another one bites the dust.

You really think the Celtics were going to offer him a 60 million dollar contract?

Free agent center Marcin Gortat has agreed to a five-year, $60 million deal to return to the Washington Wizards, a person with knowledge of the situation told USA TODAY Sports.

The Denver Nuggets have considered trading JaVale McGee and/or Wilson Chandler, according to league sources.

What is McGee's contract?  When healthy a good rim protector.  I'd be happy to get him if healthy.

I think it's around 40-50 million dollars.

I remember a few weeks ago someone floated the idea of using the TE to sign Gortat.
More then a few over confident know it alls on the board said (paraphrased)  "no you're wrong, Gortats going to get way more then $10.2 m"
Turns out he's getting pretty much exactly that amount.

Just want to point this because I've gotten really tired of the amount  of "no, you're wrong"  posts on this blog. All those people who think they have superior knowledge, maybe you want to step back and take a less definitive stance. Makes for more interesting conversations and less egg on the face.

Not the perfect center but brings a lot of what we're missing.
Think he'd pair pretty well with oly.
If we could get him for the TE I'd be all for it.

He is due to make $11.25m next season and $12m in 2015-2016, the final year of his four-year deal.

the only bad thing in this contract is the years. the money is more or less what should have been expected for a quality starting true center, keep in mind there are maybe 45 total true centers in the league and of them less then 15 that are starting caliber.

if the 4th year is partly guaranteed and the 5th not at all or a team option then this looks very good to me.

It's 60 mill fully guaranteed over 5 years. No player or team options.

I feel pretty confident in stating that you'd have to offer Gortat more than what Washington was willing to give him in order to get the Wizards to agree to a sign-and-trade.

Keep in mind that only the Wizards can offer Gortat a fifth year.  Gortat's contract, if it includes maximum 7.5% Bird right raises, would begin at $10.43m.   The value of Gortat's contract for the first four years would be around $46.41m.  For another team to give him the same amount of money over four years, a contract would have to start out at $10.87m.  If you needed to give him $50m over four years to compensate for the lack of a fifth year and outbid Washington, the contract would have to start at $11.71m.  If he demanded $55m over four years, you would have to start at $12.88m.

So, it is very likely true that you'd have to give a contract that starts out at $11-13m to give a competitive offer.  That sort of deal would not fit into the TPE.
