NO
Come on, all this talk of not signing is ludicrous. First, he and his family are set for life. Second, it is only 3-5 years, then he can do what he wants. He'll be what, 23-25 years old? LOL.

5 years of your NBA career is a long time.

He should do what he wants to do.
But it'd be pretty disappointing, and set a whole new precedent for 1st round picks destined to the Clippers, Grizzlies, and heck maybe Thunder.
Making millions in Europe wouldn't be bad...
I hope he goes to the Clippers and does well. Those poor Clipper fans need SOMETHING.

No way.
Blake has already signed at least two endorsement contracts, with others sure to follow. He has the looks, poise and personality to make tons of money in endorsements alone while playing in a major market like LA. If he walks away from that now and goes to Europe, he may not be nearly as marketable in a year or two.
That would be a HUGE mistake on his part, not to mention the bad PR and the negative publicity associated with such a move. Blake is a smart young man. He's not going to turn his back on that to play in Europe.

That thread gave me inspiriation for this post. They are seperate topics. That thread is about a letter, this one is about whether or not Blake should avoid the Clippers.

5 years is a huge deal in the NBA no matter how old you are.
