If they were "really interested" I am sure they would have made a solid offer. Don't think the Spurs were asking too much tbh..
i disagree with the top, but i'm right there with you on the bottom. the spurs not only wasted a roster spot by keeping blair, but they screwed him over really bad. they know darn well they shoulda taken a late 2nd and a open roster spot. they must know greene wouldn't sign, or have no faith in a toro. maybe there's an element of pride involved? i bet it's just a case where valuing team chemistry has gone the tiniest of a tad too far.
i wonder if gasol and clark woulda been an acceptable offer for smith? spurs needed to dump blair.
Most teams couldn't just send back a second rounder for Blair.
yeah i do that's why i said open roster spot. implying taking on somebody that gets bought out.
man chump you are a hater
Who? That makes no sense. I can't even think of any team who has done that for such a low salaried player.
million dollar scrub x. heat jones. raptors pietrus, maybe acy if possible.
So, no one anyone wants and a worthless pick.
May as well keep him unless he asks to be waived.
i don't consider any pick worthless in the spurs hands
Good for you. Point remains, those trades just don't happen.
and a bought out "no one anyone wants" is an open roster spot for greene or a toro. without the headache of waived salary math.
those kinda trades should happen. that's what i'm talking about when i say squeezing the toothpaste.
I hate those sports twitter bots that pick up any name or subject and make it sound like they have a source, Sports Whispers...cc
you think you can buy someone out without waiving them?
Its better play scrubs like Bonner/Blair/Neal than develop DeColo/Green/Kawhi/Splitter/Baynes

has that changed in the new cba? was it ever a thing? i thought players recieved in a trade could be bought out and have their salaries not count against the teams cap.
Wow. So much fail in so few sentences.
okay so i misunderstood the waiver rules. yeah it's a small fail. "ha ha! drunktxlabrat is that guy. the one who thought blair could be traded for an open roster spot."
ha ha! so funny! yeah, everybody knows buy outs still count against the cap!
fact, blairs contract coulda been absorbed by a team with cap space. blair = cap space + roster spot toothpaste squeezed outta the tube.
my strong opinion, lewis + late 2nd, nzar/radmonovic + late 2nd, melo + late 2nd, etc. all worth more than blair. blair = a pick + rotation upgrade toothpaste squeezed.
i suppose next you'll laugh at me for coulda shouldas. the fact still remains, blair is worthless. his offense is easily replaced. his heart, not so much. but his defense, just doesn't exist. no amount of heart is gonna make up for the size and talent he's of his nba opponents. chump, you just don't realize that fact. it's okay, i don't think the spurs do either. i hope everybody stays healthy, so ya'll don't find out.
i'm gonna post grumpy about it for a week or so. it just pisses me off. it's like watching somebody throw away an unsqueezed tube of toothpaste. amendment just for chump...
yeah toothpaste is cheap and replaceable... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...

oh...
...um i can't finish the amendment.. it's too wasteful and ignorant.
I'll take the over.
He traded two players who were retiring and one who's shot. Save that horsecrap...
So that trade was good for the Spurs
Choosing Bonner/Blair/Neal over the young guys
sigh
