It's impossible to say without knowing next year roster.
This.
We need to ship him.

True, Zach Randolph was a superstar coming out of college. Was sort of a no-brainer lottery pick for Memphis.
he's shown a lot potential on the offensive end. but yeah he defense is so poor that he's a liability on the floor. it's hard to know what to expect from him. i was hoping he would blow up this year. i don't expect a lot from him.
in my opinion, he's the only one of our young guys that has "blow up" potential. who knows when or if that happens though. i'd be happy if he and some other big either through FA, draft or trade fill out our frontcourt rotation next year along with TD & Splitter. and Bonner basically becomes the 5th bg. doubt that happens though. we'll probably see Bonner pulling 25 mins. again next year.
Yes but Pop never played Splitter with Duncan, so you have Splitter and Bonner out their, you'd rather have Splitter guard Randolph & Bonner guard Gasol? If Tim & Tiago played together regularly through out the regular season we wouldn't be eliminated IMO.
He matches up better than McDyess. I think that was proven.
And it doesnt matter. Blair started 60 + games into the season. He was statistically better than McDyess. We all know POP cant stand to see youngsters outplaying the vets.
We had to run to win. We changed our style to half court and it F'd us. Same old same old.
Dont do stupid things.
Blair has less ability and potential than Malik Rose. Players like this are a dime a dozen. Although Pop wisely benched him against Memphis, I can see him stubbornly returning to him next year. There might be a role for him on the team as a very limited minutes energy guy, but you know how Pop is with his favorites. Best for both the Spurs and Blair to part company IMO.
Why couldn't someone lose confidence in mr bonner?
Sometimes Blair's biggest problem is not his height or lack of a jumpshot but himself. He is an erratic player who has occasional huge games and then many below average ones. It's hard to say what motivates him to play well when he does, but he needs to figure that out. And yeah, he needs a jumpshot. Or at least to show some patience in the post in backing players in instead of doing his out of control spin move every other time.
Do you guys see a potential Larry Johnson-esqueness in Blair? Hard to remember, but that guy had similar height at least - although I recall much better range than Blair.
Larry had a jumper with good form and range (which expanded over his career and was one of the things that kept him in the league when back problems took away the athleticism that defined him early on), something Djuan has not developed yet that would help his game in few areas on offense. I got on Dwight for the same reason the last few years and at least he attempted to start banking. Him getting some sort of stroke would help calm him down on offense because he wouldn't be afraid to hold the ball longer than 2 seconds for fear a defender is going to give him space and take away his ability to get to the basket which is his only option at the moment with his limited tools and explains a good deal why he rushes into whatever he feels he can get.

LJ was a number one pick, and was a beast with hall of fame written all over him from the time he was in junior college.
Blair won't be in the dog house because he will be packaged in a trade with RJ.
BTW, LJ has range.

You're out of your mind if you think that RJ will be traded. Nobody in the NBA will take on that ludicrous contract for an overvalued player unless they are looking for a good chance at the lottery in 2012. The only thing that we can hope for is a summer season-ending injury for RJ. I don't want to wish that on someone, but damn dude...
That's what they said with Hedo.
