Pounding The Rock, a San Antonio Spurs community

Apparently, Krasnye Krylya only wanted DeJuan to help them qualify for Russia's main league and Eurochallenge. Now he's free to sign somewhere else. I can think of a French point guard familiar with his skills who might want to have him as a teammate. Take the hint, Tony

Woj doesn't specify a team, but I'd imagine it almost has to be CSKA or Khimki. This would seem to be a positive development for those worried about Beast's physical fitness after last year's infamous weight gain/benching. Update: Krasnye Krylya is the team. Definitely not on my radar. We'll try to have regular international updates while the lockout is in place, but getting info for this team might be a bit difficult.

Apparently Jeff is smitten with Blair as much as we are. He even calls him The Beast.

Blair is getting the (rookie)Duncan treatment from the Spurs coaching staff. So, what are the results of this approach? See for yourself.

Samr over at SpursTalk created this site. The awesomeness was just begging to be shared.

Get your training camp video fix. Ian, Dejuan, and a look at the Spurs's practice from today(the main link above). Ian Mahinmi: [link] Dejuan Blair: [link]

Sounds like Yawn had some inside info on how to Bust Thabeet. Instead, Blair sat out the second night of a back-to-back. He left Thabeet-busting duties to Mahinmi. Blair did give Mahinmi some advice. "He told me to go at him and get into his chest," Mahinmi said. "He likes to jump, so pump-fake and all that. It was good advice."
