It's definitively weird to have Bonner and Blair having a "right knee effusion" the same day.
Saying that, I won't go from "it's weird" to "they are getting traded". There could have a lot of other explanations.
So with Bonner and Blair both "injured" a lot of people think a trade is about to go down!
Question is, if a trade does fall through, what do you think the details are going be??
Who could the spurs possible try to get by trading 2 of the worst players on the team?

Oh I know, Im not saying they are FOR SURE going to be traded haha what im asking is, if they do, who do you think the spurs would be trying to get out of them?
blair will not be traded .......... blair is back in the rotation .............
I reckon the right knee effusion issues were just to allow Baynes to get PT
DNP-CD would have accomplished that just fine. Unless Blair and Bonner are starting a Turd Towers clothing line, and asked Pop if they could get some free advertising by wearing their rags on the bench tonight.
Possibly a backup PG? Since Pop has made it clear Patty Mills is nothing more than a garbage time player (not sure why, he's instant offense). But if we go into the playoffs with Neal running the backup point again we're screwed. He's a horrible ball handler and a turnover machine, not a good passer, and he can't guard other PG's. It's a disaster every time he has to play point.
Other than that, maybe a guy like Luc Richard Mbah a Moute from Milwaukee. We could use another athletic wing that plays good defense and hustles to backup Leonard. He could help guard guys like Durant and Kobe. I bet we could get him for Blair straight up or maybe throw in a pick.
Or we might be able to trade Blair for Jermaine O'Neal straight up. Both contracts are up at the end of the year and it works money wise. He'd be another veteran big to have come playoff time and he can shoot the mid-range J. Only question is O'Neal's health.

Barea?
Pop is lieing about injuries these days in fear of getting fined $250,000 for being honest and saying his players are resting. Look forward to seeing more weird and wonderful DNP-Migrane, DNP-Family issues, DNP-Sore Knee, instead of DNP-Rest.
I think a PG would help, a guy more like Parker, with penetration. IMO thats the main difference between him and NDC, Mills and Neal.
Every time the Parker sits the team gets slower and more predictable.
Someone suggested Barea in another thread also, he could help, he also has experience.
At some point the Spurs need to take a risk a make a trade. Especially knowing that during the PO the bench players loose minutes.
We need better play from the starting SG position. Green has not shown that he is up to the task come playoff time as there has been little or no improvement in his game.
I think it's more like Pop is sticking his finger in Stern's eye and they both know it.
"Knee effusion"? Two at once?
IGNORANCE is BLISS.
Keep on dreaming.
Well, not looking like the Warriors will make a deal with us
http://www.mercurynews.com/warriors/...en-states-soleThe Warriors would love to get their hands on Denver's Timofey Mosgov, or even San Antonio's DeJuan Blair. But acquiring worthy help would require the Warriors to part with someone they like. Golden State would much rather stand pat.

Yeah im not buying these injuries, Matt Bonner knees are completely fine and both having the same injury is just odd. and they announced Matt Bonner injury very late, Does anyone know if they were at the game
Green is basically a placeholder for Manu come playoff time. Neal is also there in a pinch, as well as proven playoff vets like SJax. If Green loses confidence and chokes again, Pop will have options at his disposal. The question is will he wait until it's too late to make use of those options like he did last season.
Blair+Bonner for RJ!
Best explanation I've seen to explain the nearly inexplicable and extremely rare double knee effusion.I think it's more like Pop is sticking his finger in Stern's eye and they both know it.

Somewhere on youtube there's a clip where Pop is talking about the change from an injured list to an inactive list. He said that the league had made honest men of all them as they no longer had to make up vague injuries to justify resting players. Stern's tantrum over restgate has changed nothing substantial; coaches will simply go back to their old bag of tricks.
New Coyote
Just say the two banged knees in practice and they wanted to be cautious.I think it's more like Pop is sticking his finger in Stern's eye and they both know it.

Bingo.
I can't recall ever seeing one of our guys sitting with a "knee effusion". For two of them to suddenly be out with this same mystery ailment is beyond coincidence.
Thinking hansbrough and Sam young for Blair Bonner and Joseph. Or ridnour Chris Johnson.If we trade our backup bugs we could expect a big in return unless its a point and they want a run at oden. Jarvis varnado and a first rounder or Norris Cole from Miami.My guess.
I don't think benching Bonner and Blair is sticking anything in Stern's eye. Stern's whole shtick was about benching stars that fans paid to see, not borderline rotation players like Bonner and Blair. I don't think any fans are losing sleep about not seeing these guys, maybe besides playblairI think it's more like Pop is sticking his finger in Stern's eye and they both know it.

i don't think we make any moves. its in our best interest to retain jax so we can be the beneficiary of his expiring contract, as well as timely shots in the playoffs. they could probably deal blair for a 2nd rounder, but is that 2nd rounder really worth it? blair showed he can still produce in the right situation. never bad to have a body on the bench
i posted this trade in the bargnani thread jackson, bonner, neal, 1st/ barg, ross. i think this helps rotation, i thought it helped cap but turned out wrong, and it makes us younger. ross looks pretty good, he won't be a place holder like green. i don't think pg is a need. decolo and mills are fine. we don't need somebody driving, we have crazy good cutters passers and shooters. and manu, diaw drive and dish just fine.
You're that guy thats still holding onto those beanie babies, waiting for the day that they go back up in value.
