I wonder if the Spurs are willing to give him another look this offseason. He had a decent year in Brooklyn showing that he can play well in a 20mpg role. The Nets are also rumored to be looking to sign Jason Collins, so it doesn't look like they will bring him back. They only have the mini mid-level exception to offer anyway.
I would definitely prefer Blatche over Millsap/Jefferson because is younger, longer, more athletic and probably a lot cheaper than those two. Another aspect that I like is that his offensive versatility allows you to pair him with pretty much every big on the roster. I'm not sure how well a Duncan/Blatche combo would hold up defensively but Splitter as a PF worked well enough so why not.
His advanced stats are also surprisingly good: He posted career highs last season in TS% and PER while also upping his usage rate. That doesn't happen too often, although chaning teams obviously helped there.
