Not true.

I'd trade Gortat for Bogut any day, I'd give them a free 2nd rounder too.



Or Horford, they about the same size, maybe an inch shorter, but Horford has more potential still.




And the Suns don't have 1/5th the trade pieces that will require Howard... maybe the Gortat and the next 5 unprotected firsts lol


Quit the straw grasping and knowitalling. The GORTAT will not be traded this yr, surely you can acknowledge that and stop this one man campaign for it to happen. It just doesnt make sense now that we have seen the path the front office chose. Resigned Hill, kept Nash. ie no kaboom. Besides, look at value. The GORTAT is a great value comparing what he brings and what he costs and will be a fine compliment to any of these young players so coveted around here.

have some patience. Next yr will be the rebuild.

Good luck with Mayo, though it seems he is not a priority. Would y'all give up a first round pick for Mayo? Unprotected ? And please remember, LOWpez is damaged goods till we see otherwise.
What ? Me Worry ?

Even if he's signed to a muklti-year contract? I would take him at this level of play, locked up long term if he was an abosolute idiot. You dont pass up someone with superstar potential, locked up long term just because of "intellegence"

Man, it was a straight up tragedy how he played in the playoffs this past year. Ignoring Durant, driving and ballhogging every single time more matter what, just doing the absolute dumbest things possible. If he plays like that, I don't want him. He's damn good player but he must show growth and maturity. I also seem to remember one game he was pulled out of and he was acting like a whiny, pouty, kobe-esque bitch about it.

Yes, but you give him a contract to sign him with the intention of making him the man, and being the team leader. I don't question his ability to become the main guy on a team, but his ability to lead is still suspect.
