Sheed hands down. Gortat is not a threat on offense or defense. He will out of the league before Sheed is... I give Gortat 2-3 years before he returns to Euroball.
This is my first thread and i'm kinda new to spurstalk so if this thread exist already, my bad.
Anyways spurs have the MLE to offer i would hope they go after Gortat fisrt, hes younger and has recent finals expirence. Sheed has always been one of my favorite players growing up, watching him and Duncan go after in in 2005 is always going to be one of my favorite Finals match ups BUT lets face is he's not getting younger and we already have Bonner who can create match up problems so Gortat can be our grind out guy to play D and get rebounds...
what do ya'll think?
here are there numbers from this past season
Rasheed> http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/player...e?playerId=883
Gortat> http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/player...?playerId=2758
take a look at the minutes comparison before you judge the staight up points and rebounds
anyway i have faith in our FO again and here's to this coming season!

LOL..come on now..I'm for 'Sheed too, but there's a reason a number of teams are gonna be looking at Gortat..
Wallace is definitely my #1 option, but Gortat would be a very good Plan B IMO..his defense against Gasol and Bynum in the Finals was very good, which makes it even more appealing..
Sheed.
Gortat has less offensive game than Mahinmi wich is scary and would plain clog things up on the offensive end.
do you think we need a ton of scoring from a center now that we have jefferson, tony, manu and duncan?
Gortat also throws it down at the rim i'll find some highlights here in a sec
Where's Ducks?
Shut the up mother er Ducks.
Gortat in 3 games that he started during the regular season..
16 points, 13 rebounds, 3 blocks, 7-13 from the field..
4 points, 4 rebounds, 5 blocks, 2-5 from the field..
10 points, 18 rebounds, 2 assists, 4-7 from the field..
1 game where he started in the playoffs..
11 points, 15 rebounds, 4 steals, 2 assists, 5-8 from the field..
This dude isn't some scrub..
The reason he didn't play more was because he doesn't fit in on the court with Howard at all..Dwight has no jumper at all, and he has no ability to play outside..Gortat doesn't either..
Duncan has a solid J, and has one of the best high-post games in the NBA from a passing and decision-making perspective..
We hope we have a better plan B. It would be Rasho all over again. No Thanks!!
Not true!!
Gortat doesn't need to score. Just defend the paint, block shots, and rebound.
Use his size
The Spurs will have plenty of firepower on the floor with TP, Mason, Jefferson, and Duncan or TP, Manu, Jefferson, and Duncan.
Gortat can protect the rim and Blair can help with rebounding as well.
Gortat can fill that need....if Rasho could so can he!!

Yeah but we won a championship with Rasho.
And he's 7 ft and protect the paint. Rasho just made too much money.......
Gortat can do that as well.
Give me his career numbers... that is what he is... no better.
i dont know why the vids didnt word but just double click the hyperlink and you'll see the footage
Gortat/Mcdyess are a very solid Plan B.
I don't care about his career numbers.Give me his career numbers... that is what he is... no better.
Gortat has shown he can defend the post and block shots and rebound.
Championship squads have everyone filling a role and Gortat would help TD tremendously in that area.
I agree, we do not need Sheed to win it all. But, he is a better option on offense if Timmy is having a bad night.
So, you guys really think Gortat is a stud??? I have my doubts.
I will say that we need a guy to set tons of pick for Tony and Manu. I don`t think sheed would do that.
Just imagine Gortat and Blair tearing up the glass and blocking shots while duncan is on the bench resting...
4Rings,
I never posted that Gortat is a stud.
He just fills a role that the Spurs need. That's all.
The Spurs have enough firepower on offense. I just what like Gortat did in the ECF vs. Cleveland and he played good post defense against Bynum in the Finals.
I think he can be a good role player for the Spurs...nothing more.
Is anyone else making a run at Gortat?
I believe the Magic will try to keep him. I don't know about anybody else. But if the Spurs are interested....that will peak interest from other teams as well.
Just imagine Gortat and Blair tearing up the glass and blocking shots while duncan is on the bench resting...
Or tearing up the buffet...
My personal preference:
1. Sheed
2. Gortat
3. McDyess
4 Trade For Camby
5. Other Vet Big
6. Gooden
I only put the trade for camby as 4 because i think we would have to give up Mase in doing so and I think hes gonna be benefited by all these moves as much as anyone this upcoming year.
Or tearing up the buffet...
No one else is drooling over him, we are the only ones making a market for this guy.
