Still, what weirds me out most about this deal is that the Wiz gave up a nice big expiring contract and a valuable 1st round pick for a guy who may just be a one year rental (and is on a smaller expiring deal). Gortat will likely have a decent amount of teams chasing him in the summer, and there's really no guarantee the Wiz can hang onto him, assuming it's even a good fit. Still a pretty iffy deal to make for the long-term benefit of the team.

That said, they were too talented to have a top 10 pick this year without some major injuries. So it makes sense to get the final starting piece via trades. A mid/late teens pick for a Gortat level center is cheap.

When it comes to Suns, they don't give a fuck about Okafor. They have only $20M+ commited in 14-15, and if they're lucky enough to pick up Wiggins or Parker in 14' draft, then big money can help land another star and bunch of good role players.Last edited by rocwell; Sun Oct 27, 2013, 09:11 PM.
