    Seems like a pretty good sign, no? I was thinking about saying something like I'd love to see you on the team next year but decided against it since he's probably heard it a million times. We did give each other a casual head nod and what's up though.

    His parents live here and I think he might have kept his house here too.

    Unless he is playing for the Blazers then it's an in-season and off-season house.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    And people said that Portland has no major free agent drawing power.

    Blake is just the opening the floodgates. People are gonna want to play with Blake.

    He's not wanting to come to Portland. If he did he would have went to Whole Foods.

    That's funny because it was after church that I ran into Stevie this morning! It's a sign!

    I think there's a good chance Blake gets a call from the Blazers. He'd have to come cheap though. If Billups is healthy again, he'd be a good mentor for the young guards we have, especially on defense.

    He must be sure to get a good contract, you have to be rich to shop at Safeway

    He is 37, has barely played in 3 years, and Detroit did not pick up his option for 2.5. My guess he is done.

    Yes, there is. Cascade Summit area off Salamo.

    Blake lives here in the summer. I see him and his family fairly often at church.

    I'm not opposed to Blakey coming back. I think he's fine as a backup. If he'd take the BAE, I'd be down with that.

    West Linn? Isn't that where Chael "steroid king" Sonnen hangs out?

    Clearly this is a sign of...something. I think I will panic now! :MARIS61:
