dejuan blair drawing major interest in free agency

[Knoxxx]

I wish him well and see him fitting right in on some low BB IQ team.

Could the Spurs do a sign and trade?

Could the Spurs do a sign and trade?

Theoretically they could, but it's highly unlikely they'd be able to pull it off. Blair isn't going to command that big of a salary, so pretty much every team out there will be able to fit his salary into their cap room, or one cap exception or another. Not much of a reason for a team to give the Spurs anything for Blair when they can just sign him outright.

Also need to keep in mind that if the Spurs are thinking about maximizing their own cap space, any player they'd take back from a Blair S&T would eat into that. The Spurs probably aren't interested in S&T'ing Blair either.

Blair will just go hit up another diamond store if he needs money, tbh.

[jimbo]

I think he'd be a good energy guy for someone

[Kidd K]

Blair never had a 30/20 game quit pounding this point

True, but he has a 28/21 and a 27/23. Pretty close.

we were pretty close to a 5th le. there's gettin it done, and there's not gettin it done, to quote Terrell Suggs

Nitpicking a couple points on a statline is entirely different from winning a le. They have nothing to do with eachother.

wgaf about blair. dude sucks and he's gone.

[MeloHype]

Next season your username is gonna be tradeforblair

[Marrow]

blair has had his run as a spur...he will flourish elsewhere for as long as knees will let him

[lebomb]

Never understood the hate for Blair, I actually like him. He will beast on other teams tbh.

Hope Blair gets a nice contract. I mean if the Knicks would pay Stoudemire guaranteed max money surely someone will throw a decent 3 year deal at DeJuan. Wish him nothing but the best in the next phase of his career, and I think he can put up some solid numbers with playing time.

This.

[TheGreatYacht]

I like Blair..In fact I bought his jersey and wore it to games.....But Blair's heart can't give him the 5" in height he needs. Good big men out rebound him because ------they are just taller.
I wish the Spurs could find a place for him but he will want to play more......Look at the playoffs... Good luck on what ever team he lands on.....

This.

I wish him well and hope he blows up stat wise. That way POP will start paying attention to the bench, Mills , DeColo, Baynes, DeShaun Thomas and play them more.
Good luck DeJuan.

This too. I don't understand all the hate towards Deujan Blair. Why can't we all just wish him the best? Dejuan Blair has heart and talent he just doesn't have the size. I wish him the very best.

[mudyez]

Only can hope the best for him.

[Obstructed_View]

True, but he has a 28/21 and a 27/23. Pretty close.

I think Pop pulled him from one and he got a bull sixth foul on the other.

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

Blair can play the game. He'll be a great regular season player for someone.

[playblair]

blair = 2 30/20 games................. re-sign blair...................

[timtonymanurich]

I would trade him straight up for Paul Milsap.

Yep, you're right. The 28/21 game was done in just 31 1/2 minutes and it helped propel a shorthanded Spurs team with Manu going 0/10 over OKC by a single point. Blair fouled out with 3 mins left, and RJ of all people hit the game winner that night.

But yeah, I remember that game still, it was a great game.
