Free Agency:

Spurs should make a run at Blatche. Low Risk; High reward

Spurs should make a run at Blatche. Low Risk; High reward

He will be claimed before Spurs get a chance IMO, even if he isn't someone will offer more than what the Spurs have

Blatche is def not Spurs material, he's lazy, low motor, and has a low BBIQ. For the vet minimum though? You'd have to take the risk...

[Mr.Nate30]

he already cleared waivers yesterday. he needs to go to a vet team. and for the min. its worth the risk

[UnWantedTheory]

The kid is a headache waiting to happen but I would be happy if he would take the min. IMO the Spurs probably don't see a player with his type of maturation issues a priority as they are attempting to stay under the cap. I think we improve by trade or by signing a player like Kenyon Martin. I could be wrong & would love for them to aggressively pursue a player such as Blatche, but I ultimately don't see it happening.

Emiliano Carchia: Spurs are interested in Bo McCalebb but the buyout is not satisfying for Mens Sana Siena Twitter

All we need, another guard

Report: Spurs interested in guard Bo McCalebb

Written by Jeff Garcia | 22 July 2012

The San Antonio Spurs certainly have an abundance of guards currently on the roster with Tony Parker, Cory Joseph, Patty Mills, Nando De Colo, and Marcus Denmon to name a few. So perhaps the last thing the Spurs need to do is look for another guard, right?

According to Sportando, San Antonio is interested in guard Bo McCalebb and have recently offered to buyout his contract with Montepaschi Siena in Italy. However, according to the report, the buyout offer was rejected by Siena.

McCalebb has an out clause at the end of the upcoming season and is drawing interest from other Euroleague teams such as Fenerbahce who can offer more towards a buyout than the Spurs can.

Bo (5'10", 180 pounds) averaged 16.9 points, 1.3 steals, 2.6 assists, 2.2 rebounds, and shot 63% from the field in 27.4 minutes in 17 games for Siena last season.

As mentioned above, San Antonio has plenty of guards who can be on the roster next season so why the team would be looking at yet another guard is interesting if the report is true.

Many fans feel the team should be targeting big men, however, the team is in a financial pinch after the recent signings of Tim Duncan, Mills, De Colo, Boris Diaw, and Danny Green so acquiring a top-tier free agent big man is out difficult which makes McCalebb affordable.

What do you think Spurs fans? What do you have to say about the report San Antonio is after another guard?

I'm calling BS on being interested in Bo.

Stein says that the rumors have the Heat and Spurs possibly interested Blatche. Would be awesome for the right price. He will understand that it is a low risk commitment on our part and should be playing for his next contract. Not a waste of money or a spot for a guy who has shown he can at least put up some valuable minutes. Better than a lot of other scrub options at this point.

Marc Stein: Free-agent rumble that just dribbled across the pond: Heat & Spurs among teams to express exploratory interest in free agent Andray Blatche Twitter

Not a huge fan of Blatche but if we can get him on the cheap then I would be alright with it.

It's crazy how Miami is pretty much intrested in every damn free agent! For ****S sake!

Blatche has had many immature issues through his career in Washington over the years, and was finally released via the amnesty clause from the Wizards last month. Blatche stands at 6'11" and averaged 8.5 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.1 assists, and 1.4 turnovers per game in 26 games for the Wizards last season.

Things got so bad in Washington that he was booed numerous times on his own home floor because he publicly criticized the team early in the season. If Blatche can get his head on straight, he's still a player that could have some potential as he's just 25 years old. A veteran group like the Spurs or Heat could be just the situation he needs to reinvent himself.

This is a rumor at best, but supposedly SA could possibly make a trade with Hou which involves targeting Patrick Patterson. All speculation, but it might be true considering right now Houston has 25 players on their roster (Including Delfino)

A little sketchy in my opinion. This person in the know just happens to find their way onto a random rumor board but no one else its even hearing a small inclination that Patterson is on the block?

I also am confused how Houston would take back any bodies in a deal. Like you said, they are already over the limit (not quite 25, but more than 15). Do it could only logically be picks and cash.

This deal seems a little off to me and I need a little better source than a guy who goes by the name "rumorhasit".

[Imwithstuped]

I think the idea is to involve a third team and Houston would get back a pick or cash, I saw somewhere that they really do have 24 people signed, I had to read it like 3 times for it to compute. Here it is http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1...edition/page/4

I personally was hoping to get a bigger "big", but I haven't watched him play at all. This actually seems a more "Spursy" type of move, but we all know how unreliable Spurs trade rumors are.

Well the fact that Houston has so many big bodies, it's not entirely out the picture that they'd be willing to move guys.

If a 3rd team is involved, (which now the updated post says Toronto) the Raptors would get Blair and Bonner, Spurs would get Patterson and Livingston, and Houston get's Neal + Unguaranteed contract, plus whoever Houston would send to Toronto.

Like I said it's all speculation, but it does make sense. And SA is known for making deals that no one sees coming. They're very good at keeping things on the hush
