    Knicks Will Pursue Gortat

    With their midlevel exception, the Knicks will search for a defensive center and Orlando's Marcin Gortat is high on their list.

    Gortat was drafted by the Suns in 2005 when Mike D'Antoni was their head coach. His draft rights were subsequently traded.

    Gortat told the New York Post he would welcome a move to New York.

    "I love New York, I can tell you that," Gortat said. "It was the first city I landed when I landed in the states five years ago. I love Coach D'Antoni and I know [Danilo] Gallinari from Europe."

    Otis Smith can match any offer, but said he knows it will be a financial challenge to retain Gortat.

    "He's got the best job in America, playing behind my best player, playing 8 to 10 minutes," Smith said. "He goes out and does his job and probably has the best work ethic of anyone in the locker room. Can he start for another team? Yeah he can.

    "I'll just deal with it and the market will dictate where he goes," Smith added.

    Note I mentioned Spur interest in Gortat way before any article was posted on that.

    He is getting a lot of pub lately and rumored to have several teams interested in him. I don't see the Spurs getting into a bidding war for him as well as having to wait on his RFA status.

    Not really a bidding war because he's going to get more than MLE and how many teams can give him that?

    If he is getting the more than the full MLE then some other team can have him. Many here think it's overpaying just giving him 5 million a year.

    Centers who can rebound, block shots, and defend always make money.

    What's scary is the last Spurs/Suns game I watched he defended Duncan really well too. Can't remember if Duncan was injured but Louis was really taking Duncan out of his comfort zone.

    Good player but if all the teams are going after him, it'll drive the price up and he's not worth the money he's going to be able to demand.

    According to Bruno, a full MLE contract with max raises comes out to around 33 million over 5 years. That seems a bit steep, and this is coming from someone who has argued a lot over the past week or so trying to make a case for us acquiring him. The absolute most I would want to spend would be somewhere in the 4 years/22-23 million range.

    Agree. I would not trade Hill for Gortat. The spurs need a better upgrade on the frontline than Gortat. Manu is the guy you trade for a better big than Gortat.

    I doubt that Gortat will come to the Spurs unless we offer him a load of money which the Spurs won't do. And why would Gortat want to come to San Antonio? The Magics are in the finals and they have a better future than the Spurs as of right now.

I will trade a promising big man for a promising PG everyday of the week. Specially with our situation.
    Your right Gortat is good and all but think about this from the magic's perspective

    1. there is no way the magic will let him go for less than MLE type money and..

    2. they do not need another combo guard, they just finally got that overcrowded position under control when they shipped out Bogans and Dooling, they aren't going to create another log jam at that position while at the same time thin out their frontcourt.

    Weren't you the same guy talking crap about Pietrus and saying David Lee was an excellent shot blocker and jump shooter?

    Spurs FO is perfect. If you do not play for the Spurs, you suck and have low basketball IQ.

    If he was doing anything in those 4 minutes he may have been able to squeeze in a 5th minute . To think this guy is worth mle is a joke.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OID9NAN5AFs - Marcin Gortat fast enough for people who say he is immobile.

    This guy is athletc and we could actually have him. Big men do get paid more than small guys for equal amount of production so somewhere around 4 million a year starting is not a stretch.
