Bobby Portis

[liam]

I read an article that said Portis was a good player on the Wizard. He was playing defense, embracing his roll, and getting along with teammates. There is analysis on YouTube on Wizard's FA that goes over his play and stats for the wizards. They want to keep him but they can't afford to as they need to focus on keeping Bryant.

Now I don't know if he is playing nice or has finally got it together. If he has got it together than he can be a solid guy off a teams bench. I expect is price tag around 10 to 14 million per.

I don't remember seeing Portis all that much this year but when I saw him he had his moments. He's still young and should get better. 10-14 million is Kelly Olynyk money! I thought we could get Portis for 4 years 32 million or something like that....

His offense is better than KO's and he is younger then when KO got his pay check. We know the market has only increased for bigs that can shoot the 3. 10-14 is actually a low figure. His agent is probably asking for 16-18 million or a starting position to sign day one. I think it goes a week and then he accepts a lower amount and a backup roll.

If both Randle and Portis (among others) are all bad at defense, then can someone name me a player anyone will be happy with?

Just curious....

Robin Lopez?

Brook Lopez?

caulie-stein?
bryant thomas maybe, maybe?
steven adams?

though let's face it. if the celtics brought in bill russell in his prime there would be at least a few people on CS who would complain about his lack of a 3 point shot. 

And they'd say Russell was undersized....

Russell is far from undersized, he's 6'11 in shoes with a 7'4 wingspan.
