So the big risk you are taking is that fourth year. It's safe to assume he'll be fine the next two seasons, barring injury. The two years after that he will probably decline significantly, like Nene did this last season.
So we've got another Nene-like contract.
Yeah, it sucks. But I'd still rather have Gortat than Monroe, so...
Nahh. I project his production to be solid to improving in efficiency over the next two years.
Last year was his first here. He, Wall, Beal and with TA or Otto are just going to get more in sync.
I see a solid 3 years with leveling after 2. Flat for the 3rd before I would expect any declining to start. And even then it might not decline much in that 4th.
I expect closer to his '11-'12 production next 2 years.
And Gortat's body type and training dedication projects well. He isn't a heavy big. He is a lean strong big with nimble feet. And watch how he sets a pick. He gets his hip and shoulder out so his knees are not exposed. Guess he needs to remind Nene about that. Not having proper pick setting form is how Nene exposed his knee to the MCL tear.
