If Blatche has a maturity problem, doesn't it make sense that he goes to a young and experienced Minnesota team so the can mature?
How did anyone get the wolves are going after Blatche from that article? It just mentioned he was there. The article clearly states who the wolves are interested in, Whiteside.
I swear some people's reading comprehension is just terrible.

I would hope so. But with the way Pop played Splitter at times when we needed his health, it worries me lol.
But I think if we got him he should get plenty of minutes. Likely off the bench as Pop probably likes the starting 5 chemistry. But dam that 2nd unit would look dam good
No one is paying him more than minimum. It would be stupid. He has to forfeit the excess to the Wiz anyway, until they are repaid what they are paying him, or the three years expires.
To be honest, I didn't even click the link. I skimmed the last two pages of this thread, saw the posts of SpurPadre, Dex and Hoops Czar and just assumed they were. I'm not surprised they're probably not though, as he makes no sense whatsoever for them (although, given that, it would be more Kahn like to be interested). But even if they are, I wouldn't be worried. With the Heat clearly more interested in rim protectors, if the Spurs want him, I think he's theirs for the taking.
Somebody should change this thread le to SpursTalk Interested in Andray Blatche
From the tweets I'm reading, seems that teams are having FA workouts, so maybe the Spurs are scouting those before making a decision on Blatche.
You're welcome.
Yeah. I agree. There shouldn't be anything being a former starter in this league that should prevent him from being (in the least) first off the bench on the Spurs.
That's interesting. Because why would he waste his time "being there" if there was no interest?
It was in Houston. That's where Blatche is working out with John Lucas. There were several OTHER players in the workout.
I swear every post a relative newbie has to put out always has to get somebody talking about it afterwards, no matter how well-intended the newbie was. It's not about terrible reading comprehension it's about speculation. Didn't mean to cause false-alarms, though.
No more speculation or false alarm than this entire thread, tbh.
I just heard it's a done deal, the Spurs will field a team this season!
It is terrible reading comprehension if you take away from that article that the Wolves are going after Blatche. It has nothing to do with being a newbie or a vet. If a vet poster posts that, I'm saying the same thing.
Ahh...there has been mere speculation surrounding this potential signing for the better part of the summer..at this point, I really don't give a tbh. All I know is Matt Bonner and Dejuan Blair are still on the roster...I'm still pretty pissed and alarmed at the FO's inability to get rid of that deadweight.
People shouldn't forget that Blair and Bonner are 4/5 bigs with Diaw resigned.
Yeah, but we need another big to make Bonner the 5th big providing us with good floor spacing in the regular season and to get rid of Blair ...
IF the Spurs are able to obtain Blatche, I at the very least hope Pop works his magic and turns the guy into an effective and reliable threat. He did show flashes of potential back in Washington.
He has, however he is no longer a 20 or 21 year old wunderkind, but now 26.
he's passing that time window when he potentially could get it together.
I'm all for the SPurs giving him a try, but have seen nothing that makes me think they will or even if they did it would be successful
ESPN has ranked Blatche at #254, quality of a 9th man.
Cory Joseph #458, a 16th man.
Patty Mills #309, an 11th man.
Blair, Bonner, De Colo, Diaw, Duncan, Ginobili, Green, Leonard, Neal, Parker and Splitter are either higher than #241, 8th men or higher, or lower than #500.
De Colo has to be below #500. The rest should be top 240. My predictions (WAGs):
Parker: 16
Duncan: 24
Ginobili: 31
Leonard: 79
Diaw: 109
Splitter: 133
Green: 158
Neal: 218
Blair: 221
Bonner: 237
