The salaries should be around the same(i think since bass was like 16 mil in 4 years and gortat is 5 for 5 mil or so, dont quote me though). The magic get are under the cap for 2010 and the mavs get our center after all. I know even if it was legal and acceptable the trade would be highly unlikely but its nice to dream. Plus we might miss out on someone better but hey, we passed up stephen jackson and look how good he is looking in charlotte. Just an idea not real serious about it, but if it were to happen i would not be upset. ur thoughts?; ▶ Reply to This

When he signed the contract for Orlando, the news was that the only way we get Gortat is w/ a trade w/ Orlando after 2 months and not a year. But like I said it won't happen because Orlando has finally start using him again and he is doing really well.; ▶ Reply to This

The problem is that Gortat is finally getting some playing time and the Magic are starting again to realize that they need Gortat. Jermaine O'Neal for Damp would be a good trade. Damp would free up some salary cap room for the Heat. If we can get Kaman, Big Al, or Jason Thompson from the Kings then we might do really well moving forward. We've never had that low post center that we've been missing for the longest time. Marc Gasol is another good young center.; ▶ Reply to This
