Blair is only going in order to bring the Spurs back down below the tax. They are over now that they've signed Baynes. I would say it's about 95% sure that they will not fill that 15th spot, other than maybe a revolving series of 10 day auditions from the d-league. If one of them panned out, they just might sign a first year minimum contract ($487K) that would barely fit under the tax. Another veteran minimum contract would push them over the tax again, so someone like Greene would be doubtful, barring further salary reduction trades. Just dumping Blair isn't enough.
Trade Blair and Neal for picks or a a player. Sign Delonte West.
at almost 4 million next season, Bonner is most likely not tradeable.....so he will have to be released in the offseason, if we are choosing to move on from him.
Blair has trade value, with the expiring contract. Neal's contract next year, 1.1 million, is very reasonable for a guy with his shooting skills. That gives him trade value.....as a team can use him this year, then use him next year and decide whether to re-sign him or use his expiring contract in a trade. Jackson also has an expiring contract, but it could be difficult to match salaries, as he makes 10 mill.
I don't necessarily want to lose Neal, but if it is beneficial for the long term success of the Spurs, then so be it. If there is a way to use Neal and Blair in a trade to get an extra pick or two, that would be ideal, as I doubt we would get a player of any quality in return.
Bonner's contract is partially guaranteed (1m to be exact). He can be moved easily or SA can simply buy him out and let him go.
Probably the biggest upside if Blair gets traded is never hearing Bill Land say "The Dancing Bear" ever again.
For a late draft pick though, he was still pretty damn good for a year or two. At least as compared to his expectations going in. And if Blair ultimately gets traded for a draft pick (or two) then he's going to have an impact on the Spurs that far exceeds his own shelf life. And in that regard, he will have far exceeded expectations, and been a valuable player to the Spurs.
Ive seen Blair play lately. He looks well enough to play with the second string. He must really be in Pops dog house or something. Blair passes tbe ball better than some pgs in the league. Does anyone know the real low down on his pt being cut less to nuttin? I meqn I know he puts up circus shots like he's crazy but what gives?
He went 37. Thats not really that late, in fact, I'd consider it early 2nd.
A late draft pick is someone like Nando De Colo (53) or Manu Ginobili (57). Or better yet, Robert Sacre (60).
Taj Gibson was a big steal around that part of the draft, too.
Kidding aside, Are the Spurs getting rid of this clown or not??
we should offer him and a 2nd to the rockets for white. we don't really need him, he could just play home games. i don't want to see the spurs add another point guard like i've been reading all these people talking about. we won't need a big if we keep bonner and add baynes. green, jackson, and leonard are having tough years injury-wise. why not add some insurance for them and meet the point guard issue halfway?
