddies ever since they won the Euro junior together in 2000, when they were teenagers.

    If a team offers him a stupid amount of money then all bets are off, obviously. I think only d'Antoni is a fan of Diaw so the compe ion is limited.

    he would be a great signing.

    Not because he's great or anything, but damn the Spurs need a big man to add on the roster with experience who isn't total refuse (like Elson). If he played sharp then even better, but the grind of games coming up is going to chew the bigs up without a 5th big.

    I'd love to bring in two bigs and subtract Blair from the formula completely. Whether that occur via trade, signings or a combination I don't rightly care.

    Not going to happen, but I'd love a Kevin Seraphim trade (with Blair going out) and a Diaw signing.

    Too bad...

    No Diaw, unless he reverts to French cuisine.

    He'd be a good pairing with Splitter or Duncan. Something really not dependable if you supplant Blair in that equation.

    And...if anything...it would be great to have just so any Blair/Bonner combinations could be eliminated.

    Seriously, whats the alternative to Boris Diaw?

    Francisco Elson?

    Greg Ostertag?

    And not only is he likely going to be a free agent, but San Antonio is probably very high on his shopping list. I think you sign him in a heart beat.

    Greg Ostertag's contract isn't up in Utah yet.

    Maybe this to accommodate your desires?

    http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=6qftv4j

    It doesn't "get rid of" Blair. But it certainly places him in the rotational pattern he should be allocated.

    Then if Diaw is released...he signs with Spurs as a primary bench rotation.

    Keep in mind...Blair's salary is fully "non-guaranteed" next season unless not released prior to November 2012. Spurs don't have to trade him to be rid of him next season.

    This gives the Spurs front court options of Duncan, Okafor, Splitter, Diaw, Bonner and Blair for the rest of this season and a way to land something for Jefferson besides just amnestying him next year.

    I hope this will be the strategy. (not talking about Seraphin, who wouldn't help IMO). Spurs should try hard to get a big via trade at deadline. no matter if they think they can sign Diaw, if he is bought out. (and that's two ifs, at least one if too many for my taste).

    I don't give up hopes that it could be Ilyasova, even if the price will have risen significantly during the last weeks. win vs. sixers didn't help the case. fingers crossed that they lose vs. Knicks and lose at least 3 out of 5 till deadline, so that POs are no longer a realistic goal for them.

    Illysova is firmly off-limits IMO.

    Gooden otoh, might be an option, given his contract which the bucks might want to part with. I'd welcome Gooden back, low IQ and all, because Blair's IQ is actually worse and at least Gooden brings 10 other things to the table that Blair currently lacks.

    Diaw if motivated and not fat would definitely be an upgrade over Bonner/Blair at the 4

    I would be stunned if MIL was willing to trade Ilyasova. Didn't he have a monster 20/20 game recently?

    He's also on a very cheap contract I'm sure they will try to resign him unless I'm missing something.

    Where did you hear that? As far as I knew they were keeping him.

    That's dropped to the D-League, not cut from the team.

    I'm warming to the idea of a Shelden Williams trade if the Spurs can't make a bigger splash. The Nets are looking to be sellers if they can't wrestle Dwight Howard away and it might not take too much coaxing to swing a Shelden Williams for James Anderson (+ cash or maybe 2nd rounder) trade.
