    To get this team a third all star caliber player, yes.

    We can trade CJ for him if he's willing to resign here. If he isn't, then no thanks

    If a colossal douche can win us a championship, I'd take it.

    As far as I know..Blake has played with a stacked roster most of his career and guess what.....no championship

    Not Blake's fault. He would arguably be our most talented player

    disagree..he's played big minutes his entire career with a HOF pt guard and never been able to lead his team to the finals...we don't exactly have Andre Miller to lob to him now in Portland...we're sort of an alley oop challenged roster as constructed and that's his game

    1 team each year wins a championship.

    Charles Barkley never won a championship. Does he suck? Karl Malone too. Guess we never should have been interested in them either

    I never said he sucked...he doesn't suck..if you see my early post here, I state that I don't like him for non basketball reasons but my last post is to make the point that adding Blake doesn't mean championship if you look at his track record ..he hasn't put a talented team over the top..what makes us think he'll do better in Portland?

    In addition to his much improved jump shot, and his rebounding, and his ability to put the ball on the floor against big guys...

    We aren't a talented team. He makes us have a big 3 if we didnt lose Cj or lillard in the deal

    No brainer. You build a better team by adding better players. I'd rather have him than Aldridge.

    Not sure he would be better if you cut his steroids to control the 'roid rage.

    http://www.nba.com/2015/news/04/16/nba-and-nbpa-to-introduce-hgh-blood-testing/

    NEW YORK — The NBA and the National Basketball Players Association announced today that blood testing for Human Growth Hormone (HGH) will commence under the league's anti-drug program, effective with the 2015-16 NBA season.

    As part of the collective bargaining negotiations in 2011, the NBA and the Players Association agreed to a process for determining how HGH blood testing would be implemented in the NBA. With that process now completed, beginning with the start of 2015 NBA training camps, all NBA players will be subject to three random, unannounced HGH tests annually (two in-season, one off-season), and players will also be subject to reasonable cause testing for HGH.

    If a player tests positive for HGH, he will be suspended 20 games for his first violation and 45 games for his second violation, and he will be dismissed and disqualified from the NBA for his third violation.

    What's the matter, never got into a fistfight with a brother or one of your friends?

    Shit happens. I'll take him.
