Now that Gortat´s not coming...

Honestly... do we even know for sure that Gortat is a better player than Hollins? His per-40 numbers rock, sure, but I think every frontcourt guy that plays behind a superstar gets "backup QB" syndrome.

Well of course we don't, we only have samples of his potential. But you have to put that above drafting someone out of college. At least he's shown he can bring it on an NBA level. When you draft someone out of college you have no idea what they'll be like in the NBA.

So in a way this is like having about the #6 pick in the NBA draft and going with Gortat, only for another team to steal him from us.
