Hard to see how we can expect to get a quality backup point if a guy like Blake is looking for 6 million a year.Milwaukee is only offering Mo Williams 8 million so it's hard for me to see how Blake is worth six...Excluding the fact that he and BK are the only quality point guards available.I certainly don't blame him for asking.How many times in his life is a guy like Blake going to get the oppurtunity to shake down an NBA team for 30 million dollars.

Source: Blake seeks $6 million

Steve Blake's availability to the Nuggets next season hinges on a number of factors, and he could return if all things fall into place.
According to a league source, Blake, who is reportedly seeking a full mid-level exception - expected to be $6 million - is not out of the Nuggets' reach.
The salary cap and the luxury threshold have not yet been set for the 2007-08 season. The Nuggets' current payroll is about $80 million. The 2006-07 salary cap was about $53 million, and the luxury threshold was almost $65.5 million. Blake, who started at point guard for the Nuggets last season after being acquired in a trade with Milwaukee, is being courted by several teams. The Miami Herald reported Wednesday the Heat and Blake are discussing money, while the Los Angeles Lakers have reportedly cooled on Blake because of his price tag
