Marc J. Spears @SpearsNBAYahoo Cavs forward Omri Casspi was diagnosed with acute appendicitis. His appendix was removed last night.
If this is the list, then the Spurs may be better off keeping Blair because none of these will help much.

Priorities usually change when your old, hurt, and fat.
what about gilbert arenas as pg backup?
Arenas was never the same after bricking those two free throws against Lebron and the Cavs a few years ago. It was right after that he imploded. Don't think he'd fit here, especially with no time to learn the system.
casspi and honeycutt would both be more useful than blair.
ok, arenas is done, i am agree
i just rode omri casspi wish a buyout...and spurs always keeping an eye on him...
today he is recovering "appendicitis" in hospital
Anyone interested in Casspi better hope he didn't have his surgery at the same hospital as Varejao
The Blair-hate is tiresome IMHO. He's not a difference-maker, but he's fine as a deep bench big who knows the system and plays hard when he gets on the court. No need to waive him to bring in another non-difference maker who doesn't know the system.
Thunder close to resigning Fisher
That doesn't bode well for the spurs...
We're not talking about a player who is so good and has such high BB IQ that he could fit into the system and play right away--because none of those players would be available. No sense in bringing someone in this late who wouldn't know the system and therefore Pop wouldn't use him.
If there was someone Pop wanted to bring in so he could be ready by next year, then the FO might try. ? We're not using Joseph at all & Baynes sparingly.
So far nobody worth a look tbh
I'd rather keep Dejuan
that's what makes casspi, honeycutt, greene, or a d leaguer 3/4 so appealing. jackson aint getting any younger. diaw isn't either, and diaw green are just place holders at 3. leonard has shown enough injury risk to warrant some real injury insurance.
big is set with duncan, splitter, diaw, bonner, baynes. guard is set with tony, manu, green, decolo, mills, neal, cojo.
blair is dead weight. he's not good injury insurance. big is filled, and the spurs need more depth at 3. another diaw, with a little better defense and rebounding, would hit the spot.
And you think such a player is sitting around unemployed?
yes. there is a gem in the d league waiting for nba minutes. there also woulda been one in the trade market.
if you're gonna put somebody in when injury hits. it should be somebody with potential to surprise. we know what blair is, and it aint what we need.
A Diaw with better rebounding and defense?
No.
i'm not sure what this means. if i need a goalpost moved i'd call on baynes over blair. if you're talking about me moving my goalpost to suit your argument. well yeah, because my bad i wasn't clear enough in the first place. If there was someone Pop wanted to bring in so he could be ready by next year, then the FO might try.
potential diaw, with better defense and rebounding. i don't see why casspi couldn't be that. good all around game. half a season of experience. a full playoff experience. then training camp and preseason.
Well, since such a player doesn't exist, this entire discussion is moot.
surely there is an unsigned d leaguer that matches the discription
