the ? Jackson/Diaw/Mills last season.
Blair has little value. You can't trade someone who no one really wants.
How do you feel about it?

When you are leading your conference by 3.5 games and on track to finish with a win count in the mid to high 60s, there's no need to take risks at the deadline. If there isn't a clear value trade available, you stand pat. I don't know why anyone is surprised by this.
I'm fine with the Spurs standing pat. I didn't see anything out there that was realistic and worth the hassle.
Spurs are known to do more when players get waived than at the trade deadline.
oh noes
its the end of the world
Thankful. I really think this team has all the right parts to make another long run into the playoffs. I dont like dealing on "what if" or "potential' type scenarios this late into the season. Sure we can use a solid backup pg or another quality big but I just dont see anyone that can perform as well as Blair in the role of 4th or 5th big on the roster. As much as posters here like to complain of Blair he is actually a decent player for the role that he is in now.
Blair/Bonner/Neal are annoying
Glad. There was nothing out there. Al Jefferson? Josh Smith? Please.
a little pissed. I kind of like something new.
I didn't want the Spurs to move out any big pieces; couldn't expect them to make an impact trade with junk.
Yeah. but we really don't have another way of improving the team if things fall apart and we need to retool in the offseason. Jackson, Manu, Splitters big raise + 1st round cap hold. There's not a ton left over. Diaw and Mills are almost certain to be back unless traded.
It was a good trade deadline for the Spurs, considering all the rumors that opponents could be strenghtening ( Gortat to OKC, KG to LAC, etc ) turned out to be futile.
Last year was to year to stir things up, this year only assets (if you can call them that) we had were the forever Spurs Blair/Bonner.
You sound like a high school girl.
OKC DID get Ronnie Brewer, but still, good to know the Spurs compe ion didn't make any moves to push them ahead. No news is good news?
No one offered the Spurs a new backboard and a fresh coat of lacquer for the ATT Center flor for Blair.
Great point. No contender did anything of note. Viewing it that way, the deadline was a success for the Spurs.
meh.
You must have not been around last season.
I'm glad the trade deadline is over. I don't have to see re ed trade machine threads from most posters.
I'm not particularly happy with it, doing nothing pretty much commits us to this team for the remaining Duncan years (This year, next year... maybe the year after). Jackson's expiring was the last major trade piece that wouldn't impact us on the floor, and I was hoping it could be combined with future picks & prospects to add another strong piece (eg. AK47)...Seriously which core contends better for the next 3 years:
Duncan, Parker, Manu, Green, Kawhi, Splitter, SJax, 2013 30th pick, 2015 pick
or
Duncan, Parker, Manu, Green, Kawhi, Splitter, AK47
It is my opinion that the franchise owed TD the best shot they could get him, even if it cost us in the future.
No problems with doing nothing this year. I'm glad we still have Blair as insurance in case our beloved Bonner goes down.
It would be very difficult if not practically impossible to pay the latter core for the next three years.
if you are talking about trading Jax, yes I think we could've done something with it. but IIRC, Pop told Jax before coming here he wouldn't trade him until his contract was done. Also didn't Jax have a family crisis recently? I imagine it would have been a ty move to lie to him at this point. Basically Spurs were beingclassy
