How quickly people forget that gortat put up 15.5/10 on 55% FG in 32 minutes per game in 2011-12.

He also averaged 14/10 during the half season he was acquired by PHX.

Once you take out the guys that are primarily PFs,it looks far better in terms of Gortat being a near top 10 center.

I'm not sure what some of you think we can acquire that would be a big upgrade over gortat. It's just not feasible.

He'd fit with this team very well imo.

I'm not saying i don't like him.
He's not top 10. He's not top 10 this year and he's having one of his best years and playing the most minutes.

For 1, he won't be available for 7 mil a year, and B, even if we could give him 10-12 mil a year, i'd rather pay jason smith 2 mil and get close to the same production.

We can't sign a center worth a shite until Gordon is either traded, or expired.

Find a decent 3 with the 7 million.
