Pistons/Gortat

[Glenn]

Just read a rumor/speculation about Gortat to Portland for Bayless.

That makes some sense.

Bynum + Kwame for Gortat works too, would you give up Bynum for Gortat? i dunno...

Does it still work with Gortat being BYC?

yes it works according to realgm trade checker ^^

now the question would be is Gortat really a starting center or not? this guy hasnt played more than 15 min, if you pay him full MLE money you want him on the floor for 30 min a game, can he do that?

[Glenn]

As much as I like Bynum, I think I would, especially if they as committed to Stuckey as it seems.

You would need to get a PG before even thinking about contending, though.

[Fool]

I would think Bynum is more proven than Gortat.

[Glenn]

If you can get a starting caliber center for MLE money for the next 5 years or so, that's something you have to like.

Again, that's hoping he's starting caliber.

He had a nice little spurt during the playoffs. Plenty of non-starting caliber guys do that all the time.

Gla doesn't care. He just likes a sale.

[Glenn]

I think he can play 30 minutes.

I know that some here will look to find flaws in any guy that's not on the Pistons, but he's big, tough & skilled, what's not to like? And how else are we going to get a guy like that?

I think it says something that Donnie Nelson liked him enough to give him that offer sheet. I would guess that not many people have seen him play more than Donnie.

I'll wait for someone to rip him now, too.
