Orlando Signs Marcin Gortat
August 27, 2007 - 1:59 pm
RealGM Staff Report -

Gortat recently played in all five games with the Magic during the Pepsi Pro Summer League, averaging 10.0 ppg., 6.8 rpg., 2.6 apg. and 3.20 blkpg. in 30.8 minpg.

Lando is going to be a very nice team this year and would be better if Howard developed a real offensive game, instead of putbacks dunks & alley oops.

It shows what an amazing athlete Howard is that he can get 18PPG without having any offensive skills.

Nice, it makes sense that he could only score 10 per in the summer league then.

Fast forward in time to the future:

DjSU is at home watching the kids while his Wife is working as the Knicks marketing vice president.

NBA on NBC ( DA DA DA DA DA DAA DA DAAAAA ) is back on the air.

The Eastern Conference Finals.

Orlando vs. Toronto, DJSU sitting with the remote in his hand.

Daddy can i watch Barney?

Sorry honey, Marcin Gortat just checked in, he's like a cross between Shaq and Bill Russel. We'll watch Barney later.

Ha ha that's a funny name Daddy... Mar - sin Gor - Kat ... Gor Kat Gor Kat!!!

Let Daddy watch the game or you're grounded kid.

lol @ being BANNED by Martin since 11/07/10 (for asking if Mr. Earl had a point). Really, Martin? C'mon. This is the internet. I've seen much worse on this site. By Earl himself. Drop the hypocrisy.

I remember Balkman and Lee destroying this guy in Summer League last year. This is a big move for Orlando.

DJSU is too ridiculous.

Orlando will just be going through the motions this season, that trophy is theirs.

su, what are you smoking man...Gortat putting Orlando over the edge? What reports say he is Russell/Shaw now? According to what I'm reading he's a athletic big man with no skills. Sounds like a probable nothing even at his top game...which still wouldn't put the Magic above anyone.

Took me a second there to detect that underhanded sarcasm.

DLee is the best thing to happen to NY in Isiah's 4 year tenure. And that alone, though a positive on the radar, is sad as hell.

I'm not impressed by a lot of the moves made by the East's teams. Orlando gave up Darko and Grant Hill for Rashard and Borat.

I see them being a soft team.

Amazing! It took over 10 posts for some guys to realize DJ was being sarcastic.

Ask yourself one question. Why would DJ get excited about anyone not Italian and learning French on the side? Tim Duncan? HA! An-tony Par-ker!!! If it aint a Raptor, it aint nuthin'!
Some men see things as they are and ask why. I dream things that never were and ask why not?
