But that's not happening and sorry, Gortat has done nothing and this is not the piece to turn the Mavs into contenders... and it doesn't look like Cuban has any interest in getting one of those players.
Fail.
Honestly I'd rather have Bass than Gortat, since it seems like a choice between the two.
The mavs dont' really gain much by losing Bass and gaining this guy. At best it's treading water.  |
I'm not sure we could have landed any of those big name players. How could we compete with the heavy contenders slobbering all over them? That may be why we heard nothing from Dallas about us going after any of them. With our situation we have to make solid moves to upgrade where we can. I'm actually hoping we find a S&T with Orlando for Gortat using Bass. Won't work straight up, but both teams can find a way to make it work. With our MLE saved, and our trading pieces, we can still salvage this off season.
