Blake on the same career path as Shawn Kemp. Both washed up at the age of 31. Teams are interested in Blake because they are thinking since he's in his early 30s maybe he can still turn it around and help somehow. But the problem is his game depends on his athleticism a lot and he's undersized for PF. He's 6ft9 with short ish arms and washed up athleticism.

Nah Kemp started his career and played into his prime relatively healthy. He came in early and was basically healthy for 10 years before he got to 30 and fell off.

blake started his career on the sideline . And throughout his twenties was frequently in and out the lineup. Kemp had a much more better career. Financially Blake’s career was a success but competitively he was a disappointment. He was a letdown in Detroit and ultimately a letdown in La despite a couple of wow plays.

If y’all fukking looking for defense jsut trade for pj Tucker. He’s been begging to play next to harden again

Idk why we're interested either but I do know he's spent time this past year working out with both KD & James. He wouldn't be in the convo if they weren't wanting it to happen, so I'm cool with it

Then again KD & Kyrie wanted Deandre and he's well done type cooked at this point

Guess there's only one way to find out...

If he comes here and it doesn't work out who cares, we didn't give anything to get him

Well Kemp for sure was less of a letdown than Blake. But make no mistake them Sonics were a letdown in multiple seasons as well. They blew perfect opportunity to win a championship in 94 or 95, losing in 1st round both years. And these were the Sonics that knew how to beat Hakeem Rockets. They redeemed themselves in 96. You're right though Kemp was no injury prone. However both got athletically washed up at the same age. One due to injuries other one due to being wayy out of shape.

Y’all keep talking about Blake. He’s not goin to help a team at this point of his career. Detroit fans have to be laughing at other canvases thinking dude is going to help. He’s shot right now. He’s Tyson chandler cheerleading status right now. Haslem night have more left in the tank

what do y’all think he’s going to bring to a team?

Brooklyn is the G.O.A.T. offense this ain’t Detroit.

His role will be to pass and stretch the floor he can pick and pop a lil bit and has a handle, the spacing is different for him to get to the paint, he’s depth in a 20 minute role he can still be something like a Mason Plumlee

Who would you say was better between Blake, Kemp, and Amare? Both career wise and peak performance wise.

Essentially the same type of player... 6'10 face-up paint attacking, super explosive lob catching power forwards... who basically became flabby by age 30 (give or take a year).

Each had a HOF point guard too (Payton, Nash, CP3) but ultimately either choked or ran into better teams in the playoffs.

Make a thread and throw Larry Johnson in there.

Amare was the most well round on offense. Like the other two had overpowering athleticism whereas Amare had some finesse to his game.

you could throw McDyess in there too. He was a similar beast before injuries. I’m not talking Detroit and spurs versions

I'd say Amare. He had the best offensive moves out of those guys. He was legitimately as good as Steve Nash in 2005 MVP run. He also gave Tim troubles in 07. His issues were him losing his cool like those stupid ejections in 07 and him punching fire extinguisher in Knicks years. But that footwork was far better than Kemp or Griffin.

Kemp was really great in 96 playoff run, then Sonics betrayed him and he got fat

I can’t stand this new rockets regime: what’s the point of this. I was actually enjoying watching the vipers and the gleague finals is over before the rockets next game.

i agree it is stupid not to let him finish his season out tho, but he probably disagrees with us lol.
