Now that the Dallas Mavericks have reached a verbal agreement with former Orlando Magic center Marcin Gortat, it’s clear that free agent Brandon Bass will have to find another suitor.
“If anything this will help move things along and could pave the way for a sign-and-trade,” said Tony Dutt, Bass’ agent upon learning of the Gortat deal.
Orlando can still match the Mavericks’ offer since Gortat is a restricted free agent but it’s uncommon to pay a reserve player the full mid-level exception.
"Bottom line, this team isn't winning anything as its built. We aren't suddenly going to turn it on and all will be well. It's midseason. Otis gambled and lost." T REX (24-12 record)

this is real good news. personally, ive been amazed at how over valued Gortat has been. Bass is much more athletic and has more upside, look at his freakin wingspan, the dude is sick and he seems to have the same attitude and attack power as the lock but with more athleticism
Osprey23: JJ said to Snow, I believe, after his four point play "Whats its like getting taken by a rookie?" I loved it! haha
I don't know why but it never fails to make me laugh when you guys do the whole "In before the lock" thing.
I often wonder, if my Grandmother had miraculously sprouted a pair of testicles whilst my Grandfather was alive, would I then have to also refer to her as Grandfather? -rtillaree
