Steve Blake is saying his goodbyes and is leaving Staples Center.

I'll admit i used to despise this dude, but he really played well at the end of last season and for the games he was in this year.


Oh, and Kobe just sit out the rest of the season now please..

Thanks BlakeMamba, he always played hard. And drained that 3 pointer right in Dwert's face earlier this season.

 

[menacin methods]

So why did we trade Blake for 2 guys who also have an expiring contract?

 

[essential1]

Bazmore & Brooks for Blake.. Not bad

Tryouts.

Cap relief and tanking.

 My reaction to Blake trade

 

[mrdieselfuel09]

Going to miss Blake.

That dagger in front of Dwight will by my highlight of this season.

In before CP comes in and starts yelling at everyone for being sentimental

 

[yeezusdisciple]

At least bazemore has a cool haircut

He could be swaggy p good friend.

I think this is better for blake tho. His playing time will actually mean something since warriors are lookin for a deep playoff run

 

[VinMillerHearn58]

I'm going to miss Blake Mamba. Dude always played hard, and I know he will be more useful for the Warriors.

Good luck Steve!

All in all, its around a 1.4 mill dump for LA and they get 2 expiring guards to audition for a bench role next yr.

Hill for disabled player exception and that should put us under the lux tax threshold, I believe. Or would we still need to shed pau.

 

[finallyfamous]

You guys still need to get rid of Pau..

Send him to us for a future 2nd rounder. come on.

 

[mosk33toe]

Sad day...

Steve Blake was a favorite of mine, I can't handle this season anymore...

 

[00david00]

Salute

 

[andoneflip]

Good luck in golden state steve

If/when Lakers dump Jordan Hill, they'll be only $2M over luxury tax. Blake and Hill moves alone would shave tax bill from $11.9M to $3M.

Never forget.

Back in my day we don't know a player got traded until the next week.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

I used to be so high on marshon brooks I think the lakers will be able to develop him into a solid player. Does he count as a late 1st rounder?

 

[joecoolio66]

Good Riddance Blake!

Out of his 3 1/2 years in L.A., he had about 10 good games. Cannot forget the jumper he missed against OKC in the playoffs.

Won't be missed at all....

Top moments for me so far:

Blake over that child.
Swaggys 4 pnt plays.
Kobes nostalgic dagger triple in memph from 28 ft.
Pau vs GS for Philippines relief.
Farmars floater vs flop city forcing a time out and putting a stamp on it.
Wes' steal/breakaway in BK.
X over the Pelicans.
Marshall for 20 and 16 vs utah.
Meeks' dagger triples in sactown.
