Ford: "Blair's knees have been red-flagged."
Not good news for DeJuan Blair. Looks like he had ACL issues in high school, and while they never affected him in college, NBA teams are scared.
He'd be perfect as LMA's backup.
draft dejuan blair.

starting to look kind of like a good pick
seems like he won’t be around for No. 24 though. His big knock was he isn’t big enough or athletic enough and he appears to be big and athletic enough.
I'm having a deja vu
Where have I heard about his knees before? Bwahahahaha.

Exactly what I was thinking
Remember last year when the Spurs were speading the “Batum has heart problems” story?
’tis the season for obfustication
hey, D-Blair can be a career backup to LMA
and play 10-15 mpg, extend the cartilage in those knees
(kind of like a “pitch count” in baseball)
works for me
He should play 20mpg
solidly. Even more after Joel is gone.

You're looking 8 years down the road, are you?

Only if that means
That Aldridge only has to average 30 minutes a game because Portland is consistently leading by 25 in the 4th quarter
I don’t want LMA “sliding” to center so Blair can play more PF (that reeks of the “Roy needs to play SF for Rudy to get more PT” argument)
Blair may be all that, but rookies get the scraps. If his knees hold up and he earns more PT down the road, then that’s fine. But I don’t trade (or choose to not resign) Pryz in the future just so some 6’6" guy needs more PT at PF
Having said all that, I’d love to have D-Blair. In short spurts. Bringing the beast
I'll have to remember that one

I would love to have DeJuan Blair
He is very smart in terms of positioning his body(For post position, usually against taller opponenets), excellent rebounder & using his length to his advantage.

Greg Odens whole body was red flagged but we took him 1rst overall .
Officer:Why did you kill your husband ?
Crazy Woman: Because I love too much!
That was a misunderstanding.
The MRIs were actually for someone else, a young woman who works for the team. The doctor told KP that he was looking at the wrong MRIs (“those are Christine”), but he heard it wrong.

Haha! Is Christine a man-child too?

MRI's don't really tell you much.
After my MRI the doctor said I had a torn ACL and a possible miniscus tear.
I woke up having had an ACL replacement, a severe miniscus tear that had to be sutured into place and having had microfracture survey. MRI’s don’t tell much. You need to get a scope in there if you want to know whats really up.
and here...we...go!

If Artest can say it, so can I. Broy>Kobe.
Hmmmmmmmm
Chad Ford started this rumor, so maybe we should imbelish it a little bit. Blair has bad knees he has a heart murmur, and that pesky wrist injury he had when he was 6 years old.
I try to help with everything," Fernandez said. "If the coach says go rebound, I go rebound. I work for the team.
""If I'm playing this game to get media and attention, I shouldn't be here," Aldridge said. "I'm here to play basketball, and do what I can do to help this team win."
His stare became blank. It was apparent he was back in that place, on the Rose Garden's logo, picking up Aaron Brooks as the crowd nervously roared.
