    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.
    Completely agree.

    I'm just saying, by all accounts it sounds as if Robinson will not only be the odd man out, but could very well be moved, too. That being the case and Boozer's days likely being numbered (whether at the deadline or not), acquiring Blair makes sense.

    Remember Speedy Claxton? Nate Robinson would be that kind of player for us, except a lot better.

    Robinson could provide that extra spark off the bench that I hoped mills was gonna provide this year

    Blair for a bag of chips
    Exactly, just get him outta here. I would take NATE in a heartbeat for him, what good does keeping Blair do for SA?
    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.
    Yeah, most can see that but some still question a trade of Blair for Robinson lol.

    What about Blair, first round pick, Neal, for Jimmy Butler and Nate Robinson? Is that a pipe dream?

    They were reportedly going to release Robinson last week. Trading him for a semi productive Center isn't laughable.

    I would definitely take that trade.

    I am sure I have not watched the Bulls as often as you did. But being on the Spurs is always about at ude and I do not think Nate Robinson is Spurs material. Here he would get less minutes and I do not think he likes that ...

    Nate Robinson for Blair sounds good to me, but I don't think that is enough for someone that could come off the bench for Rose and has played extremely well this season.

    Cool. Blair for Noah. Neal for Rose. Pretty much sorts out the roster
    People would still find something to about. They'd probably convince you that if we didn't upgrade our backup SF spot from Stephen Jackson then we'd never have any chance at winning another championship.

    What is laughable is to think that anybody actually thinks Blair is a center.

    Well there won't be enough playing time at the guard position once Rose comes back. They'll have Rose, Hinrich, Robinson, Rip Hamilton, and Bellinelli at the guard spots. Someone's got to go...

    Why would the Bulls trade Nate with Rose out? It's not very likely....

    The source behind it (Rumor Press) was in the past a bulls fan with great inside sources but I don't know if it still the case.
    When you look at his twitter: https://twitter.com/NBARumorPress , he said that Blair is one of the many big men Bulls are looking at. Other options are: Mozgov, Anthony Randolph, Jermaine O'Neal, Hakim Warrick, Fab Melo, Greg Stiemsma, Hames Haddadi, Brandan Wright...

    Nate Robinson would be a bad addition for Spurs. He is having a nice season but he is a ballhog which would step on Manu's toes with the second unit.

    Bulls are awfully close to the apron. I don't even think Blair for Robinson or Blair for Radmanovic+ 2nd round pick work CBA wise. Because of that apron, Spurs having a full roster and being close to the tax, a simple 2 teams trade is almost impossible to do.

    theory 1 - the draft rights to nikola mirotic and radmonovic (or nazr.)

    theory 2 (my theory of choice) - add sjax and bonner to a blair package for deng, radmonovic (or nazr.)

    heard about mirotic from bulls forums. vaguely remember him falling in the draft. i think his buyout is expensive. hes a stretch 4. i've read bulls forum fans hype for him. maybe, for some crazy reason, chicago is just ready to be rid of mirotics buyout situation? nazr or radmonovic balance the cap and keep mirotics seat warm.

    on the flip side, maybe chicago is ready to sign mirotic? they want to free up some cap space? butler looks good. so good that deng looks expensive and expendable? a nice juicy expiring winner like sjax. unguaranteed bonner. a strong faith in blair. boom.

    kawhi and deng is a nightmare. the spurs would terrorize offenses and rain 3's. nazr knows the system and radmonovic is basically bonner. spurs get an open roster spot to save for our incoming 1st while auditioning d leaguers. i like the deng theory.

    I'd do Blair for Robinson in a heartbeat. Robinson is having a damn good year.
    This. He is fearless and has handles. Its obvious people don't watch basketball on this forum.
