    Insurance in case they lose Mo Williams?

    So they are replacing Mo Williams with Blake? That looks like a downgrade to me.

    Seriously? Blake looks like he's about done; he somehow got worse last year when he went from the Lakers to GSW despite being on a much better team. Barring a dramatic resurgence at age 34 he's just another body.

    I don't think he has much left to offer. He couldn't get off the bench in the playoffs for GS. I don't agree with the two moves Portland has made this offseason.

    Full MLE on Chris Kaman? ***barf*** They should've thrown that at Jordan Hill and gotten an energy big that can play either PF or C without being a complete waste on defense.

    What they really need is another wing, behind Mathews and Batum is absolute crap. A CJ Miles type would've helped them a lot.

    Steve Blake > Chris Bosh

    They haven't said discussed his contract, but I'm guessing yeah.

    Didn't Kobe try to recruit him to stay? He's 0 for 2 and looking at 0 for 3 if Pau leaves

    He played well in Portland. I think he'll be a good fit again.

    Steve Blake's on the move again. He's like a mercenary, a hired hand. The list is short for teams he hasn't played for.

    My friend that is a hard-core Blazers fan is ticked off about Kaman and Blake. Looks like another wasted offseason for Portland.
