zerp 0 Report post Posted July 2, 2009 Gortat is one of the 8 or 10 best center in the NBA as starter for me. If an other team propose a raisonable contract, we must match the offer. (7.5 mil per year). He is very important back up and can take time at 4 too. When Dwight is injured, 3 easy win next year with Marcin, it's a starter center great rebounder and can shoot. With Gortat on the rooster it's a BIG insurance at C for winning a championship. I think it's more important for Magic to keep him and sign a sheed or Bass than keeping Hedo. PS: i'm a Hedo fan.

New Guy 11 Report post Posted July 2, 2009 I'll play devil's advocate when it comes to his signability. With Millsap nearly off the market and potentially returning to the Jazz...there is a lot of talk of OKC going after Gortat. Now they can throw a lot of money at him. More than the MLE, and they would do just that. Making it very hard for us to match. I think he's going to land in OKC now to be perfectly honest. Otis and crew have been saying a lot of things that they've flip-flopped on or were not correct to begin with...so, I wouldnt bank on Gortat returning.
