Well if the Spurs coaches and front office think that front line will work well, that's good enough for me.
It doesn't.

Apparently, Gortat wants to stay, but the team is shopping him because they think Len can start now. I doubt that view would change because of Splitter.
Also, Phoenix is supposedly in the free-agent ring this off-season. I doubt they sacrifice $8 Million on a player they don't think is a cornerstone piece after they already wasted $6 Million a year on Beasley last off-season.
I think they're trying to have both, high draft pick and cap space for free agency.
It just might be a while. Free-agency contact opened Sunday night, but the Suns are taking a low-key approach this month. The Suns hope to preserve their salary-cap space of at least $7 million so they can be in position for potential future trades that would absorb a high-salary star or a major free-agency signing next year, when they have more cap space.
“We’ll be patient and deliberate and see if we can find some good values for us,” McDonough said. “Every year in free agency, a lot of money is spent right out of the gate. Teams spend big. The price gets driven up. A lot of times, it’s to a point where teams feel uncomfortable, but they still do it because they’re chasing guys. I don’t think we’ll be in that game.”

Of all the rumors, this one makes the least sense to me.
Lol yea idk either man
well he doesn't like the Heat.
Gortat & TD would be just fine defensively tbh.
So you think because one grey has never heard of him, that others dont know basketball?
Thats about as dumb as assuming you know more basketball than others just because you have more posts count.
More international intelligence. Good, good..........
I said he's soft and he can't hit an outside shot! Dirk isn't soft, imo. Bargnani is soft. Oberto wasn't soft. Bosh is an African American player who can hit an outside shot and he's soft. It's more an at ude thing, instead of a race or nationality issue.
Don't be butt hurt grey. I wasn't generalizing. I'm sure there's more than one grey poster one this forum that is so casual a fan they can't even name 10 players on the Spurs now.
Yeah, probably not. Still, it's unlikely Len plays anything more than maybe 24-25 mpg next season, which would leave half a game for Splitter. That's about right for him, considering the caliber of player he is and his lack of stamina.
The question is, will any free agent of any significance actually sign with them? If not, then this trade makes sense for them. Even if they don't want Splitter, if they can get him signed, they can trade him next season for something they like better, similar to what the Nuggets did with Nene.
So who, for example, goes out on the pick and rolls or chases the stretch 4s around?
OK, the Spurs are now serious about three different centers.
That means they're going to end up with Robin Lopez.
Thank god spurs r actually trying to upgrade center.I won't get my hopes up but gortat would b awsome
Al Jefferson is just as bad in PnR D..if not worse compared to Gortat. Gortat is cheaper and is better at PnR on offense...it makes sense.
This is a huge upgrade for the Spurs
so we'll slow down things with Gortat cause of a player that didn't play bball in 4 years? Seem legit.
No Al Jefferson. gortat might not be the most mobile defensive guy around but the dude can swat shots around the rim. al jefferson does neither and is more of a ball stopper on offense, where gortat is an awesome PnR guy with a decent jumper
If he comes cheap and AK47 is in, Oden actually makes more sense imo.
Yup...source is losing credibility by the minute.
