Spurs Still Looking To Trade DeJuan Blair

On draft day, the Spurs were reportedly looking to find a new home for forward DeJuan Blair.  More than a month later, Blair remains in San Antonio but the big man told Douglas Farmer of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette that he is still being shopped.

Hopefully, I stay a Spur, but if it doesn’t happen, life moves on,” Blair said. “They’ve got me on the trade market and they’ll do the best to get me in the greatest situation possible.

Despite seeing more than 20 minutes per regular season game in his time with the Spurs, Blair has hardly seen the same kind of burn in the playoffs.  The forward averaged just 7.6 minutes per game in last year’s playoffs, making him largely expendable for the perennial contenders.  The Warriors have been said to have interest in Blair but are unwilling to give San Antonio the first-round pick that they seek in return.
