*Sigh* Lakers are being so desperate. It's ridiculous. Sometimes I feel ashamed being a Lakers fan.

As a Blazer fan I don't love this move but it was only for the LLE on a 1 year + 1 year PO deal so I don't think there's much to complain about this signing. Obviously Blake isn't gonna make the Blazers bench that much better, I've seen 2 stints of him here which have been enough for me to realize he won't be a night and day difference between the Blazers winning and losing. There are other options I'd take ahead of Blake but ultimately he's better than nothing. While I don't think Blake is better than Mo Williams between Kaman and Blake our bench has improved and we will certainly have more depth to fall back on as a whole than we did last season.

I'm surprised at some of the negative posts here. This is a good pickup at about 2 mil per. Blake is is a good 3pt shooter and can run the floor. He's a pass first PG and will get the rest of the bench involved, solving some of the ball movement issues that the Blazers bench had last year. Blake won't jack up as many ill advised shots as Mo Williams did.
