In the event he can right his health issues, it'd be a gamble worth taking IMO. The Raps as constructed have no hope to come out of the East.

They are literally one injury to LeBron or Kyrie away from being the East favorites, even if they change nothing else from here on out. They have the most hope of any non-Cleveland team. Adding Blake does not make them any more of a threat to Cleveland. As I said from a pure matchup standpoint, losing Carroll means LeBron and Kyrie probably have their way with the Raps defense. Unless Blake's scoring 40 a game, he won't help them much to beat Cleveland.
