They played pretty well without Blake last year as well, if I recall.  I think it's less a knock on Blake and more, like you said, the spacing isn't fantastic with both Blake and Deandre on the court and the Paul/Jordan pick and roll spreads the court well.  But they were still better when he played than when he sat.

I guess?  I mean he's a FA at the end of the season anyway, so I dunno.  Another knee injury doesn't fill you with confidence, I get that, but until you know where the Nets pick is and have a better feel for the draft, the Boston package mentioned above still seems awfully light to me.

I think I'm legally obligated to float my Melo for Blake trade here.  Melo is a few years too old for it to really work, but aside from that, I think it each guy is a better fit for the other team.  Melo on the Clippers allows you to spread the court around the Paul/Jordan pick and roll while Blake's biggest problem is that he's not really a rim protector and he doesn't stretch the floor to the 3 point line and the Porzingis at the 5 (when that happens) takes care of that
