Houston meeting with Gortat

[benefactor]

It's never a bad thing to keep all options open.

Do not want.

The native of Poland has become one of the hottest free agents in the league with Houston and San Antonio also hot for him.

The Mavericks aren't saying anything about whether they are on the brink of an agreement with Gortat. He likely would cost the entire mid-level exception (about $5.5 million for the first year). If that were stretched out five years, the deal would be worth more than $30 million.

Gortat on a full MLE contract doesn't make much sense. The Spurs would have to be 99% sure he's not a bust ... and I just don't know how they could do that with the sample size at hand ... and skewed sample, at that.

If Dallas signs him for that contract I think they have some deal lined up that ships Dampier out.
