DeJuan Blair has been on the San Antonio Spurs' trading block for the past year, and he and his agent expected the forward to be traded by Thursday's deadline.
Ultimately, the Spurs could not find a suitable deal for Blair and kept him -- which was disappointing for Blair's camp.
"Obviously I am disappointed that we were not able to get a trade done but I trust Pop and RC and I know they tried their best and have DeJuan and the Spurs best interests at heart," agent Happy Walters said. "When Pop needs Dejuan, he'll be ready to contribute as he always has been."

For as much as Dejuan Blair frustrates so many Spurs fans, I think it's clear that he's been a pretty good soldier for this team. He could have easily chosen to make problems because of his frustrations and disappointments, but he's been ready -- if limited -- when Pop has called on him and hasn't made waves.
I am pulling for Blair...my little crystal ball says that he will do something big these playoffs.
Not as disappointed as us.
Nice to see Blair's handling things professionally. I was rooting for him to get moved somewhere where he could really prove his worth though. Not getting that trade probably has cost him a pretty good chunk of money since I think he's a capable rotation bigman on most teams.
If he wants to be waived, let him go.
Blair's at ude has been about as good as one could imagine from a young player who has been yanked around so much. I don't think he has many years left in his basketball career but hopefully I'm wrong.
word blair could make an impact ala ian mahinmi for the mavs in '11.................
Whataburgers been disappointed the whole season, you don't see them complaining.
Turns out it was a smart deal for the Spurs to give Blair lotto money instead of the deal rookies usually get when they're drafted where he was. That probably bought enough good will to keep him in line through it all.
He'll be begging for a Euro contract in 2 years.
Hopefully he will be able to grab a 3 year contract with someone probably with a team option on the third year grab him self 5-8 million (maybe more who knows) get a good money guy and live comfortably for the rest of his life, he has been very professional minus a few questionable tweets. Regardless of actual production he is always ready to play when his number is called! And for that I thank him!
So many ST posters had and have better NBA careers with no ACLs. Blair sucks.
He and his agent can go f themselves if they think he deserved and deserves anywhere near Matt Bonner money and years.
To paraphrase Jax: "[bleep] yo agent clown"
Did you watch Blair in garbage time last night? He made lots of mistakes. He just doesn't have the focus or basketball IQ you need to fit in with the Spurs.
According to some, all his mistakes are due to physical limitations and not his butthurt at ude.
He isn't the only one
Exactly what I think. Blair is a nice guy with no ACL and he is in a contract year. He needed some playing time to show his value for his, maybe, first and last "big" contract next year.
He will not have a long career, and I think the "no trade" situation is an absolutely terrible news for him and his future...
I wonder if his agent would have been paid a percentage if a deal was done. If so, then I understand why his agent would be disappointed.
Blair needed some playing time to raise his value for his next year contract.
His limited minutes with the Spurs (mostly in garbage time) will cost him, and his agent, a lot of money.
Is this real. cuz its not the 23rd....
The Blair hate is getting out of hands. Has he looked uninterested in some games this year? Sure, but he's only human. Everyone would be disappointed if they were once starting for le contender and now all they get is garbage time minutes. I wish him the best. Too bad things didn't work out here. I really wish he worked on his weight and jumper his first two years here, instead of finally seeming to get it this year.
