    and who is "good" that wants to come play here.... This team absolutely destroys any semblance of "good" a player has had....... I hope we get Blake, and I hope this team tanks. We need an overhaul starting with the coach.

    I would take the chance at singing someone "good" this summer over the promise of Steve Blake being on this roster for two more years.

    if we tank, and we overhaul, why the fuck would we bring in Blake at 4 million a year then? Send Crawford to minnesota for Beasley. Cut Felton. Fire Nate. Go forward.

    Yes, I can see why you'd be hopeful of that scenario, what with the Blazers rich history of signing marquee free agents... it's practically tradition.

    And when we do sign free agents, we either overpay for them or trade them before the deadline in a lockout shortened season.

    the option or possibility is still better than just taking it away for a below average player.

    This is a smart financial move by the Blazers since they already have a warehouse full of Steve Blake jerseys and bobblehead dolls to sell from the last two times Blake was here.

    Something tells me Paul and Larry were pretty terrible at Monopoly (or any other strategy-boardgame) as kids?

    yeah, maybe they can fill the rose garden with the bobbleheads and count it as a sell out.

    I am reserving judgment to see what (if anything!) comes from this, but I'm not really enjoying the outcomes that seem likely...

    I would rather have someone like Wesley Matthews (who we signed as a free agent) than Steve Blake. Shit, you could spin blindly at the local 24 Hour Fitness and pick someone who is a better prospect/player than Blankey.

    There really is only one thing I can say: Pure garbage. I'm not even going to bother ranting. I can only shake my head.

    I do not believe Blake will be a part of that three-way trade. Portland wants another draft pick but don't want that Blake contract.

    Jamal for Luke would be a steal for us. Why involve the Lakers?

    They can't/won't trade Luke with Rubio out. Barea is a tweener and they have no real PG

    The question I have is.... if we're making a move for Blake, why not deal Felton to LA for Blake, as was rumored earlier? Keep the more valuable player in JC and see if a deal materializes for him tomorrow.

    But if we deal JC for Blake, we'll have him and be stuck with Felton. Sounds like a terrible idea.

    It's sad that it's come down to me feeling better about dealing Felton for Blake because I HATE JC for Blake. Thanks for beating me down, Blazers management.

    I'll reserve a little judgment but you are correct, if we take Blake back it's just more confirmation how screwed up our mgmt is
