Funny those stats would be a blessing and a revelation from a piece of like BONNER!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So I will take the 6 pts and 14 boards in a game 7 over 0 f in pots and 1 rebound or so. SIGN HIM lol.
For a guy that wasn't even assured to be a rotation player, that's a monster performance.

I can't believe people are thinking he will be starting. He probably won't even be on the team.
lol..crazy profile pic and name.....
Well, they traded Nene for him, and looking at the 4 year/$44 million deal they just handed to him, you would think they expect to be able to play him more than 25 mins and be something more than a single digits guy.
Truth be told, if you watched that series, McGee was hit or miss. He either had moments where he did everything right, and moments where Karl had to pull him because he was pathetic and killing Denver. Which is kinda what you get with a moron with over the top athleticism. Kid has all the tools to be amazing, but the pea brain just keeps sticking out. It doesn't even look like a maturity issue. It's not that he's trying to do too much or trying to show off.
Now Blatche's problem is definitely immaturity. The question is if he recognizes he blew an opportunity in Washington and is ready to settle down and let vets help him figure things out, or if he's going to keep ing around and blow perhaps his last shot at a career.
For the minimum, it's a risk the Spurs can and should take. I also agree with Bruno that Dejuan should be out if Blatche comes in.
Comparing Blatche to McGee?
McGee is also an idiot, but he's clearly physically gifted.. any decent coach can make him a good player.
Diaw has always wanted to win? That's why he quit in Charlotte & has been consistently fat/overweight the last 3-4 seasons?
Blatche is clearly skilled, the right environment would do him right just as it did for McGee.

In what world is Blatche not physically gifted?

In the world where Blatche is *not as* physically gifted as McGee. The latter has a tremendous wingspan that makes him a unique shot blocker.
Blatche's game is more allround than McGee. Both are equally daft, while the former's character is of even more vile kind from his resume so far. And there have never been any complaints of McGee being physically out of shape, while Blatche had that precise problem last season.
I would be very surprised if the Spurs take in Blatche. He is the very anti-spur, character wise.
Dennis Rodman once wore silver and black, btw...
I live inside the beltway. Andray Blatche is an idiot. DO NOT WANT.
If you liked the Spurs ball movement last year, you definitely do not want that black hole on this team.
I'll take the chance on him. He could be a young Sjax ready to contribute big time on a championship contender.
People in NJ probably thought Sjax blew the chance he got and they probably thought he was on his way out of the league after they let him go. I'm pretty sure Sjax acted a similar way in NJ to the way Blatche was in Washington - not working hard enough, partying too much, getting caught up in the wrong stuff and not focusing solely on basketball. Coming to the Spurs really helped him a lot. Spurs need to sell Blatche on that.
Do not want
Prefer Birdman tbh
Birdman is a LOT older and will be losing his springs any day now, and still has his pedo accusation fight in front of him. According to a poster on this site, who's handle I cannot recall, the NBA has gone to great lengths to completely scrub him from their site. They wouldn't take those steps if there was nothing to it. His career could easily be over.
Dude will be looking to rehab his image and career. What better way than to have the Spurs on your resume? Have to do it if its an option.
They still have to prove he is guilty though.
Bird provides size and shot-blocking, something we really need. Blatche, while talented offensively, provides 0 defensively.
Plus, Birdman is not lazy and is not out of shape. Can you imagine having Diaw, Blair and Blatche in the same team. Whataburger will open 10 more stores in SA.
Age doesn't matter because it's gonna be a min 1-year sign. I think Birdman would help more, pedo accusations apart.
...
Terrible comparison. just terrible...
Sjax's problem was that he cared too much and would often get emo and have tantrums (as far as I remember/understand it). I don't get the sense that Blatche has that same exact problem.
But what am I saying?! Of course he's going to be on the team. I just hope Duncan doesn't get hurt if he loses his starting spot!
Lots of players would rather play on a championship team like the Heat for the same money.
He might get more minutes here, but that's not guaranteed since Pop plays guys who are playing well within the system. He might wind up behind some guys with less talent but more familiar with the system.
Then the at ude factor might come to the fore and that wouldn't impress Pop one bit.
is that still the biggest name the spurs have ever signed?
Don't think so. See one Dominique Wilkins circa summer 1996.
Blatche could potentially get minutes on the Spurs and even start. The guy is a good scorer, rebounder, and passer when he wants. That would move Diaw to the second unit. I don't believe in guaranteeing him anything but if he earns it he should definitely start.
ing yourself over a PF who shot 38% from the field. A big shooting 38%
