Blair has been on the trading block for the past few seasons, but San Antonio has been unable to find the right deal. Now that DeJuan is a free agent, he more than likely will be playing elsewhere next season.
If the Spurs can get a player rather than be left empty-handed, that would be great but as the report stated, the Spurs are not thrilled with the players on the Wizards' roster.
Taking a look at the Washington roster, there could be players who can can be useful pieces for San Antonio. Trevor Ariza would be a nice addition to the bench and could be an adequate backup for Kawhi Leonard. Not to mention he does have an expiring contract which could be used as a bargaining chip down the road.
There's also Kevin Serephin (another French player), Chris Singleton and Trevor Booker who could work in a deal but the most attractive choice would be Ariza for his abilities on both ends of the court.
What do you think Spurs fans about this latest news on Blair?
