Not sure if this was already posted: This is being reported in Miami and RealGM http://blogs.sun-sentinel.com/sports_basketball_heat/2009/09/at-a-personnel-turning-point.html http://www.realgm.com/src_wiretap_archives/61448/20090905/blake_might_be_an_option_for_heat/ The question is will Portland send Blake away to give Bayless more playing time, and take the risk of losing one of the better shooters and passers on the team.
I was just about to post this article. Anyway, the Miami Heat really don't have much to choose from. The future could be Bayless but Blake is probably the best backup PG in the League (or close to). I'm a fan of buy low-sell high, I'd like to expand this deal to grab Beasley. If he ever gets his shit together he could be a force at the 4/3.
Please no more trade rumors. Good lord. Blake for Beasley? Come on. And we are not going to "expand" the deal. Please for the love of God. STOP.
LOL. Trade him for Haslem. If you are going to move him, get something we need out of it. I guess if Kp is going to move him. Move him to a place he and wife wouldn't mind living.
If we were going to let Blake go for nothing, we would have let him walk this summer and used the cap space.
Doubt KP wants anything Miami can offer, and it would make more sense to give them Miller than Blake.
I agree. What would be the logic in moving him *now* just for cap relief? We would be taking a huge gamble on Bayless, while gaining nothing that would help the team contend.
If JB was really going to be our PG of the future (very doubtful), then a trade makes sense. But since he;s not, trading Blake makes no sense to me.
I can't think of a better b/u PF for us to land than Haslem. I would love to have this guy coming off the bench. Problem is he's Miami's starting PF and they are so thin in the front court. I don't know if Cunningham or Pendergraph would be enough to package with Blake.
I've lost all faith in KP if he can't get this done! He hasn't done anything at all to improve the Blazers and I for one am losing patience.
