Marcin Gortat

[JR Rider]

Our need for a defensive center. We could eliminate the worry of finding that player through the draft with Gortat. Is MLE too much? Opinions?

[Esohny]

The full MLE would probably be too much for him, although I think he'll probably get offered that from some teams.

Smith and Madsen plus Utah's first for Gortat (sign and trade deal)

[collin_k41]

I don't think we'll be able to acquire him through free agency as many teams could use a player like Gortat. A sign and trade would be the best option but I think I'd rather look to other alternatives.

[B Calrissian]

If the Knicks do in fact go after him (wiretap) and sign him for half as much as some other team gives Lee that would be a great move for them.

Smith and Madsen plus Utah's first for Gortat (sign and trade deal)

I like the Smith/Telfair version that was posted in another thread better but this is probably more realsitic. I would do either tho.

[invno1]

Can Gortat field a 7 million dollar a year deal? I kinda think that is what we are looking at here not the MLE. What is his status a qualifying offer? He would fit nice on front end of Timberwolves team.

[revprodeji]

He is a slightly above avg defensive center. Why would he want to leave Orlando and come here? I only see him leaving if he got a starting job.
