Steve Blake, whose season was revived by a Jan. 11 trade from Milwaukee to Denver, will become an unrestricted free agent July 1. Of the Nuggets' top 10 players, he is the only one not under contract for next season.

"I would say it was a great three months," Blake said after the Nuggets were eliminated from the playoffs by the San Antonio Spurs. "I couldn't have asked for anything more. This has been a great time."

With that in mind, Blake said he will weigh interest from Denver and other teams before making any kind of decision.

"If you just look at basketball wise, I don't know if there would be a better situation out there for me (than Denver)," he said. "I'm going to do what's best for my family, myself and my career."

The Portland Trail Blazers reportedly are interested in Blake, who played for them in 2005-06. The interest should grow after Blake averaged 8.3 points and 6.6 assists in 49 games for Denver.
