Just in case Blake reads this forum, he deserves his own thread for his amazing first quarter tonight. Unbelievable. Fucking unbelievable. That was so fun to watch. Joel set the team record for rebounds in a game last season (also against the Clippers). Blake sets a record tonight. We got a great team. Go Blazers!!!!
Great game for Blake tonight especially that first quarter. I have a question. If we denounce(not sure if this is the right word) Blake before July and sign a FA is there anyway we could sign Blake back before the season starts?
Blake was amazing. Everyone in my section looked up at the stat board and was shocked to see him with 14 asts after the first. We all wanted him to get 20! Oh well, Blake was great and deserves the accolades for this game.
Renounce. Portland can re-sign Blake if they have cap space. Renouncing Blake means losing his Bird rights, so Portland couldn't go over the salary cap to re-sign him.
Thanks I knew Denounce wasn't right but couldn't think of renounce. Well that doesn't help us get him back I guess. We would probably use all or almost all our cap to sign a FA. I know Blake and his family loves it here. So, I would think even if we renounce Blake he would sign back with us but not if we can't hardly offer him anything.
Not for nothing that Blake's performance was against the Clips at the RG. Remember the last time these two teams met here? Nice to see Blake bounce back from what most of us called a "choke" job. (yeah, I rode him pretty good after that game . . . and don't try and pretend like I"M THE ONLY ONE - everybody wanted to choke the guy out that night)
