DeJuan Blair?

DeJuan Blair's name has been thrown out their many times now. Rumors is that he'll be traded at some point this season. There is almost no chance of this kid being with the Spurs by the end of next season.

Blair is a good young Center/Power Forward that has falling off the Spurs depth chart. He averaged 8.5PPG and 6.4RPG in 20.2MPG in his first three years. Im not sure what and how much it'll cost to make a trade for this kid, but he would be a real nice piece to add to this young team toward the future. As much interests as we showed in trying to sign Carl Landry (Golden State), why are we not showing any interest in a kid like Blair. Well, I hope we do at some point.

Yall thoughts?

After various surgeries in high school, Blair was left without any anterior cruciate ligaments in his knees.[4]

On June 25, 2009 Blair was drafted by the San Antonio Spurs in the second round with 37th overall pick. His stock fell because of questions surrounding his durability and knee surgeries. Blair signed with the Spurs within weeks of the draft on July 17.[11]

It's not much of a secret. He's never averaged more than 21 minutes per game. He still seems to be a productive player though. Would be worth acquiring if the cost is right.

    • Doubling tripling and quadrupling down on this subject in defense of the pick is reminiscent of a certain mindset that has overtaken the political world. This conversation will become less contentious and dragged out to the point of becoming a dead beaten horse if rational minds can simply agree that we made a mistake missed on a potential franchise center and we will learn from it. All this coping is unnecessary.
    • Here in lies the rub that the supporting posters continue to ignore. He wasn’t a 2nd round pick in the 2025 class, especially with an ACL tear. It was a dumb pick for any GM who looks ahead to determine values. C and CB were much better values than an injured RB in 2024. If a RB isn’t even playing much in 2024, you have to compare him to 2025. We’re beating a dead horse but only because the defense of the pick is almost comical at this point. We’ve made a ton of poo picks and moves/non trades while Morgan was GM and the assistant GM. It happens, we don’t have to jump through hoops to act like we just had some really bad luck. The 2025 draft class is unknown so far but damn it felt way better afterwards for the first time in a long time. Embrace the potential and stop stamping guaranteed on the box of poo of the 2018-2024 drafts. We are were we aware because of them and 2025 has to hit so we can get past the 7 win max in 7 year hurdle. Also, “flashed his talent” isn’t 9 carries for 22 yards. His one reception for 18 yards isn’t a flash with 11 other touches for 27 yards. He hasn’t proven anything. We have no idea if he’ll contribute in 2026.
    • Oh for those tired of the Mannings I have bad news, Peytons son Marshal already has college teams after him and he isn't even in HS until this fall...   I'd wager we have two Mannings in the NFL in 2030
