Kind of disrespectful to the man who gave Blake that contract


Blake said after the game he didn't see Ballmer but when asked if he would shake his hand if given the opportunity, he replied "I'm not here to answer hypothetical questions"


Yeah that sounds like you sure want to shake his hand bro

I think its fine, he gave him that contract, but he also said that Blake will finish career here and then he traded him in 3 months.
Contractually, Blake isn't obligated to return the handshake whenever Balmer initiates it, that's pretty clear.

Meh, comes off as sour grapes.

Clippers did what they should have done: not let him walk for nothing in return, and flip him for players who fit their new rebuilding timeline. Clippers were correct in retaining him, Blake was right for taking the max, and the Clips were right to dump him the first opportunity they could.

Whatever, I’m sure Ballmer won’t lose any sleep over this. Pretty petty by Blake imo, but not surprising.
