[EL PRESIDENTE]

Gangster!

 

[oldguy]

Good for Steve.

[Eastoff]

what do you think is the over under that Blakey and TrOut show up at some of the Portland Playoff games?

Travis Outlaw will be locked in a certain celebritie's basement...

[craigehlo]

He'll get a MAX deal with the Knicks for sure.

What's less than 1%

I don't mean to play, just watch. You think Blake won't even try to sneak in undercover?

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

steve's going to wear a mustache.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Wow, almost as meaningful as Damon dropping 55 or Miles dropping 47 on Denver.

Damon dropped 54 and it was a loss to the worst team in the league. Blake dropped a triple double in a blowout win against the champs.

No.

...against their reserves.

Both 0%. One 5%.

What do you think the over under is that Steve Blake comes back to the Blazers?

 

[BGrantFan]

...against their reserves.

Fisher played 30 minutes. Brown played 39 minutes. Just because you post something doesn't make it true.

Fisher is clearly enough to win games for the Lakers though, amirite?

Gasol went 18/17. Odom went 21/8. It's not like the Clipps played the Blazers tonight. Is it that hard for people to not take a nightly shit on Blake?

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Not to make excuses for the lakers, but they WERE on the road. Clips play pretty well at home.

Hah! That's funny right there.

 

[Minstrel]

Good for BLANKY

 

[THE HCP]

Hope this catches some GM's attention and he gets paid!

I'm tired of his nightly boxscore shoved down my throat, so yes. He isn't on the team anymore. He put up a trip dub in a meaningless game against a team who is coasting until the playoffs. Why do I care? This is a Blazers forum. Steve Blake isn't a Blazer.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Contract.

Year.

!

 

[KingSpeed]

I watched the replay of the game here in L.A. Holy crap, Blake was incredible. Looked like a top 5 point guard in the league. He was pulling up for threes off the dribble, getting good shots for everyone on his team. He threw an alley oop to Outlaw that resulted in a wicked dunk. Was fun to see both of the guys play so well. Of course, we had to trade for Camby and I don't regret but I'm happy for them and I think Blake especially will get a very nice contract from some team this summer.

What's crazy is that Steve Blake's last game for us was a win in Phoenix. He had 20 pts and 12 rebs. I hope we can make up for that to get the win on Sunday.

 

[GriLtCheeZ]

and I think Blake especially will get a very nice contract from some team this summer.

I believe both Blake and Outlaw have team options for next season. I'm thinking they'll keep Blake.

 

[southnc]

Nope. Blake's team option was actually this year. Both are UFAs.

The Clips do have their Bird rights, though.

Regardless, for the Blazers, the Camby trade was definitely the correct move. The Blazers desperately needed a defensive C and got one.

 

[mook]

I've long felt like he's going to get a long look over by the Lakers this summer, so this was sort of his audition. And he fucking nailed it.

As bad as Blake is, he's still a nice upgrade over Derek Fisher. In many ways, he's basically a five year younger version of Fish.

My prediction is that it's a bidding war between Portland and LA for Blake's services. He has a chance at a starting job in LA, but he likes living in Portland and he likes our team. Neither team is going to offer that much money ($2-4 mil/year), but I'm guessing LA spends a little more, and they land him.
