I guess you got me there, but he isn't really a PF either. No range whatsoever so Center is probably the closest.What is laughable is to think that anybody actually thinks Blair is a center.
He's also a ball hog who's prone to taking questionable shots.

Not really so much this season, from what i've watched he's played fantastic basketball while shooting a respectable 44% ( not bad for someone who is 7 inches shorter than me)
He really hasn't played big minutes for the majority of his career. He's only logged more than 25 minutes per game once in his 7 seasons. He can be knuckheadish but at this point he is basically Neal but can't actually attack the rim and finish. He is also shooting better than Neal this season, and has a long history of explosive performances. He, this season at least is playing like a true pg instead of an significantly undersized 2 guard. I'd expect Pop to keep him on a lease to keep him in check.
Per 36
18.5 ppg
43.8% FG
41% 3pt
6.3 apg
2.3 tpg
Gaining Nates toughness would make me feel better if indeed we did have to let go of jax in a trade, he is our best trade piece as far getting something quality in return, but we do need his wiener hitting mentality in the playoffs, Nate would help replace that loss.
Pop would never approve a trade that brings in someone who was once in the dunk contest.
Jimmy Butler's the Bulls' best perimeter defender. No way in they give him up for Blair. It'd be a blessing if we get Nate Robinson for him. We lose a guy who's not really in the rotation and we gain a legit (one of the best) backup point guard.
Blair for a sausage deep dish (X-large of course) and a Jordan jersey.
Gary Neal?
Ballhog chucker Nate Robinson is not a good fit for the Spurs. I'd rather keep Blair.
Two seconds and seeya. It gives more time for Baynes in scrap minutes.
At first I thought you were talking about Blair. On second thought, I still think you are talking about Blair.
Blair is really under-appreciated here - I don't get it. If anyone should be traded - it is Bonner.
The day Blair goes to another team and becomes a solid player - the same people that hated on him here will be crying about it here.
Blair has a couple of things you can't teach - a nose for the ball and heart. The coaching staff should just work on him and with him to help him become a better all around player instead of looking to trade him.
One of the main reasons that they're looking to trade him is because he's at the end of the contract. He will more than likely not resign with the Spurs, so they're looking to actually get something in return for Blair instead of just letting him walk after this season. It's in the Spurs best interest.
dunno which dumb kent GM is going to give him more than minimum per season
I think that Blair would probably be looking for a place where he'll get the opportunity to get playing time. He's not getting that with the Spurs any more.
Exactly. Why would we trade Blair for another Gary Neal? Although, I do suppose that Robinson has slightly better ball handles than Neal.
Maybe...
or maybe he will re-sign with the Spurs - for a low price. He is a rotation player who could be had for a "Spurs" price. (cheap)
Do people really want Robinson on the current roster? Would just make things more complicated for the guard rotation. And for one of our bigs nonetheless with our already thin front line? Pass. Not sure why timvp even likes the idea of this trade, tbh.
I wouldn't be opposed to a combination of Blair/Neal for Robinson, tbh.
I just don't see why Blair would want to resign in San Antonio. He's gone to playing a significant amount of minutes to rarely getting any playing time. I'm not ruling it out completely, but in my opinion I don't see Blair coming back.
I would be very happy with a Blair for Robinson swap. One thing that hasn't been emphasized in this thread, is that Nate can, due to absolutely FREAKISH athleticism, can defend players much bigger than him. Pop has a tendency to like small ball alignments; Nate's a good piece for that, because he can defend even against some SF's - even if he is giving up 6 or 7 inches.
Like others have said, the idea of a Blair-for-Robinson trade is a bad one. I'd much rather the Bulls return a player like Jimmy Butler, but no way in that happens. Outside of that, I've read some others posts suggesting the Spurs hold out for either the draft rights to Nikola Mirotic or a late first rounder. Either of those would be better options, yet I seriously doubt the Bulls give up their expected late-first rounder for Blair. Then again, it really depends upon how much they want him.
yes shut up with the backup point guard stuff already. the spurs are so overloaded with guards.
what if jackson doesn't re-up for cheap in the offseason? what if he isn't worth re-uping for cheap in the offseason? how about a young or quality sf/stretch 4?
add nate robinson!? you haven't seen trade machine threads yet. neal, mills, decolo, cojo, and green minutes. robinson would feast on them all, or get pissy on the pine.
i would rather the spurs keep blair than trade him for a pg. but if the bulls want him... http://www.chicagonow.com/chicago-bu...g-replacement/
There's a difference between having too many guards and having a quality backup point guard. This team gets all sorts of discombobulated when TP leaves the floor.
