Blakey?

@ChrisBHaynes: Sources: #Blazers gauge interest of free agent guard Steve Blake and discover he'd 'love to come back to Portland' http://t.co/7Sv3raUXee

Wtf are u serious?

 

[Natebishop3]

Ugh... I'm not against Blake because I think he's an okay backup, but I don't know...... BAE maybe?

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

I like it if...

3rd stringer
BAE

 

[SheedSoNasty]

Bwahaha... Seriously? We should sign him and then trade him for Luke Ridnour later in the season.

 

[magnifier661]

He would definitely be a BAE player. He ain't worth more than that

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Steve Blake or Brian Roberts?

 

[magnifier661]

Blake because we get to see more of his hot wife

 

[OneLifeToLive]

He wants to be here...

 

[KeepOnRollin]

Didn't like Blake as the starter or playing heavy minutes. But Blake as a backup with a very small contract? Sure!

 

[JfizzleBlazer]

Blake would fit very well in stotts system.

Blake -bae

Frye - mle

Sign and trade Mo for carter (assuming you can sign and trade non bird exception players, I think you can)

Living in LA I watched parts of most Lakers games. I enjoyed listening to the end of games they were losing........

Anyway Blake looked very good at times and bad sometimes too. But hard to blame him a couple of times when they literally had 4 healthy players in a few of those games.

If we lost Mo I would be OK with picking him up with the BAE. He still is very competitive and hates to lose. He would be a "steady" influence for the bench.

 

[JfizzleBlazer]

Blakey is more of a traditional Pg that can shoot threes. So I'd think those that hate Mo would be excited

Sorry Blakey, you can't undo wearing a Faker uniform.

 

[TBpup]

Interest in Blake and Frye? How far backwards are we trying to go? At least McBob is in his prime.

Barrett would have a trouser crisis if Blakey came back.

Blake was one of the NBA league leaders in assist last year on the Lakers before he got hurt. Tons of teams would've loved to have him as a backup back then. Too bad for him he didn't continue to rack up stats with that joke of a team he could be cashing checks with Jodie Meeks right now.

I think I might prefer Blake to Mo though it's a good debate.

So I just realized Neil Olshey has been involved in a Blake trade once, but it was to acquire him.

I'm sure Blake would be fine as our backup. I felt before that he was suited as a backup. He can resume a role similar to when he was playing with Roy.

 

[Rhal]

Id love blake back if he is willing to come back cheap. Mo/blake/Hawes makes our second unit three point friendly

 

[Mediocre Man]

Steve Blake is the type of top level FAs we get here. When you're wrong you're wrong, and I was wrong

 

[cmeese47]

Fuck Steve Blake if he is the kind of FA we bring in maybe it was a good thing PapaG got banned because LA is fucking history.

I really don't get why you do this. Olshey is building a bench this summer, not trying to attract top level free agents. Maybe you disagree with that approach, but at least be honest enough to stop pretending that what's happening somehow is relevant to your well stated opinion that top players won't sign here. That may even be true, but what's happening now is irrelevant to that position.

So...

2nd string - Blake/Barton/Carter/ThRob/Frye
3rd string - CJ/Crabbe/Wright/Freeland/MyLe

I don't know if the Carter thing is likely, but the rest is not bad for a bench.

That wouldn't be bad, but I think the plan is more ambitious: S&T-Hawes, MLE on a good SF, re-sign Mo, BAE Blake or another experienced PG.

Come on that bench is not much better than:

CJ Barton Wright TRob and Leonard

At the very least by letting our young guys play they might actually improve or at the very least develop some trade value. That seems much better than giving 3 old scrubs 10 million to come in.

 

[Eastoff]

No thank you!

 

[santeesioux]

 

[ripcityboy]

I'd have taken him a couple of years ago. His skills aren't what they used to be.

Deal Coming Soon

 

[JfizzleBlazer]

Deal Coming Soon

LOL.

It's funny some posters like to troll when they've lost credibility based on past information they've posted/tried to break a story.
