Marcin Gortat

[JahiiCarson_SqodGeneral]

I want us to wait to trade him until like half of the season. Since Len wont be available he will get plenty of playing time, we need to try and buff his stats, since Dragic and Bledsoe are such good passers he will be spoon fed easy buckets, I think McDonough should tell Dragic and Bledsoe to try and make him look good lol..................... Even though that wont happen I say trade him at the all star break or at a time where he is playing well, if we do this right we could potentially get another pick out of this.

Last I heard Len should be ready for training camp, which would mean he would be ready for the season. Not sure if theres any new info.

Alex Len says he has ?no pain? following surgeries to both ankles, will be ready to start the season | ProBasketballTalk


I think if they trade Gortat it would probably be at the deadline though.

Len has 2 fractured feet?

 

[JahiiCarson_SqodGeneral]

Maybe this will push Gortat to work harder so he does better on the floor and then we can trade him!!!!!!!!!

 

[JahiiCarson_SqodGeneral]

I wonder if we can get anything if we package both Brown and Gortat?

 

[JahiiCarson_SqodGeneral]

My bad I thought Len was out for a while 2 fractured feet usually isn't a good sign same injury Yao had.

I'm sure that we can get a couple of draft picks from some team.

True I still like the idea of trying to make Gortat better than he is so his value goes up. 14 and 8 before the first deadline is the goal.

If we got a draft pick for Scola, then we should be able to get one for Gortat.

True but showing him for a trade is never a bad idea.

What if he gets hurt? If they're going to trade him, then they should do it ASAP. Having him on the team doesn't help the rebuilding effort (he just adds victories and ruins our draft position).

Mark My Words "Len will be an asset to PHX" both feet are looking good and the suns knew this (about his ankles) when they drafted him.
He has a 7'4" wingspan and a pretty quiet resume with Maryland but still....... Mark My Words.

Gortat will fetch a decent younger prospect (some 1st rounder from this year is my guess) and a future 1st round pick. Like Orange said, if Scola can land us a draft pick, Gerald Green and Miles Plumlee then we'll have no problem getting a slightly better package in return for Gortat.

Package Brown in there as well.

1.Wiggins 2.Dinwiddie/Carson 3.Poythress. With our possible 3 picks.

what do you guys think ? Mek is solid, but not expected to be healthy before Dec/Jan last I heard.

RT [URL="https://twitter.com/BillSimmons"]@BillSimmons: Okafor becomes a super-intriguing February buyout guy if healthy. Exactly the kind of vet big man the Clips are praying for

Great great trade, dump Gortat and that bum Marshall, stocking up on 1st round picks is the biggest priority at this point.

Nice work McDonaugh

 

[Orange602]

Seems like the deal was primarily made for the draft pick and to clear roster space.

 

[FORKWDEVIL]

4 possible first rounders in the best draft in decade

Good job Mac!!!
