Nationality aside, I see a player who barely belongs in the NBA.

ESPN's rumor section today mentioned that SA was just trying to figure out Blair's value, given his upcoming restricted-FA status and the fact that he's stuck behind Bonner/Diaw (has become 5th big). I think it's just SA's management team doing their due-dilligence, to ensure they have all necessary info available to them in the offseason, when it comes time to decide what they want to do with Blair (ie: trade at deadline, re-sign, match and re-sign, not match, S&T in offseason). I wouldn't read much into the rumor.

In 21 games with the Toros, Joseph is averaging 19pts, 5rpg, 5apg, 2spg while shooting 45% on all FGs, and 43% on 3pts.
And while yes, granted it is only the D-League, more than a few guys have gone down there and not a done a damn thing.
However, like the Summer League, DLeague tells you who CAN'T play, more than who CAN.
Still, I'm of the opinion that Joseph will find a steady role in the NBA at some point.

This is a guy who was a mid-first round pick talent until the news of his knees came out.
Not sure what transpired in SA to get him so far in the Dog House, but this is a guy who had some serious upside a few years back.
In the very rare occasions when he actually gets to play this season (he's on my Dynasty team, so I know all about his season unfortunately) he has managed to stay ready and contribute quite effectively. I'd give it a go if we could have him for Anderson.

He is also just turning 24 in April. He would be another young veteran with 4 years already in the league.

I don't disagree that the Spurs have great scouts, but that alone isn't reason enough to love a guy who hasn't done anything to show he can play in this league.

That's the difficulty in trading with SA; pretty hard to get the better of that scouting team/management.

I'm mostly ok with any trade that gets us a 3rd PG for the rest of the year. I realize we may be stuck with Lucas taking most of those backup minutes, but I don't like that there are no other options or extra insurance, given Lowry's high-contact style.

I don't see how you bring in Blair without getting Joseph. Spurs rarely "lose" trades. At least if we get Joseph our 3rd PG role is filled with a young player who -from what little I've seen- is perfect for the role. With Blair's weird health issue I would demand a second asset.
I would seriously consider taking Blair but not on his own. But who would we be offering them? Gray? AA? I doubt Bargnani fits.
EDIT: Nando De Colo has been playing well of late.

Basically anything you get from the Spurs is going to be a diamond in the rough. I dont know if anyone watched the Bulls get spanked last night by the Spurs bench but I did the team is so incredibly orchestrated If I was building a team I would choose Pop over any other coach in the NBA, he knows how to get his players to perform he demands respect and they respect him and they execute.
If you start your career in the Spurs system you can move to another team and take all those fundamentals with you and still contribute, they draft so well Manu Ginobli was the 52nd pick need I remind you.
