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.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By Panthers Addict · Posted

      I do think the rating is fair given how this unit hasn’t proven it with production. I understand you have to rank off production, not potential. However, our unit is also in a position to make this rating look foolish a year from now. We have 4 guys in the WR/TE room who all could legitimately take the next step this year, and catapult our rank. A guy under a lot of people’s radar after we took Tet, Jalen Coker. Mark my words, he will become the star of this room, and be the heir to Thielen.

      Exactly. You’d think 2-7 wins a year (in a 17 game season no less) since 2017 is going to keep us bottom tier. Every year we say the same poo like we haven’t been a bad team the past 7 years. Until we prove we aren’t a bottom dweller, that’s where we’ll stay ranked. God forbid we have OL injuries like 2016.

      Breakout 2025 Candidates

      What I love and hate about this team is it’s more filled with potential breakout players than ever before. JT, XL, Coker, Smith-Wade, Ikem, Trevin… and even Bryce are all guys I could legitimately see taking the next step. But the problem with having so many of those guys is that team success somewhat relies on them taking that step, and some are bound not to. That being said, I’m cautiously optimistic given our softer schedule, the way the offense clicked late last year, and the direction we finally have at GM, coach, and QB. Could see us as a sneaky playoff team.
