    I think one of them will. But, who knows... maybe KP decides this is the year to bring over the Playboy and/or the Bag Boy. If this happens - we might be running out of roster spots.

    This may have happened elsewhere, and I suppose it's possible, but Portland has never taken a player back for a third stint in regards to Steve Blake, and I think Travis would be better off looking somewhere else for a starting role. Plus it seems to me that Dunleavy was talking about retaining their bird rights, but I suppose he could just be testing them out before he makes any decision to release them.

    Outlaw has advanced in his career about as far as he's going to. He's a good energy player off the bench, but with Webster, Batum and Cunningham we already have too many SF's and even at PF, he's behind LA and possibly Pendegraph in the near future. We have to pare down and I don't see him as being so indispensable that we have to bring him back.

    As to Blake, he's clearly better than Bayless at PG and who ever knows about Mills. He's a safe back up who can play extended minutes. If he was cheap enough and we had no other alternatives, then I could see him back.

    Hopefully, Outlaw. But my guess is he'd rather seek his fame and fortune with another team that can offer him more minutes and shots.

    Outlaw definitely not back, we got too many other guys who can do his job for less money than he will be wanting.

    Blazers might want Blake back, but I think after being traded twice he won't want to come back.

    If Bayless doesn't pan out at PG, I could see Steve coming back to take those minutes. Then it would be up to Jerryd to beat Rudy out for PT.

    Go Blazers
