    It's not like he's getting a max contract. Signing role players allows us to keep our core intact. Blake will be a role player

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Probably not, but the choice wasn't between Blake or a franchise-changing superstar.

    All you can do is take a good core and keep making incremental additions to it until you find an opportunity to make a major change. That may be a draft pick that pans out well past expectations or a young player suddenly flourishing or finding a disgruntled star that you can offer the right pieces to acquire.

    His last deal was a four year contract he signed with the Lakers and they only traded him to tank.

    As long as we're bumping old threads, this one's got some pretty good comedy value.

    HAHAHAHA, that's hilarious. Don't see how signing Blake would have led to any of that!

    You could probably win the lotto and it would go like this "well this is stupid! I could of won when it was at $200 mil! What am I supposed to do with this measly $50 mil?!"

    Oops nothing. They're only at 15.3 combined so far.

    Edit: Oh, I guess they're at 16.15 as of today. Still, that's still a $100 bet I'd have been glad to lose...if anybody had had the balls to take me up on it.

    I have to admit to being rather self-satisfied for predicting their point totals before they even suited up. Oh yeah.

    Kaman has surprised me, though, with how skilled he is. I really think if Aldridge went down for an extended period we could recoup a lot of his lost productivity by playing Kaman more.
