Why does everyone like Gortat so much?...He ing sucks!!....
I think they believed that Bourousis would have been cheaper to attain than sum of the top targets on the Spurs list and gives u sum valuable skills that would have fit in with the Spurs. Kind of makes u think that they would go after Sheed seeing how he provides the same skills as Bourousis, if indeed the Spurs were goin after Bourousis
Why does everyone like Gortat so much?...He ing sucks!!....
You're aware that he started in the playoffs when Howard was suspended, and got 11 points, 14 rebounds and 4 steals, right?Let someone else experiment with this guy, put the the spurs in the others category! Posting 4 or 5 double doubles in a season during blow out games is not bad, but to pay starter type $ for him, no thanks (hopefully the spurs well agree)
Considering what the Spurs have paid for guys like Bonner, KT, Oberto, Rasho, etc., what part of the MLE is unreasonable for someone who's 25, healthy and can start?
He's not worth locking up the money right away with, but if all the other top level guys are going to the Spurs around like they usually do, and if Orlando's going to go into luxury tax area, it could be a good gamble.
Especially if they are serious about getting Sheed, we can offer him a 2 year deal and a starting postion on a championship caliber team. Then next year send out Gortat for some money and bring in Splitter!
Calm down a bit. Gortat does not suck.
It should really be more like, what has Gortat proven or accomplished? And how does it translate for the Spurs?
There are thoughts and opinions given in this thread and the Top 25 Bigs thread.
Format your thoughts and see if you can sway opinion.

I was just in the Top 25 Bigs thread and i just posted this there, its good to keep your mind open and thats what i'm trying to accomplish here in this one.I confess i'm split between Rasheed/McDyess/Gortat
Although Sheed is talented and proven, he's old and set in his ways...
McDyess i dont even know if he wants to leave Detroit first of all and like Rasheed hes no spring chicken himself.
Gortat is a guy that i know a lot of are split on, rightfully so he is young and has only been to the finals once last year and he was only a backup center to boot! But then again he plays great D and is athletic and has good #'s while he's starting. A lot of us are falling on either side of the pendulum, Hes going to be a flat out BEAST or Hes a total waste of money and too young! Personally i think he can be Rasho 2.0 somebody who will not score a lot, grab a decent amount of rebounds and block shots here and there. As where you can make the argument about Sheed and McDyess being proven you gotta also take in to consideration with the facts that i mentioned earlier and that those are still in some case BiG NAMES, gortat is a Blue collar guy who i think will work well with Pops philosophy, he can fill the role that we lost when Kurt and Oberto left. Wallace, i love the guy and i would never compare his career of somebody like Bonner but with Bonner we already have the center that can shoot the 3 and i think we need somebody who can just go in there and focus on D and grab rebounds.
another confession i have is i really didnt watch that much Detroit ball last year so i dont know what kind of shape McDyess is in but if you can prove to me he is as "durable" as a youngin' like Gortat and can play all 82 games then by all means lets bring him in!
No contest. Rasheed.
I'd rather roll the dice with Gortat, but I don't know if we have a legitimate shot to bring him here.
Sheed is clearly on the decline, and I don't like the baggage he brings. There is a distinct element of stupidity to his game/career. Look at what he did to Detroit last year -childishly pouting and giving up on the team because...who knows? His feelings were hurt and/or he didn't like the way things were going?
I'm a firm believer in the "Be the change" philosophy. Your team sucks and isn't playing up to it's potential? OK, play harder and try to make things better -don't quit, FFS.
Didn't we learn anything from the Rodman fiasco? Players who quit don't deserve to wear the silver and black.
Either Gortat's going to break out with starter's minutes or he's going to turn into Erick Dampier. Those questions will be answered in two years and either the Spurs won't be able to afford him or they'll be thanking their personal god that they didn't make him an offer.Especially if they are serious about getting Sheed, we can offer him a 2 year deal and a starting postion on a championship caliber team. Then next year send out Gortat for some money and bring in Splitter!
