    The Miami Heat have
    finally hit their stride as they won their last seven games before the All-Star
    break, but the team still needs some depth in their front court and a deal
    before the NBA trade deadline could help them and give them a great shot at
    winning another le.

    ESPN has reported that the team is looking
    at DeJuan Blair from San Antonio and the deal makes sense for several reasons.
    First and foremost is Blair would give the Heat some good minutes off the bench
    and a player with some playoffs experience.

    The 23-year-old is playing just 14 minutes
    per game for the Spurs, but still is averaging
    over five points and nearly four rebounds in limited action. Blair would also
    come at a cheap price, something Miami needs as they have limited options to
    deal and not much money under the salary cap.

    Blair would give the Miami Heat a player
    that can play both forward spots and a young talent that can help the franchise
    for several years and if the price is right, look for a deal between two of the
    top teams in the NBA in the next couple of days.

    Um, they obviously just looked at his height and thought he must be a SF?

    Would probably be something like Blair for Rashard Lewis + 2nd round pick.

    Mike Miller? James Jones? Both are above average shooters. I'd trade Blair for Miller straight up if that were possible.

    I guess I would take Miller. Trade doesn't really make us better though. I always like Blair against OKC, I wish Pop did.

    Norris Cole? Not sure they have many assets the spurs would be interested in, unless it's a first round pick I suppose. Would the Spurs really want to help a team that they may see in the finals? A Blair LBJ pick N Roll would be deadly.

    i could see miller, jones, or lewis in the trade.

    as we might be trading Sjax. we will need another SF.

    could we see multiple trades?

    I read in a separate article that it would be James Jones. Surely we can do a little better than that though.

    I'd be fine with a 1st round pick, they still have theirs right? The Spurs could wind up making a move on draft day, SA's and MIA's 1st could get them a better pick somewhere around 20 or maybe even lower if they throw in another player.

    For what Blair does and what he's paid, I think we should just keep him. He's an end of the rotation hustle guy. He gets baskets here and there. We should just keep him. Unless he's packaged with Jackson or Splitter, the guy we get back for him will be at the end of the bench too. We might as well keep him since he already knows the system. And it's not like he's been awful. He's getting paid like $1 million/year. Sorry, we can't have 2 all-stars deep at every position.

    Same thing with Danny Green, what more do you want from him?

    Sounds like a great deal to me. Tbh, at this point i dont think trading blair for another 9-10 player in the rotation would do anything for the spurs..But a better pick next year would be awesome.

    First off, still laughing at the Heat getting a player "that can play both forward positions"
    Secondly, we can't get Mike Miller. Salaries don't work. Miami is also expected to amnesty Miller this summer. If the Spurs really wanted Miller they'd just push for him during the offseason, not trade for him and his current MLE salary.

    Third, I don't see the point of dealing Blair for a shooter like James Jones. We are jammed as it is with shooters, like Green, Neal, Mills, not to mention Manu and Kawhi also manning the wings.

    If we are to take a player and not a pick, Lewis wouldn't be a bad option. Can play the stretch 4 better than bon bon tbh and is a solid rebounder for his size.

    I'd prefer a pick, and a Miami first rounder could be paired with ours to push us into the lower 20's to draft a big that will replace Blair anyway.

    x2. i have a hard to speculating what the offer could even be.

    battier maybe, but that requires bonner for cap requirement.

    james jones or reshard lewis?... yuck!

    norris cole?... yeah cause decolo, mills, and cojo really deserve a slap

    i can't make sense of miami's pick situation, but my best guess. basically cleveland is waiting to take the best possible miami 1st. so miami can offer their late 1st or 2nd? or philly's 1st this year. but phillys pick would have to be 15 or later.

    i'm thinkin james jones and phillys 1st is the spurs interest.
