Do WHATEVER is NECESSARY to SHIP GARY NEAL'S (HERO BALL'S) ASS out of TOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He is poisoning this team. Dude has a toxic fluid RUNNING through his VEINS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
no 1 cares.
Not sure what the point is in trading Blair. His salary is low and he has the potential to play way over his head from time to time.
I'd rather have him in Pop's toolchest for the playoffs than a 2nd round pick.

Don't want to end up like Cleveland with Varj....gotta do a trade when he is hot not when he is cold. Trade high and sale low but if we can add anyone for the PG/SG/PF/C/SF spot then do it.
HOLY , you are so clever!!!
but doesn't play in playoffs so nothing missed
Good point.
We'll definitely miss this when Blair is gone.
Worst. Idea. This. Season.
Why are you going to go seek out a guy with mental health issues that is just coming out of a major dispute with his team over the fact that he can basically only play home games? No, you never look at him his whole career. Good teams don't get roped into stupidity like that. Leave that to the dredges of the league (ie, about half of the Eastern Conference).
So you're under the assumption that he'll actually play in the playoffs this season? I know historically hes made a trend of going from starter to 15th man around April or May, so what fills you with hope now? The fact that hes no longer even a regular season rotation player or that the Spurs finally have depth in the post without relying on either Matt Bonner or Dejuan Blair?
Blair will not be resigned next season. Blair will not, barring significant injuries, log any significant minutes this year except in blowouts or when someone gets a rest night. If theres a halfway decent asset to be had for him then you'd be foolish NOT to pull the trigger.
If the Spurs trade him, they get something of value in return. If not, he leaves after the season and the Spurs get nothing. If they can get something of value for him now, then that's a good thing for the Spurs.
Darkwaters with the goods.
Royce White?!?!?! Hahahahahahahaa! Hey, Royce, we've got to go play the Charlotte Bobcats. Royce: Fly?!? On an airplane?!?!?! Oh my gosh, we're all going to die!!! ::: Blows Lunch :::
Oh, okay Royce, then you can take the bus. Busy?!? On the highway?!?! Oh my gosh, we're all going to die!!! ::: Blows Lunch :::
lol @ embedded. that's exactly why i think the spurs should get him though. he has to get over that absurdity. it'd be awesome if they had him when he does. he's a young diaw. and diaw looks pretty good with this team. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ncol0AUiFXE call me an impatient fan, but i'd rather take a chance on white now. than get a 2nd for blair and wait for that to pan out or not. if he ends up not being able to travel and can only play home games. pop could milk that too, and i think we have a more valuable trade asset than blair.
y'all should read this, it's a better, more sensible take http://www.poundingtherock.com/2013/...es-matt-bonner
I wouldn't mind a trade of Blair to the Warriors, so long as they sent back Festus Ezeli in return.
Outside of that, the only trade scenario that makes sense out of the three mentioned is Blair-for-Fab Melo.

will not get equal value for him or whatever you clowns want....
should be happy with the lifetime wottaburger membership clowns
I'd throw Green into the trade, move Jack to starting SG, and pickup a decent backup SF to replace Jack at SF.
No offense but I highly doubt that Jack can play SG effectively anymore. Especially starters minutes...
Does any SG for the Spurs play starters minutes with Manu coming off the bench?
Royce White, a lottery pick potentially acquired on the cheap for players ,seldom used, because he has mental health issues? You do realize that Stephen Jackson jumped into the stands at the Palace and started hitting fans or the time that he fired a gun outside a strip club and then got ran over and lost some of his teeth.
The Spurs have turned Jackson into a fairly model citizen but they can't do the same with someone who has less history of erratic off the court behavior?
I just like to understand your logic a little better.
the defending nba champs wanted to trade 4 blair............... spurs will re-sign blair ............

2 different issues. And just because spurs succeeded with calming Jack down. It was more of that Sjax was always a good person at heart, but believes in loyalty and protecting his friends. He wasn't a bad character per se.
Royce White - thats a different animal. Apples and Oranges. Its naive to think that "Oh, the spurs can fix him. Spurs can fix anyone". Its one thing if the player is immature or anger issues. Its another if he has a disabling mental issue that makes his availability over a 82 game season and playoffs an issues.
You're reading this out of context I was replying to "Dark Water" calling my idea to trade for White by moving Blair, Joseph, & a 2nd rounder earlier this season. He was saying that the spurs wouldn't take a chance on him because its not how they do things and the I pointed Jackson's history and how the spurs took a chance on bringing him back this time as a role player after seasons of being a 2nd or 3rd option starter.
If you can, I suggest you listen to the interview he did on PTI last week. He's actually really well spoken, both of them seemed impressed by him.
Based on the offer i suggested its a very low risk to take.
Pop doesn't really do the 36 minutes per game, or really 30 minutes a game except for Tim & Tony. The better question, is any SG (mills, de colo, neal, green) worth playing more than 30 minutes a game?
In the interest of understanding...
Jack followed a teammate into the stands. When the NBA suspended him, and the union appealed, Jack said he thought that he was lucky he and his teammates weren't kicked out of the league. He pleaded no contest to the charges, paid the fine and did his community service. Jack's rationale for doing what he did was that he was backing a teammate's play, stupid though it was.
Jack and teammates were confronted at a strip club, left the place. They were followed outside, where Jack was punched hard enough to knock teeth out, and then he was hit by a car, and he responded by firing into the air. He pled guilty to the charges, apologized, paid the fines, and didn't fight the suspension. Jack's rationale for doing what he was doing was to protect himself and his teammates, with a clear intent NOT to injure anyone.
On the court, he's never failed to show up. He steps up in big games. He's never blamed anything on anyone else. His teammates love him. Actually, every coach he's ever had loves him, people speak glowingly of his kindness and thoughtfulness. Virtually every person that's ever spoken to him likes him. Tim Duncan called him the ultimate teammate. The worst thing he's ever done as a Spur is get a technical foul at a bad time.
Royce White can't even bring himself to report to ing D league, wants to ride a bus everywhere, tweets constantly about how poorly he's treated, has panic attacks at any time for any reason, and oh-by-the-way left his first college because he kept getting arrested for theft and trespassing (they found out he was leaving when he announced it on Youtube). He's a walking circus sideshow for any team he's on. He's the anti-Jack.
I know all of this, I was replying to "Dark Water". I was using Jackson as precedent for White. I read an article in which Jackson details his point of view about his mistakes ( I think we probably read the same one). They Spurs have been known to take a chance a calculated risk in the past. Depending on what you believe Eddy Curry, was actually pretty close to making our roster to start the year. Considering his checked while in N.Y.
White just reported to the D League, and you seem to be overstating the panic attacks. He talked about the cir stances at length on Pardon the interruption,and the misconceptions of his cir stances. The guy can flat out play. He will play in the NBA, the question is just how good he will be.
