If he starts games well, it's all good. He's especially effective against OKC for some reason. That might be useful later on.
Giving Dawson time to see what he's capable of, sure.
Dropping Blair immediately over a couple of garbage time plays? Easy there, Seabiscuit.

Exactly
And to think I wanted McDyess back just last week. Ha ha.
That's true but at that point I'm not sure if there's enough minutes to go around. Blair should be able to perform better off the bench but I don't remember him responding so well when he got sent to the bench last time. I suppose he should get a chance to fight Bonner for minutes though...
I'd kind of like to see Tiago and Diaw play together some as well.
It's hard not to laugh/comment when ridiculous crap is suggested.Now I'm kit the brightest Apple on the tree, I'll give you that. But I got you commenting on my thread,soooooo it must not be that dumb.
You're on a roll.
Can you imagine his thread the first time Patty gets a few points and an assist?
Yep.
"Amnesty Tony & give Patty the max"
I know what the OP said isn't going to happen.
But I will say it was a classy move by Dawson's teammates to get him the ball at the end and let him show his stuff. They seemed genuinely happy for him.
It's good to see someone from the hood do well.
Good luck from an old school Cherokee to a new school Hurricane.
Shades of the old Derrick Dial offensive display about a decade ago. Dave was LOVING that .I know what the OP said isn't going to happen.

Until Patty Mills joins the team with a "Visa" in hand, he does not count against the 15 player limit. This being Friday, dont look for the Visa to come thru before next week. That means we can keep both Dentmon and Dawson over the weekend. Dentmon has a working knowledge of the Spurs offense from Austin and has some chemistry with Dawson.
As great as Dawson did in garbage time, I'm not sure he would be ready for prime time yet. Blair (as stupid and ty as he is at times) at least knows the system and has good chemistry with Manu on the pick and roll....
People are far too harsh on Grizz. He's streaky, but a very effective player when his head is in the game.
You can't teach size & honestly who would trade a 10-20 pick let alone a 1st round pick for Blair?
Bringing over Lobrek would be our first round draft pick.
I agree 100%. The Spurs would be so sorely lacking in frontcourt toughness if they were to get rid of Dejuan Blair without replacing him with another bruiser. He may not have alot of height, but he sure has alot of mass that he isnt afraid to throw around...
So hes a bruiser...ok, so thats a plus.
But hes constantly abused on defense and rebounds like .
Sure, he'll go off with a 20/20 game periodically, but the in between games are pretty bad sometimes.
dawson has potential to improve to be something like Ratliff....
as for blair he has hit his peak and is a one trick pony the defense has found out, make him do circus shots
Dawson just seems like he's ready to "Make love to pressure"! I just really wanna give him a shot against quality players, Not just scrubs. I like that he plays hard an he's really tryna prove himself worthy. That's no know on Blair. Blair played bout good of defense a short person can play on Dirk without fouling. I was just simply thinking about seeing Dawson taking jumpers where Blair tries a running floater from the same distance. Like the 1 dude said, cut JA an sign Dawson. The more bigs the betta. Give Timmy more rest before the playoffs start.
Why in the WORLD do some of you not get it? Is it really that difficult to understand?
Every team, that's EVERY team, has role players. Guys who aren't elite/superstars who every night will get you 20/10. They are guys who on SOME nights will get you 16 pts, 9 boards, 4 assists, 2 blocks and have one of a game. On other nights, they probably shouldn't even play. They don't cost much, they don't complain about not being the man and they don't mind doing the dirty work when called upon.
This is Blair. And SJax. And Leonard. And Green. And to some degree Bonner. Everyone has a role to play and are NEEDED, yes NECESSARY for team success. All the trade this guy, get rid of that guy needs to freakin STOP. There will always be better players around the league than the role players. Other guys who are taller, shorter, faster, jump higher, etc. It doesn't mean they are an upgrade over who you have IN THAT ROLE. Blair does a fine job in his. He's undersized - he knows it, the team knows it and so do OTHER teams. They aren't gonna give a lot in a trade for an undersized guy because they'll have the same utilization problems that the Spurs have. Micheal Beasley was the 2nd pick of the 2008 draft (not the 1st) because Chicago thought he was too short (listed at 6'9" but is really abut 6'7.5" or so). Yes, an inch and a half matters that much. So, EVERYONE knows that height matters.
If you're bored, then I get it. Start a thread about some ridiculous idea and watch the masses go at it discussing. But, whoever started this thread needs to learn more about professional basketball if they truly think this is a good idea.

Give Jermaine a break, he's still maturing as a Spurstalk poster. He still has upside and with proper coaching he still has potential to be a productive member of the forum.
Ah, in other words, he's a ROLE poster. Copy.
Yeah, exactly. He's still struggling to find his role though.
