If we can get Marcin Gortat,I think we will be a better team.

YAO played so profect today,haha.

I will notice this guy and make update .

'Cause they have Anthony ing Johnson playing as backup of Nelson that isn't good for a contender. So we could trade Gortat for Hill.

When? I don't see that happening with Parker, Mason, Manu and Pop's love for Finley.

Manu and Mason can play point.

I'm not blind and have read your points, you don't need to repeat them ad nauseum, it doesn't make them any stronger.

Gortat for Hill I've already addressed - awful trade, not going to happen. And anyway, Anthony Johnson is doing a fine job backing up Jameer.

Finley won't play much, if at all, next year, and Hill will take his minutes.

You need a primary backup for Parker and Hill is perfect. Filling the primary backup role with Mason and Manu is a recipe for disaster if there are any injuries to our 1/2/3.

Hi guys,

Ever since we played your team I've kinda been checking out your forums regularly because you guys seemed like a nice bunch. So I saw this topic and I thought I'd help you out.

IMO, Gortat has the potential to be a beast. He has great hands, is always in the right position and is a block machine. I don't believe the stats show the whole story. His offensive game is raw but he can finish around the rim at a reasonably well rate and has the potential to knock down a jumper. If given the chance I think he could become a great player. But you know, since we have that big, muscular beast who's name eludes me, he doesnt get that much playing time. When Howard went down he filled in great and had 2 great games against GSW and Utah. He does foul a lot though.

And about the George Hill for Gortat trade, that is actually kinda up in the air. You see, there is no other way to say this but Anthony Johnson is pure GARBAGE. Any lead we have he blows it and can barely stay infront of a parked car. It sucks. I think that trade would help both teams although I don't know how confident you'd feel w/ Vaughn backing up Parker. Anyway, hope this helped in some way. Goodluck the rest of the season.

so many people wanting to give up hill for gortat?

As a matter of fact,I want to use somebody's signing rights like Splitter or something else like second round picks to trade him.

Gortat's absolute ceiling is something along the lines of Joel Pryzbilla.

A decent backup who's skill limitations will keep him from ever becoming a 30MPG guy.

Thank you, I that, unlike many Spurs fans that pretend to know sh1t about Gortat just for looking at a stat sheet, saw him play in an actual NBA game (more than just one time) know how good he really is and the potential he has. IMO Hill and Gortat are pretty much the same but at different positions, young players with a very good potential, and given the fact that the Spurs backcourt is full with great player but the frontcourt sucks, I think that a Hill for Gortat trade should be a risk that the FO of this team needs to take.

Joel Pryzbilla will be that kind of guys that we need,isn't it?
Because we have got Tim.What we need is a big guy who can get REBS and defend.Gortat will be the guy I believe.

Glad to meet you,guy.You are the person who has the same opinion with me.We all appreciate Gortat.Maybe the difference between us is that I want to keep Hill in spurs.Anyway,nice to meet you.

spurs finally found a long term backup point guard and now people here want to trade him?? makes no sense. there's a reason hill was drafted in the preseason. because the spurs badly needed someone to back up tony who can create offense. this issue was more pressing than finding bigs.

Exactly. Hill's ceiling is far higher, as is Mahinmi's. People will be surprised by him when he's healthy.

I am commenting from watching Gortat in about 5 games this year - don't get me wrong, nice player, but I think George is a more important piece for the medium term future, and I really doubt Orlando would give Marcin up for less. They own the guy, they know how good he is... and he's CHEAP, important in this climate.

Exactly. Our dearth of bigs is mostly a function of cir stance - Scola was a mistake, but no-one could see Splitter staying in Europe because of a weak dollar, or Mahinmi tearing an ankle ligament (the first injury was not a sprain, it was a tear, which take 8-16 weeks to get over depending on severity).

The FO will find someone, but I doubt they give up Hill to get it done.

Don't get me wrong I don't want to get rid of Hill either. But we gotta be real. We won't get Gortat for Vaughn, the only reasonable trade asset we could offer to the Magic is Hill, that's why I said it.

Is a lot easier to find talented young guards than talented young pivots. I say trade George for Marcin, play Mason and Manu when Tony need a rest and draft another young PG for next season. We don't need Hill this season so much as we need a good bigman.

You are right.I believe no spursfans want to trade Hill.It's really a hard decision for you and me.Maybe we can get an result after the game Magic VS Celtics on Thursday.Because Howard will be absent at that game.It will be a chance to show off the beast's talent.Are you agree with me?Let's see what will happen.I hope he prove it.

Yep, those who have seen many Magic games know how good that guy is.

Nice to meet you too. Anyway, if you guys don't believe me just check out the magic forum. Everyone over there loves the guy. I believe he averages ~5.5 blocks per 48 minutes and is high energy as well. Everyone is happy with his contribution to the team. We call him the Warlock haha. Anyway, if you guys have any questions I'll try my best to answer them. I'm no bball expert but I've watched pretty much every Magic game. Good luck in your next game!

[DAF86]

Of course, he is just what we need, a young, athletic big guy that can rebound and block and isn't useless in offense.

There's not many specific threads talking about him; you probably have to search around or ask about him in a new thread. I'm sure they'll rave about him though. It's pretty comical. Its almost like hes a mascot.

Lol I don't know about super but I try my best to watch the games. The trouble is though even when he plays he only plays for a little bit so you can't get a great read on him even though we are almost half way through. But so far I have loved what I've seen. Hopefully we'll retain him next year.
