Is this real life? (Re: Steve Blake)

[Fez Hammersticks]

Crawford > Blake

Crawford's contract >>> Blake's

How does this make ANY sense?

Haynes:

LOL the L*kers are like, wait, we don't usually have to pay equal value. This will take a bit of time

 

[RoyToy]

Guy on BE sums it up nicely

This is like the icing on a cake that

Ron Jeremy would leave

 

[Mediocre Man]

A source has explained that the Portland Trail Blazers first option is to get a draft pick in return from the Los Angeles Lakers, and that the Steve Blake transaction is a backup plan.
Everything else is agreed upon and this situation is what's holding up this deal.

First smart thing I have heard all day

Annnnnnnd the Blazers will fold anyways and just take Blakey

I think more than anything it shows how inept the front office has been for that to sound smart

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

90% of the time, when details of a trade are being reported by the media, it's a dead trade.
Blake wont be a Trail Blazer again.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Yeah, why even put that out there? You know the Lakers would love to shed Blake's contract and Blake himself who has been Felton-bad this year.

He will be if Nate is calling the shots, which I think he is

 

[blue32]

bwahahahaha 14 assists in one quarter comin back to us.....lololol

 

[B-Roy]

Are you kidding me? Getting Blake and no picks is a back up plan? How is this even remotely a good idea?

 

[RoyToy]

This team is going to re-sign Gerlald Wallace and Camby

You know it

 

[MadeFromDust]

It's almost as if they're trying to drive fans away. Maybe this is all part of Allen's grand plan...to move the team to Seattle.

 

[HailBlazers]

This team is going to re-sign Gerlald Wallace and Camby

You know it

If we had a PG, and an actual offense it wouldn't be a bad idea.

 

[magnifier661]

Can't move oden because of their lease they signed with the city of Portland.

 

[MadeFromDust]

Can't move oden because of their lease they signed with the city of Portland.

It was more tongue in cheek anyway. But I'm sure a man as wealthy as Allen could find a way around that If he wanted to.

When did you start following this team? Of course Blake will be a Blazer again, it was foretold and it is written.

Yeah your probably right

 

[oldmangrouch]

Sonics had a lease with the city of Seattle. Once the team was sold, the courts ruled that the new owner could just buy his way out and move the team. The city HAD to accept a cash settlement instead of enforcing the lease.

 

[Blaze01]

This is so pathetic it is not even funny.....

So POR could end up with Blake, and not able to trade Felton, him as well.....son of a bitch.....

and still have Nate as coach who no matter how bad those two fuckheads play won't give any minutes to Nolan Smith or Elliot Williams (if he ever comes back from injury).....

WORST FRONT OFFICE EVER......

 

[Rastapopoulos]

What I want to know is...



...when are we trading for Travis back?

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Rumor:

To LA: Beasley | Sessions
To PDX: Blake | 1st round pick
To MIN: Crawford

Not sure what would be going to CLE but the Lakers make out like bandits.

Fucking Larry Miller.

 

[Nikolokolus]

What's old is new again.

Maybe they can get Kersey to come out of retirment too?

 

[MickZagger]

Steve Blake PER: 9.1

 

[RoyToy]

Is it even a good 1st round pick?

 

[Nikolokolus]

Is it even a good 1st round pick?

If it's in this draft ... then "probably." (as long as it isn't Paul, Nate, Larry, or Chad making the call)

 

[crowTrobot]

This team is going to re-sign Gerlald Wallace and Camby

You know it

wallace will likely opt in and because everyone knows that has almost no trade value. could just be stuck with him at this point.

i wouldn't mind re-signing camby for the right price.
