Capo d'Orlando 85 Report post Posted July 2, 2009 I'd definitley like Gortat over Erica Dampier if I were in Dallas. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Emory889 353 Report post Posted July 2, 2009 It still makes sense for Otis to match it. If Dallas wants him bad enough they will offer a sign and trade. If they back off, we have a quality center at a decent price. It wouldn't be hard to trade him down the road if Otis needed to. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Darrell_Armstrong 5 Report post Posted July 2, 2009 So, just so I can try and get all this straight: We match Dallas offer for the MLE. Worst case scenario, we trade for Bass, who was looking for the MLE anyway. Other option is we get Marcin back. Our lineup then looks solid with the only hole being starting SF or starting SG depending on whether JJ or Pietrus starts. Jameer/AJ JJ/Pietrus VC/Shard/Pietrus Shard/Anderson Dwight/Gortat So, then we'd still have the MLE and the VE to pick up either a starting caliber SG or SF and some more front court help. My other question is, even if we match for Marcin, isn't he going to be pissed because he wanted to start in Dallas and now he has to come back here for the same amount? Or am I misunderstanding this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
