    "Blake you have one job, okay two jobs, injure Lebron and Davis if we play against them in the playoffs."

    Hey Neil nap time is over

    I would bet a lot of money he isn’t coming to Portland btw.

    *Griffin, 31, has interest from most of the NBA's top playoff contenders and is expected to make a decision on his next team after conversations with prospective teams, sources said.

    Wonder which playoff contender isn’t interested hmmm wonder who? Too bad Blake isn’t related to Dame.

    Does Blake come with the Melo baggage about forcefeeding him minutes? I'd love to sign him without any stipulations about role and legacy and whatever other bullshit. I think he can still play on the right team as a roll man who can make great reads and also initiate offense with shooters around him. But if he comes with the expectation of restoring his value by playing him 30 mpg regardless of how he's performing, I'd look elsewhere.

    He's shooting 36% from the floor. He's not a difference maker, and not worth getting upset over the Blazers passing over him.

    This is Batum all over again. What a coincidence that his best game this season came against the best team. I’d be more surprised if he didn’t play well with his new team.

    The time for getting a big for the rest of the season has come and gone. If Nurk and Giles are still out after the all-star break we just need to get a guy on a 10 day that is big enough to not leave us totally exposed when Kanter goes to the bench. Griffin makes no sense. Whoever said he could start over anyone that we're starting right now is hilarious.

    And yet he is playing 31 minutes a game. Interesting.

    I just don't see it. If you are bringing him in it is to replace Melo and I don't see that happening, not sure why they would do it with Nurk back right around the corner. Unless the Blazers are planning on trading, Roco or Melo not sure where he would fit in?

    I would rather have Melo than Blake.

    And if Blake is sand bagging for Detroit and he magically is good again, where do you put RoCo? Small forward? Can he play small forward at this point in his career?

    Apparently, many of you are not happy with our 28th ranked defense, and want to go for 30th!

    If we obtain him, Terry will feel compelled to play him.

    Watch some video on him, he can't move. He sucks.

    where was it reported that boogie had every playoff contender interested? Actually, I haven’t seen one team reported to be interested by any of the big reporters. Blake just got bought out half hour ago and six specific teams have already been mentioned by Woj and Stein.
