Like I said before, I'm not even 100% sure the Magic want to trade Gortat at all. They were crazy enough to match for him, they may be crazy enough to keep him.

That doyoubelieveinmagic guy was a moron but he did say one thing that's right, the Magic owner has about twice as much money as Cuban. He obviously gave Otis Smith the green light with the luxury tax as he can easily afford it and probably doesn't care.

At some point when the right deal comes along they'll have to trade Gortat, but I'm not convinced it's going to be December 15th.

An article came out July 2nd, before we offered Gortat the MLE quoting Otis Smith saying "we're matching anything on Gortat." and sure enough they did. They're legitimately high on the guy, as stupid as it may be when they have DHoward.
