I thought they were going to try to start gasol at the pf.
Does this mean that they spent the #2 pick on a backup?
Maybe we could trade collison and watson for gasol straight up.
What does everyone think of that?
Per Rotoworld-
Magic GM Otis Smith said on Wednesday that Orlando is prepared to pay a stiff luxury tax to keep restricted free agent Marcin Gortat.
“The owner said we can go into tax so that changes things,” Smith said. “At this point, we’re matching everything that comes back to us on him.” The Rockets are doing everything they can to attract Gortat, and the Thunder, Pacers, Knicks and Pacers are also interested.
Wow. The Pacers are twice as interested it seems.
I was just throwing Dalembert out there as an example. I think that there are other potential trade candidates that we may not be thinking of. Definately have to consider the salary structure and how it impacts the entire team. I am not advocating for sammy d, but a true center would make a big impact. Esp along with a Milsap signing.
