[Johnny Jones]

Gortat is not soft dude.

OKC is shedding a collective tear as we speak.

[PleezeBelieve]

Need go find out the value of the pick before we can judge this ass rape by the Suns.

This.

Thunder could've offered more, but probably didn't even inquire.

Gortat is not soft dude.

to be honest i haven't watched him too much, but the few times i watched him in Pheonix and when he played with Orlando he had some "soft" qualities. a lot of bricking layups when he could have dunked etc. he needs to go up stronger.

[kurple]

i always wanted to pair him with Nene

How my Emeka has fallen

[niko]

Now Emeka gets cut, signs in Miami giving them another servicable big. Fudge fudge fudge.

Perkins is going to miss that sweet ass.

Maybe theyre sheddin a tear but its obvious theyre choosing not to pursue anyone else while theyre still payin Perkins, which is their own fault.

Why would OKC give a f*** after how well Steven Adams played in the preseason? Now they've got a 20 year old rookie under lock for at least 4 more years. To get Gortat they would have had to trade away someone like Lamb (making them even thinner in the backcourt) and a 1st round pick.

Instead, now it looks like Adams might actually be a serviceable center from the get-go, and they get to watch him grow and develop on his rookie contract for 4-seasons. Trade for Gortat and there's a possibility they lose some assets AND watch Gortat leave for nothing next Summer.

50 wins guaranteed

Gortat is obviously the main piece in this trade and he'll really compliment the rest of the starting lineup but I think Kendall Marshall is a great get for the Wiz. He can be an excellent backup point guard for Wall and a facilitator in a 3 guard lineup. Small ball with Marshall, Wall, Beal, Porter, and Nene/Vesely would be insane.

I can see Emeka making that kind of impact on the Suns too.

[DuMa]

Wizards' chances of winning the SE division just went up like .5% yo!
