He would be a good pickup imo. But does anyone have a realistic scenario in which the Spurs are able to obtain him??? Nope. Didn't think so.
It's not unrealistic that nobody claims him, tbh.
We will know tomorrow at 5pm ET whether or not Blatche has been claimed from the amnesty waivers.
If no teams have claimed him, Pop should immediately call him. If Blatche is willing to do what it takes to be a true professional basketball player, then signing him is a no-brainer.
Nothing on the twitter feeds about Blatche yet.
Ya, strange, I have been searching all over for Blatche info, but nada. I just hope he was not claimed so the Spurs at least have a shot. I am skeptical he would choose to play with the Spurs even if a FA, but it has a lot of potential to help the Spurs.
Yeah usually around 4:05 - 4:10 p.m. CST someone would report something on the amnesty players.
yea im thinking a bid may have come in at the last minute & thats what the delay of news is.
Yeah. And unlike a guy like Martin, given the fact that his reputation is at rock bottom, he probably wouldn't complain if he was the fifth big, which he more than likely would be next season.
They should do what the Thunder did with Thabeet: sign him for two guaranteed years. Barring injury, Thabeet won't be in the rotation next season. But the following one, when they're likely to dispose of Perkins so as to free up more cap space to re-sign Harden and Ibaka, is when he should have a shot at a more prominent role.
The same logic applies here. Blatche could come in next season, play the good soldier role, begin to repair his reputation, learn the system, get the occasional game to strut his stuff (like when they give Duncan games off) and wait his turn. Then, the following season, the possibility exists that he could become the starting PF. It's unlikely, as Diaw will probably be back, but if they like what they see from him, I don't think there's any question they'd trade or waive Bonner's partially guaranteed contract. And it's not it's out of the question that he could wrestle the starting position away from Diaw, either.
Captain Blatche ego must be hurt after this.

Not sure, from Manchester, if this is out: Just heard Andray Blatche has cleared waivers after amnesty by Wiz. Unrestricted free agent now
Yea buddy..
now next step, see which teams Woj and Spears say are interested
oh. Glad i was wrong.
YES
Blatche could be a great addition to Spurs, better than K Mart or Scola.
Please, Spurs be interested. If I was his agent I would encourage him to sign with the Spurs for the betterment of himself and his career.
I wasn't totally on board with signing him for the minimum with all his red flags but I think Timmy, SJAX, and Pop can keep him in check.
You realize, though, that Pop will never play someone that brain dead ahead of Bonner, right?YES
Blatche could be a great addition to Spurs, better than K Mart or Scola.
I really hope the Spurs show interest and that Blatche chooses the Spurs too. This could be a huge lucky break for the Spurs (there is also a chance it's not a chance or if it does happen, he sucks), and is about as good as you could hope for tbh.
wow. want; low risk, high reward.
how much can we realistically offer him?
Not sure many teams will be interested in this guy. Celtics and Spurs would be decent for both parties. Other that I can't think of a lot of teams that would show interest in a nutcase. All young teams should stay away.

Future headline: "Heat sign Blatche"
Celtics, tbh.
