Anybody remember Steve Blake? Of course we do — hard to forget a player who signed with the Blazers three times in 10 years. The Blazers will be active on the free agent market this summer, looking to fill holes in a particularly porous bench rotation, and Steve Blake’s legacy may be worth considering.
No(!) I’m not suggesting re-signing Blake again, but there are some former Blazers on the market who might merit a second chance in Portland.
Plumlee has spent the last 3.5 seasons with the Nuggets, primarily backing up Nikola Jokic. Plumlee was often overmatched as starting center for the Blazers, but would be a better fit as the first big man off the bench for coach Terry Stotts.
