Mavs Are About To Sign Marcin Gortat

[Mike-Dub]

yeah...but boston sending all the big guns to wallace FIRST has to mean something

Yeah it should.

  Wasn't Dallas also looking at Rasheed?

Good call. TP. That's the biggest news for Celtics fans imo.

Yea but I just heard on Sportscenter that the Spurs are going after Gortat harder than Rasheed Wallace and if the Mavs get Gortat then that means Rasheed will be the Spurs number one option to go after

Well if Houston had gotten Gortat we'd be competing with Dallas and S.A, so one less team helps. I still think we'll have to give Sheed 3 years at least to get him to sign.

i think orlando, the cavs are not a threat for sheed...i only fear the spurs but they have a lot of guys already on that team..sheed gets more minutes in boston and is very good friends with KG...VERY GOOD

Anyone else feel like Sheed on the Spurs would be really weird to see? He personality seems so out of place on the Spurs.

Yeah seems weird for that reason, but it depends on if he wants a starting spot or not I guess.

I think he'd be a great fit though.  If he has to go somewhere besides Boston I want it to be San Antonio.  Getting him would put the Spurs over the Lakers in my opinion.

Agreed.  That would be a very entertaining basketball team.

I don't know about this signing for Dallas.

Exactly one year after giving DeSagana Diop the full MLE, they've once again given the full MLE to a largely unheralded center based on a few weeks of performance.

Here are the bios from Hoopshype on each player. See if you can tell which is which.

Very, very big... Extremely long arms... Good mobility... Runs the floor well... Has outstanding shot blocking skills... No low-post moves... Can't score... Not a great rebounder for his size... A serviceable big man, though.

Very good dunker... Quite an athlete... Good shot-blocking skills... Not very talented on the offensive end.

Fool me once, shame on me, fool me twice . . . won't get fooled again?
