Daily DeJuan Blair (Indiana workout)

Indiana links all viahttp://www.indycornrows.com/Pacers workout profile and another great interview video(as linked in the titel)Nice profile by a local beat writer(who refreshingly admits he likes Blair a lot but has no idea what the Pacers will do)Another Blair interview with a local station (audio)DraftExpress "Word on the street":We’re hearing that DeJuan Blair is in pretty good shape at the moment, and he continues to have very strong workouts that are easing the concerns teams have about his knee. Blair’s draft range looks pretty steady between 12 and 16, although he will work out for teams above and below those picks. Don’t be surprised to see a team like Oklahoma City or Portland try to make a move for him on draft night, as both organizations are reportedly very high on him. My suggestion how to snatch Blair ahead of the Pacers and other interested teams: Reportedly New Jersey likes Omri Casspi, but doesn’t want to draft him at #11. We send Sergio, #24, #38 second round pick, and $2-3 million in cash (New Jersey is one of the teams in need of money) for the #11. They can absorb Sergio with a trade exception for Williams (was a deal to the Warriors I think). They need a backup for Harris, with Dooling being more of a combo and also their first SG backup. We draft Blair at #11
