DeJuan Blair referred to his playoff performance as an audition for other teams in free agency.
The Spurs have relentlessly shopped Blair on the trade market over the last couple of years only to find no takers, and the two sides are expected to part ways after the season concludes. He'll make for a solid, low-cost backup for a team that needs one. Apr 29 - 9:01 AM

DeJuan Blair - F/C - Spurs

DeJuan Blair sat out Wednesday's game due to a stomach virus, and he's questionable to play on Thursday.

The Spurs are almost at full health, minus Manu Ginobili, so they may opt to give Blair another night off. Either way, he's not a fantasy option.

DeJuan Blair - F/C - Spurs

After not being dealt at the trade deadline, DeJuan Blair was interested in a buyout before Friday's deadline, sources close to the situation told ESPN's Marc Stein.

The relationship between Blair and the Spurs has soured greatly this season, with Blair's agent expressing "disappointment" with the Spurs not trading his client for the deadline. Blair will be a free agent after the season and is highly unlikely to remain in San Antonio.

DeJuan Blair - F/C - Spurs

DeJuan Blair scored 16 points off the bench in Friday's blowout win over the Kings, hitting 8-of-12 shots with three rebounds and three assists in 24 minutes.

Blair has strung together two good deep league games in a row and might see more action with Boris Diaw (back) ailing, but this is his ceiling for the most part and he is only a short-term asset.

DeJuan Blair's agent "expressed disappointment" that his client wasn't traded before the trade deadline.

DeJuan Blair - F/C - Spurs

DeJuan Blair will not be traded on Thursday's deadline, according to Sam Amick of USA Today.

This is the third update on DeJuan Blair in past hour or so, so we've met our quota on him for the rest of the year. He can be left on the waiver wire in most leagues while Tiago Splitter is healthy.

DeJuan Blair - F/C - Spurs

DeJuan Blair went through a full shootaround on Thursday.

His name recently came up in a trade rumor to Atlanta, but as we stated, we're not holding our breath for Blair to be sent packing in a Josh Smith deal. This news makes it even more likely that San Antonio will be keeping him, which limits his fantasy value.

DeJuan Blair - F/C - Spurs

The Hawks have emerged as a possible suitor to acquire DeJuan Blair at the deadline in what could be a deal for Josh Smith, according to Alex Kennedy of Hoopsworld.

There have been trade rumors about Blair since early October and he's voiced his opinion about not having a defined role. He's playing just 13.6 minutes per game with the Spurs this year and with Tiago Splitter playing very well this year, a change would help his role. While a Josh Smith trade could also help his cause as well, we're not holding our breath on this rumor.

DeJuan Blair - F/C - Spurs

DeJuan Blair is unlikely to be traded, according to David Aldridge.

It was reported Wednesday that the Spurs would likely move Blair, so this one is up in the air. Regardless, if he is moved, it will likely be in a minor deal.

DeJuan Blair - F/C - Spurs

The Spurs "will likely move" DeJuan Blair before Thursday's deadline, sources told Yahoo! Sports.

Blair has reportedly sought a trade for over a year, and as a free agent this offseason has no intention of re-signing with the Spurs. San Antonio may have to accept the best offer for him prior to Thursday if they're intent on moving him, but other teams may be wary of his ACL-free knees.

DeJuan Blair - F/C - Spurs

The Spurs have reportedly tried to offer DeJuan Blair to the Pistons, according to ESPN.com's Chris Broussard.

The Boston Celtics, Miami Heat and Portland Blazers could have interest in getting Blair and all four teams certainly could use a big man. Blair would have nice deep-league value with some of those teams, but since he doesn't really have much upside with a lack of defense, there's very little reason to stash him.

DeJuan Blair - F/C - Spurs

Playing through swelling in his right knee, DeJuan Blair finished Saturday's game with two points, four rebounds and two steals in 14 minutes.

Blair's knees will be a point of concern throughout his career, considering his lack of ACLs, but this latest episode was little more than 'routine' swelling. He could play a bigger role with Tim Duncan (ankle, knee) ailing, but he should be viewed from afar in average fantasy leagues.

DeJuan Blair (knee) is probable to play on Saturday.

Blair isn't a fantasy option in any format and might not even play with Tim Duncan (knee) expected back.

DeJuan Blair (knee) returned to practice on Thursday.

Blair's knee injury obviously wasn't serious if he's already practicing on Thursday, so we're not too concerned about him.
