Well we could always use more draft busts...

I really hope they trade him for an unprotected lotto pick on an actual lottery team.

Suns center Marcin Gortat said he turned down a multiyear contract extension offer in October from the Suns, clarifying what he told a Polish website, przegladsportowy.pl.

“We just said we’re going to wait,” Gortat said. “I want to finish this contract, and we’ll see where I go from there. It didn’t even bother me or change anything in my attitude or performance. The thing I’m concentrating is coming back to dominating the game and getting back to being a defensive spark.”

Gortat would not mind negotiating on behalf of his backup center, Jermaine O’Neal. He said he told Suns President of Basketball Operations Lon Babby that he would pay for another year’s salary for O’Neal if they don’t.

“He’s a tremendous player, an amazing teammate and a true leader,” Gortat said. “Playing with him has been my best experience from this year.”

Frustrated by his six-point, five-rebound performance Friday against New Orleans, Gortat said he was in “a hole” about it and was determined to get out Sunday. He posted 18 points and seven rebounds but did not play in the game’s final 13:50. O’Neal played that stretch and finished the game with 11 points, three rebounds and two blocks in 22 minutes.

Jermaine has been awesome this year and I have actually enjoyed watching him play (one of the few on the roster tbh).

Our training staff looks like they have done it again with another vet.

Phoenix medical staff has worked another miracle on JO who looked absolutely done for Boston

chilltown · 11-27-2012, 12:14 PM

Seriously.. can we just take a shot on Greg Oden? Just a peek!

When is Gortat going to be traded? At the deadline or before? There is no way he finishes the season in Phoenix, right? He's been playing horribly and his role as diminished because of it(and because of Gentry) and he's unhappy with the team and his mouth is making the team unhappy with him.

Word also has it that Beasley has been a problem in the locker room. Wonder how true that is?

**Hyperion** · 12-10-2012, 08:15 PM

Probably when Gordon can be traded to the Suns.

**RollWithEm** · 12-10-2012, 08:37 PM

This thread coupled with the other one I was just posting in really made me think about how good of a pairing Gortat and Jeremy Lin would be. They would elevate each other's game offensively, but defensively... yeesh!

**Hyperion** · 12-10-2012, 09:12 PM

Gortat is a pseudo starter. He can put up decent numbers where you can't really argue with him playing, but you know that you're not winning with him as your starter or top 3 scorer.

**Jace** · 12-11-2012, 03:08 AM

What do you want for your Gortat? I got a 2013 lotto-protected Philly 1st, and...uh...Jorts.

**Hyperion** · 12-11-2012, 10:26 AM

Dude shouldn't get traded. I would make him sit until he realized that he won't get paid if he doesn't hustle.

Diable doesn't think so...

**Bogg** · 12-11-2012, 10:51 AM

I feel like there's a deal to be made with Portland that packages Beasely/Gortat/Dudley and has Phoenix getting back Batum and filler(maybe Meyers Leonard and an additional contract).

**R-Star** · 12-11-2012, 10:53 AM

Batum? I doubt that.
