    I can't imagine they won't exercise it.

    If the Bulls traded for him to cut salary, they might not.

    That's true, but if you were the Bulls, would you rather have Blake or Sergio? I think they'd hold onto Blake, simply because he's a vet and he has a decent salary.

    Isn't Sergio's contract guaranteed? I'm pretty sure it is. It's not a matter of either/or... it's a matter of savings or not in the aftermath of this hypothetical...

    I guess I conveniently forgot that Sergio is around for another year... :sigh:

    Dang it, I can't believe I screwed up the poll. I'm not smart. :)

    I meant Frye!

    I'm going to edit the poll. If anyone wants to change their vote, just lemme know.

    My general line of thinking is that if the Bulls trade for Amare, as is speculated, they'll need two things, a bit of cap relief and depth. Blake and Rodriguez are depth. Basically I figure the Bulls would need both to make the trade work financially, and then we let Blake walk for cap relief. Honestly, if the trade rules were met by taking Diogu, I'd be perfectly willing to take him instead. We keep Sergio as a cheap backup for Rose next year. Should fit the system well.

    Frye, well, no, I'm not enthusiastic, but a cheap big with a jumper would be useful next to Amare, and we're going to need depth. And cap relief. Did I mention cap space?

    For the Blazers, well, you get a quality guard at a rock bottom price.

    I'm for it. I like Kirk. I think he would fit in swimmingly.

    Phelps seems like he's more of a Sheed/Damon/Jailblazers sort of guy :P
