Steve Blake will make a fine throw in, in a trade this summer.

Honestly, as bad as he has been I can't stomach just dropping him again. Understand this is business and not personal but it would have to be a sweet deal (not because he is good but because he is loyal and I would be fine with him going to coach or front-office position).

I would really feel bad if he got traded again.
 
LaMarcus and Dame have stretches where they go 0/7 but they keep shooting. Being a limited minute backup Blake doesn't have those chances to get out of his slump. It's been a bad series for him but he was a solid backup PG all year. Hopefully CJ can take his minutes next year with improved play but having Blake available will be a good fallback option.

Not me. He's made a damn good living. And the Blazers didn't force him to don the purple and piss.
 
I'm fine with Blake sticking around, but as a 3rd stringer who never plays, Earl Watson style.
 
Blake is not a necessity. There are others. Frazier would be a better choice.
 
I have no problem with Blake being next years Earl Watson on the bench in a suit most games. I'd like to see Kaman there too. Both at the last two rotation spots. Insurance players..to take the places Claver and Crabbe occuppied most of this season
 
I hope he does just do the team a favor and retires and comes back as an assistant or something.

Okay, now I've done all of 5 minutes research, and I've decided that the player we HAVE to get is George Lucas de Paula. So now you know.

You know what, Rasta--I'm going to hop onto the Lucas bandwagon with you. That kid's physical tools are absolutely sick.

A 6'6" true PG with a 7' wingspan and 11-inch hands? Sign. Me. Up.
 
Blake is a third stringer now. Picking up his player option was a no-brainer.
 
To me Blake was good at dribbling the ball but isn't that a skill we all could accomplish.
 
I wonder if CJ or Meyers would have excelled against Memphis if Mo was on the team. Maybe Meyers........I have doubts that CJ would have ever touched the ball.

Mo had his strengths. He won us some ball games with his instant offense. But the bench still sucked when he was in there. It is possible that he shot all the time because the rest of the 2nd unit couldn't, but I would still rather have a PG in there that at least attempted to set up other players.

Having said that I think someone like Frazier would be a better option next year over Blake. We need his quickness. Blake would be a great 3rd PG
 
I'm disappointed CJ isn't playing Summer League precisely because I think he needs to work on being our backup PG. He would be very Mo-like. (Or Reggie Jackson-like.)

Maybe he knows this, and isn't interested in being anything but a starting SG.

0Oh No The Utube link is disabled and Draft Express is like an empty cereal box. We need a Brazialian with monster talent. I'll look him up. We have ways.

I think he would be happy to just stay in Portland. I would keep him as a third point guard beyond next season for a low contract. Vet minimum type thing.

He's exactly the type of grizzled old ex-point guard that becomes a decent head coach in ten years... he might just transition to assistant someday soon.
