Which team strikes out and would be interested in Blake as a consolation?

BKLN gets Durant and Irving, Clippers get Butler, Indiana signs Rubio, Pellies have Zion at PF, Dallas gets Kemba, Lakers have AD now.. I can't see Boston doing it - I'd love for them to want Dre though.

Knicks or Sacto would be our only hopes. I don't think Perry does that in NY, and Sacto doesn't need a PF.

With Dumars advising in Sacto - would they have any interest in Drummond?


If the Knicks can't sign any notable free agents, which is very possible, they are going to have to spend a large amount of money somewhere just to get to the cap floor.

Blake can definitely still be a marketable star in NYC. Wouldn't surprise me if they made a play for him. Would Detroit bite, is the bigger question in my opinion.

Could also see Brooklyn looking to pair Blake with Kyrie if they can't get anyone else.

Does Blake want to be here? If he asks for a trade I think we'd move him. I mean maybe he's happy getting paid $35M+ per year with no real pressure for the next three years. Writing is on the wall though - we're not going to be anything more than a 8th seed as long as he's here keeping us on the treadmill.
