Settle the center position. Besides, with Dirk, Terry and Howard we didn’t need a big offensive threat. We just needed some youth, fire, and defense. Gortat should provide all three.

Now we can move Stack and Damp for something else. Can you smell Rip Hamilton? I hear Detroit might need a Center and he and Damp match perfectly, while offering Detroit cap relief next year. Then we could shop Stack for any number of players. I’m already liking the possibilities.
