Seriously going to waste another year of Aldridge's prime as a fringe 50 win team and a 5-8 seed I'm so excited for next season
Might not be a sexy signing on the stat sheet, but I like what he can bring to a team as a bench player for cheap. He should be more reliable than Mo and he should allow players like CJ, Will, TRob, and even Wright to produce more. You know, since they no longer will have to watch Mo pound the air out of the ball for 23 seconds every other possession.
I knew this was going to happen in December when I sent my Xmas card out! g Sent from my baller ass iPhone 5S...... FAMS!
Lol, i am stoked about blake coming back. I love his consistency, his hard work, and his bb smarts. I wont be facepalming everytime he touches the ball like i did with mo
So, for those of you whose expectations are too high because they lack reality, let me ask you something. Can you buy a $100,000 car fo $5,000 legally? I'll wait.
Last year Blake averaged 9 ppg with LAL, ad 6.5 with GSW, for a season average of 7 ppg. Kaman has never averaged below 10.5ppg since his second season. Why is 16 ppg combined such a stretch? They would both have to perform below last year's averages to hit that mark.
I'm totally fine with Blake re-signing. I thought he was a good target to trade for last season, so getting him for the BAE is a nice move. We needed a better point guard than Mo. Someone who could play with Lillard. Obviously Blake isn't a star, but the kind of contracts that were being thrown around were getting out of hand, and we got him on the cheap. Plus, it sounds like he REALLY wanted to be here, which is nice.
Always liked Blake. He is a good system player - and his ability to catch and shooti is something that will work with this team. Add reasonable ball protection, ability to pass and being a hard worker. I am not a big fan of Kobe but I think his opinion on team-mates is something to pay attention to - and he was furious that Blake was traded to GSW last year. http://espn.go.com/los-angeles/nba/...t-cool-steve-blake-absence-los-angeles-lakers
yeah, what you said is about where I am at with it, would like to see a bench consolidation trade and maybe try to get someone like Thad Young or Henson if possible
Yeah... we need a scoring wing. I would deal any combination of Crabbe/Leonard/CJ/Freeland to acquire one.
