    Steve Blake will make a fine throw in, in a trade this summer.

    Honestly, as bad as he has been I can't stomach just dropping him again. Understand this is business and not personal but it would have to be a sweet deal (not because he is good but because he is loyal and I would be fine with him going to coach or front-office position).

    I would really feel bad if he got traded again.

    LaMarcus and Dame have stretches where they go 0/7 but they keep shooting. Being a limited minute backup Blake doesn't have those chances to get out of his slump. It's been a bad series for him but he was a solid backup PG all year. Hopefully CJ can take his minutes next year with improved play but having Blake available will be a good fallback option.

    Not me. He's made a damn good living. And the Blazers didn't force him to don the purple and piss.

    I'm fine with Blake sticking around, but as a 3rd stringer who never plays, Earl Watson style.

    Blake is not a necessity. There are others. Frazier would be a better choice.

    I have no problem with Blake being next years Earl Watson on the bench in a suit most games. I'd like to see Kaman there too. Both at the last two rotation spots. Insurance players..to take the places Claver and Crabbe occuppied most of this season

    Yep, this right here. I'm all for keeping him around, as long as he's the 3rd string point guard.

    I hope he does just do the team a favor and retires and comes back as an assistant or something.

    You know what, Rasta--I'm going to hop onto the Lucas bandwagon with you. That kid's physical tools are absolutely sick.

    A 6'6" true PG with a 7' wingspan and 11-inch hands? Sign. Me. Up.

    Is 9.5 really that impressive? I just measured my hand and it's 8.25 inches and I'm only 5'9. Or am I the freak of my size?

    Blake is a third stringer now. Picking up his player option was a no-brainer.

    To me Blake was good at dribbling the ball but isn't that a skill we all could accomplish.

    Omg Mo Williams was straight buckets. It was a shame we didn't bring him back. He would have lit up the Memphis Grizzlies
