Pop: "Mr Prestl, er.. Sam..remember that night on the riverwalk with that Tranny?"
With all the former front office staff from the Spurs throughout the league surely CIA Pop has incriminating pictures of SOMEONE!Well, yes...but again..if you are a "salesman" in the front office...you say;
"now c'mon man...who you gonna believe- ME or your LYIN' EYES!!!"

hahahaha I was laughing so hard when I read this. Props to Pops
The reason seems to be that he's demanding more then the minimum. Hopefully he wont follow the negotiating school of Sprewell and AI. K-Mart is still good, should be playing tbh.
According to Hoopshype KMart has over 110 mil. career earnings. Hope he's been saving for a rainy day.
For this season/run, at least, my trust in KMart >>>>>>>> Baynes. If he's willing to add for the minimum and take Blair's place its a no brainer. Even though I'm not going to pass long-term judgement on Baynes based on his 30 seconds of garbage time per game, if we did need a 5th big for 5-10 minutes during a playoff game, I'd go Kmart > Blair > Baynes. He hasn't looked entirely comfortable and probably needs a full camp/summer/preseason.
Obviously Baynes hasn't had a lot of playing time. But in the short stints, he has not shown himself to be anything other than a physical player with a low level of skill. Maybe some of that is confidence, or maybe just lack of playing time, but there is no question that Blair is much more likely to be productive in limited minutes in the playoffs. I just don't trust Baynes. I know he had a good game against the Bobcats, but that's the worst team in the league...by far. I'm just not convinced that he can step up his game enough if Tim went down for an extended period of time. I'm more comfortable with Blair, even with his flaws.
@WojYahooNBA: In pursuit of guard help, the Celtics have made rookie center Fab Melo available in trade offers, league sources tell Y! Sports.
This seems to indicate that:
- Blair for Melo was never a possibility (as the Celts have just started making Melo available)
- Blair for Melo will not be possibility (as last time I check Blair wasn't a guard)
How long till some enterprising ESPN columnist writes an article on how the Celtics are considering trading for the 6'5 Dejuan Blair to fill their gap at SG?
Soon I'm sure.
Neal and Blair of Melo and Wilcox?
When I read "guard help" I immediately thought of Neal, but I'm not sure that's what the Celtics have in mind. The Spurs are so guard-heavy that there must be a way...
The deadline is tomorrow at 3, am I correct? If so, when does all the madness begin? Early tomorrow morning? Or is it today? I hope it's today, I love all the chaos.
If the Spurs want to attract their attention, then Nando+Blair for Melo+Barbosa would probably work.
I was thinking Neal for Melo straight-up, but I don't think the Spurs make any moves unless they also trade Blair. So it's possible that they move Blair for a pick and trade Neal to get Melo to replace Blair. I'd prefer trading Mills, though, if Melo is the best return out there.
The reason K-mart hasn't been signed yet is a combination of greediness and lazyness.
A) He wants the most money - so he's holding out for an offer beyond the minimum.
B) He wants a ring - So he's waiting for a good ring shot to come along with the money
C) He wants a nice city to be in - Miami, LA, NY?
D) He's lazy - he knows he can get the minimum from a contender (and likely the best positioned contender - Miami) after the trade deadline. Why do all that practicing and traveling with the team, when he can sign on later in the season.
He'll sign with a contender for the vet min, after the trade deadline. I predict Miami, because they could use another big man, and meet his other criteria.
Miami has enough bigs they just signed Chris Anderson.
It could start anytime. Could start right now.
Or it could start for us 5 minutes after the deadline (see the Brent Barry for JR Smith/Arvydas Macijauskas non-trade)
Maybe not this season, but he got all butt hurt when McDyess took his starting role. It sucks the Spurs had so many holes that allowed him to start.
In his defense, didn't the Spurs start to suck really badly when that happened?
Hope Blair doesn't get traded to the heat and then destroy us in the finals
They won six of the first seven with Dice. They then lost the next 4 without Duncan who had injured an ankle.
Lol I said yesterday steal Melo from Boston while they desperate.... Imagine Melo learning from Duncan and Splitter, his post up is where he needs more work... Already good FT shooter, decent jumpshot, blocker and soft touch around the basket
