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

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.

Next year?Not this year?

If they want Hill then give it to them for Gortat.
They can always run Mason or Manu at the point and that will also relieve the traffic at the 2 spot. Doubt that will happen though.

GH3 isn't going anywhere! i hope.

1- Gortat would be a nice fit in San Antonio.

2 - SA isn't trading for him.

3 - I put the chances good that the Spurs sign him this summer.

To be honest, I actually heard they will sign him this summer but that's a long ways off and things change.

You mean this summer in 2009?

Trading Manu and Tony seems to get a bit old-fashioned and now people will start giving Hill and Mason to each and every team in the league for their trash.

Gortat seems to be a decent back-up with low ceiling. Besides Pop will never play him with Duncan, because it clearly won't work. Pop also always wants to have a PG as a back up to Parker so it's a pipe dream if you'd expect him to play Manu or Mason there as part of a settled rotation pattern.

I hope he plays well tomorrow.

But that can't be why would Pop sign a guy that he thinks can't play along his franchise player.

Thank you for your news.I like it.

what do you mean by that?The article doesnt say that.Just that Oberto and Thomas arnt giving enough to support Tim.It says the reason SAS want Gortat is that they think Gortat can take the load from Duncans shoulders in terms of fighting in the paint,but stricly inphsycical meaning.Not that they want him to be the go to guy. So defense and rebounds. Thats what the aticle says.

C'mon, man. I saw Gortat play and he is a stiff. Giving up Hill for a slow big is a ridiculous idea. You guys can forget about Vaughan being traded, too. It's not going to happen. The chances of the Spurs making a significant trade are pretty slim. They just don't have anyone that they are willing to trade that would yield a significant return. Much less anything another team could possibly want.

Yes,that's what Gortat can do.He provides Rebs and D.That's enough for Timmy.

[szumi]

Yeah but we can only get him via free agency.Why would you sacrifice the only decent talent that we draftet since Tony to get a guy who will be a free agent next summer.Don't get me wrong, as a Pole and a Spurs fan since years I would love to have Marcin in silver and black now, but there aren't any logical ways to get him this season. I dont think Magic are so desperate to take JV. Johnson is sucking for them as a secong pg, but please what kind of upgrade jv would be for them?

[kenson-q]

I hope we can sign him this season.But you know,he is a restricted player after this season.

[szumi]

no he isn't.http://hoopshype.com/salaries/orlando.htm

[kenson-q]

no he isn't.

no?You can see this.

Thank you for your information,too.

Now you know what I said?

I wondered if someone would bump this thread when discussions regarding him became more active. If we can get him for 5 mil a year...I'm all for it.

Here is the other thread about him. Lots of good information and good arguments both for and against us going after him.

Latest on Gortat points to him going to OKC.
