Celtics planning offer for Gortat

[wfiles]

Wow Bradley is so overrated, and Gortat so underrated on this thread...

How is Bradley overrated? 12ppg as a starter, 15ppg in April, top 2 perimeter defender in the league, excellent baseline and backdoor cutter, can run the break very well, is only 22 years old, and has 5 years until his prime to groom his already developing offensive game. He used to be an awful shooter and now he is a great corner shooter with an excellent mid ranged jumper. He is only going to get better on that end as well. I am aware of Gortat's value as a 14 and 11 guy who can block 2-3 shots a game and protect the rim, but it is not worth giving up Bradley's start potential, in which the Celtics had a 25-7(?) record when he was in the starting lineup. And we all know how bad the Celtics started that year. I would love to have Gortat in Boston, but I wouldn't give up Bradley.
Final Offer: Bass, Melo, 2013 1st, 2014 2nd, and MAYBE Lee for Gortat and a filler guy to match the salaries.

what a garbage offer. you make boston fans look bad.

No way Phoenix accepts that offer above but I agree with everything else he said.

And I don't even expect them to accept the offer? Iim just saying that's my final offer. Without giving up Bradley, we simply don't have the assets to get the trade done. And I'm content with that because Bradley has the potential to be that good. I hope you don't think I think that offer is more than enough to get Gortat. That's just all I'd give up. Sorry bro.

Undersized SG, who is not something special on offense, with some injury concerns vs against legit 2 way C, who can start on almost every team aside 5-6 max, he is only 28, and barring injuries has at least 3-4 more years on this lvl, and he is on bargain deal. In my books those facts makes one overrated and the other underrated. Simple as that..

If I'm the C's my offer would be something like Lee+Sullinger+2nd, nothing more.

That is an atrocious deal for PHX. It isn't even worth thinking about.

He's 22 years old. Tons of room for development

It is a bunch of Celts fans who are overrating him.

Who may or who may not reach his potential, against proven big on his prime, with very low salary considering his production, its not even debatable. I am not a homer or anything, i follow only Denver since KK is playing for them. Other that that i am just a neutral basketball fan.

These offers from Boston are just plain Ludacris.


Lee? Bass? Green? Melo? If you want to keep Bradley so bad, How about Rondo/Sullinger/Melo for Gortat/Dudley/Marshall? Two can play this game.


It just seems like Tommy has like 40 RealGM accounts!

[Brandon-Clyde]

I would expect the Suns to hold onto Gortat until the offseason,unless they receive an offer that is impossible to refuse, when several teams will have capspace (making an unbalanced trade capwise possible),more teams could trade picks due to having conveyed picks from previous trades and it will be better known where the picks are in the draft.

[AKFO]

How about Rondo/Sullinger/Melo for Gortat/Dudley/Marshall?

Yeah I'd definitely do that. Rondo can't shoot jumpers sucks and Sully's back is gonna implode.

On a serious note, a lot of our offers are not viewed by us as offers that "can't be turned down." That is just all I'd give up. I don't expect Phoenix to accept any of these offers at all. Bradley is just a keeper. Sorry.

Gortat: "I was looking forward to playing with Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce, but the Celtics didn't want to give up Avery Bradley."

Do everyone a favor, and get a real source before posting such things... No one gives a crap about that website, and that story it isn't even on the main page which tells you something.

Quick tip as well... don't post info from sites that have people asking NBA sports writers/bloggers wanted!!!
