Bucher thinks Gortat deal to OKC is on the table(ESPN Podcast)

[Goulet 0]

The only way I see us pulling off a deal with them is if we get Nenad Krstic in return because we will need a back-up center. Then maybe we ask for Livingston and the ability to swap 1st round picks with them in 2010.

 

Now I would go for this trade if they would because Nenad makes less than Gortat and is only under contract for 2 years instead of 5. So we would still have a legit back-up center, we would have more PG depth(even though Livingston doesnt fit our PG mold because he cant shoot the 3) and we would move from pick 25-30 in the draft to around pick 3-10. Or if this is asking too much, we could just ask for a 2nd round pick instead of switching firsts, I dont know how much value Gortat has to the rest of the league...

Which might be exactly why OKC wouldn't consider a deal for Green. he is a tremendous talent.

But, he is also a SF playing out of position, and with their team lacking a decent Center, their teams is soft as he11 as currently constructed.

 

They would be super young and scary good if they had a lineup of:

 

Westbrook/Livingston/

Harden/JJ

Durant/Sefolosha

Collison/White/Ibaka

Gortat/Kristic/Mullens

 

We would be unstoppable with this lineup:

 

Jameer/Weaver/AJ

VC/Pietrus

Green/Barnes

Shard/Bass/Anderson

Dwight/Bass or other backup C

Wow, you are 110% correct Sir.

 

On a side note, I'd put Ibaka in front of White. I think Ibaka is going to be really good sooner rather then later.

As cool as a trade for Durant or whatever would be, I was under the understanding that we couldn't trade Gortat until at least December, right?

[Drain-O 369]

I cannot even wrap my mind around thinking we could get Durant but getting Green seems almost as laughable to me.

 

It would either be a role player with a much shorter contract or a pick since they can absorb the salary without having to move another contract.

we should trade gortat at the end of the season to okc for BJ Mullens and a top 10 pick. BJ can be worked on as a back up center and that top 10 pick can be used for trade or draft a prospect at back up center or back up point guard, places we can fill holes

I'm telling you guys.

 

Gortat goes to Houston for Aaron Brooks. Book it.

aaron brooks is there starting point guard and is the main reason alston was ok to move last year i dont see them getting ride of brooks for gortat

[Jareth Cutestory 678]

Fine

 

Gortat for Lowry. Book it.

believe it or not i think OKC is a good choice bj mullens will be a cheap back up and u know they will have a top 10 pick next year so thats two prospects for less money and a top 10 pick has alot of trade value
