Gortat....two. We need some real big men after that. Shard and Anderson are both shooters, Foyle will never see the court, and Battie (God-willing) will not even be resigned here.

KillingInTheNameOf 63 Report post Posted July 2, 2009 I wonder if he's interested in Sheed as a more versatile replacement for Gortat who can play the 4 & back up Dwight or in addition too??? If we are giving out the full MLE for a playa & signing Gortat, I would think long & hard about Ariza now that he's left twisting in the wind. Trade JJ for a PG & we are set with the most athletic team in the league by a wide margin! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Darrell_Armstrong 5 Report post Posted July 2, 2009 Killing, I completely agree. If we resign Gortat, then I actually think Ariza should be our primary target, above Sheed, Bass, or Dice. It sounds like he can be had for the MLE (which is what Houston is offering him right now), and he would allow Rashard to stay at the four, Pietrus to come off the bench, and give us some major defensive stability in the starting lineup. Not to mention I'd love to see Ariza go against the Lakers with a little vengeance for not resigning him. Ah, I dream too much. Here's to hoping the next breaking headline reads: "Ariza back in Orlando to visit with Magic." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
O-Town Baller 0 Report post Posted July 2, 2009 Why do we want to keep Rashard at 4? We should be trying to get bigger not stay the same. We need Sheed or Bass badly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You know just as much as we do...which is nothing. Signing Rasheed does two things. It greatly boosts our defense and rebounding. It also keeps him off the Celtics roster which is just as important.
