Can we make the swap tomorrow night? Better deal than I thought we could get.
Not Boozer. Every time he makes a play he growls like some one just grabbed his nads. Too much of a diva.
I dont know, I mean apparently they are interested in Blair, and Boozer IS on the trading block. I think we could do it if we involved Diaw, Blair, Bonner, and mills
Since we are on all kinds of proposed trade rumors, I wonder if anybody thinks Beno would work second time around. I know the first time is not pretty at all, but he is much more experienced and better than any of our non-Tony PGs. Any thoughts?
Actually that is exactly what they will trade him for to get out of his contract. If he ain't traded he could very well be cut in the off season to get his salary off the books. Trades in the NBA are no longer about equal talent, but rather what fits money wise.
Everybody calling Nate a chucker reminds me of people calling Ford a chucker before we signed him, in the right environment such as the Spurs that can easily change. I'd do that trade in a heart beat, the Spurs desperately need a backup pg and Nate is playing very well this year. His playmaking will do wonders for this team! They are thin at PG though, I wonder if Blair, Neal and Lorbek's rights would do the trick?
Well, at least, Nate rebounds well as Splitter and has more blocks than Bonner.
The Bulls are not looking to just do a salary dump on Boozer. If they move him it will be for some value in return, not for a handful of Bonners, Blairs and Pattys. They would never settle for an offer like that, and certainly could do FAR better elsewhere. Boozer is only 31 and still a very productive 20/12 guy (per 40), and while his contract isn't ideal it's certainly not the Eddy Curry-esque albatross that you're making it out to be.
I would do Blair for Boozer's eyeliner straight up if the deal was there...
Have you been watching the bulls? Nate has been playing great this year. Him and Henrick have done a great job of replacing an injuries all star pg. He would be an upgrade in terms of play-making over Neal.
The Bulls are right at the apron. Spurs can't just give them Blair for a second rounder, they'd have take back one of their scrubs like Nazr Mohammed or Radmanovic, because I don't think the Bulls would dump Robinson.
They're gonna be capped out heading into next season. Rose, Deng, Boozer, and Noah all making at least 12 million dollars and they really don't wanna go past the luxury tax. They are reportedly considering moving Boozer, who has been fantastic this season, for Bargnani just to save 5 million per season. A 1st rounder is guaranteed money for an unknown player, you at least know exactly what you're getting with a 4 year veteran. The Heat moved a 1st rounder to save cash this past draft.
Take him. For the love of all that is silver and black, take him off of this team. All I see in the first quarter is Blair getting abused and not able to rebound.
Trade Machine says this is successful:
Chicago gets:
DeJuan Blair
Utah gets:
Stephen Jackson
Nate Robinson
Matt Bonner
San Antonio gets:
Al Jefferson
Good post.
This would be an outstanding trade for the Spurs for a myriad of reasons . . .
- He's a good enough shooter to work off of Ginobili, but he's also also an explosive enough scorer and improved enough play maker that they could even give serious consideration to starting Ginobili.
- When engaged, he's not a bad on ball defender.
- Though still immature and goofy, he's got swagger and infinite confidence, which this team could always use more of.
- He'd free them up to trade Neal (and spare parts) for either a fourth big or another SF.
It makes sense for the Bulls if they don't move Hamilton, because between him, Rose, Hinrich, Belinelli and trying to find more minutes for Butler, Robinson will be hard pressed to stay in the rotation (they've also got Teague for depth). He's arguably having a better season than all of them, but I still think he'll be the odd man out. Plus, if the Boozer for Bargnani (and spare parts) trade goes through, then getting a big who has many of the same characteristics of Boozer back makes sense, too.
meh, it's not like blair will see playoff minutes anyways. robinson might have the possibility of contributing and it's much better than watching neal try to run the point during the playoffs.
Not sure what Hamilton, Belinelli and Butler have to do with anything...seeings how none of those guys play PG. Teague is completely unproven and irrelevant at this point.
I'll take a 3rd round pick. He sucks.
here's an article from projectspurs about bulls wanted blair http://www.projectspurs.com/2013-art...-in-blair.html
i hope they could come up with this trade to boost our wing protection http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=b2fw2zb
Id really love this but I doubt this happens.
No Blair until garbage time= blowout win
And neither will Robinson once Rose returns. Hinrich will back him up and when Robinson does play, it'll likely be as a combo guard (PG defensively/SG offensively) in tandem with Hinrich for stretches, so I put him more in the category with their wings. Teague is relevant in the sense that they're fine in terms of numbers even without Robinson.
Numbers don't matter when a player is basically a body in a jersey and cannot be trusted to give minutes to. You don't put your trust in a rookie to help in the event of another injury when you have a veteran player you can keep around that is giving you 12/4 and shooting 41% from distance...at a measly 800k salary.
That would be stupid.
