    That tells you what Memphis thinks of Blake.

    It's rumored that Memphis wants to get rid of Conley because of money reasons. They're losing Millions and millions of dollars this season. They get to wipe off $4.9M in six months plus the money they would have had to pay Conley next season, and they turned that down. Steve Blake has little value outside of Nate McMillan's office.

    Or, Portland just decided to use Steve to acquire Camby. You're inferring way too much.

    Blake sucks as a basketball player. His career as a starter is over with. Nobody wanted him this summer or last summer. Portland's (Nate, actually, not Pritchard) the only team that's wanted him the last 5 years.

    Blake makes everybody worse around him when he's on the court.

    And that's assuming anyone turned down anyone. Lots of crap gets written, not all of it is true.

    We would have probably drafted Drummond if this went down.
