when was the last time a backup center went somewhere and did really good?

J.Oneal?

Wasn't Tyson backing up Nazr on the cats?

Gortat is pretty solid.

For his sake I hope this is true.

Tyson Chandler was Charlotte's backup center in 2010.

He was starting waaaaaay before he went to the cats

And Gortat is ok..

lol, kad trolling his own team now.

Whats funny was I always thought Kad only started liking the Rockets cause of Tmac like Dm, but stayed around as a fan unlike Dm. Maybe I confused him with another poster on this board.

Kad is spinning this like Morey.

WE GOT A TOP 5 REBOUNDER/BEST DEFENDER AT C IN THE NBA.... WAKE UP SMOKEY! HE'S WORTH EVEN MORE THAN THAT!

 

[Branduil]

Gortat put up 15/10/1.5 last year. If he was in Los Angeles he'd be an "all-star" and "the second best center in the league."

People have been over rating gortat for a few seasons.


Gortat is, as you said, OK. Nothing more, nothing less. I mean, in the second last game of the seasons Derrick Favors had about 6 blocks on him. All clean. He got completely embarassed.

So most of them.

Gortat is, as you said, OK. Nothing more, nothing less.

Being an okay center in today's NBA makes you top-5 at the position.

 

[Rodeo Clown]

Let's see how awesome Gortat looks without Nash next season.

If Nash leaves he will be back down to 8 ppg 10 rebounds..

Gortat could at least put the ball through the hoop, so I wasn't as grossed out with the Rockets going after him at the time. Asik is worthless on O, completely worthless.

Rockets are as dumb as Dwight Howard.

 

[darkside31337]

Let's see how awesome Gortat looks without Nash next season.

He'll be fine. He looked pretty good with Jameer Nelson too.

 

[thekad]

The contract is 5mil -> 5.25 mil -> 14.85 mil

If the Bulls don't match, this is actually a good signing; all the money is loaded into the expiring year.

 

[MorisUkunRasik]

I thought everyone shared the opinion of Gortat being a good backup and an OK starter. NBAgaf always surprises.

Stay out of my head Charles

 

[giri]

No, it doesn't.

Dwight, Bynum, M.Gasol, Tyson, Bogut, all better and thats with out having to look.

Let's see how awesome Gortat looks without Nash next season.

He'll struggle to make double digit points.

 

[MorisUkunRasik]

KC Johnson: If Bulls match, which Gar Forman has consistently said the Bulls plan to do, guarantees Boozer would be amnestied for 2014-15 season.

Silver lining.

 

[Blackace]

People forget for a bit there Nelson knew how to play the PG position.. That's why I wouldn't be shocked if he ended up with career numbers on a new team..

 

[SamuraiX-]

I thought everyone shared the opinion of Gortat being a good backup and an OK starter. NBAgaf always surprises.

Seriously.

I remember calling him out no too long ago and saying he really wasn't that good and then I proceeded to get shit on by everyone and their momma in here claiming that he was easily a quality starting big in this league.

Never change, BestGAF!

 

[Branduil]

No, it doesn't.

Dwight, Bynum, M.Gasol, Tyson, Bogut, all better and thats with out having to look.

Him being able to stay healthy makes him a better option than Bogut.

 

[giri]

If Nash leaves he will be back down to 8 ppg 10 rebounds..

Yah, you and rodeo basically have the same opinion of the guy as me.

 

[giri]

Him being able to stay healthy makes him a better option than Bogut.

Pekovic, DMC, as much as i hate to say it, nene.

he's squarely "middle of the pack".

He's, Ok.

Seriously.

He is a starting quality 5 in the NBA.

But that doesn't mean he's an all star.

 

[Blackace]

No, it doesn't.

Dwight, Bynum, M.Gasol, Tyson, Bogut, all better and thats with out having to look.

Monroe, DMC, Jefferson, Hibbert (who will have a shittier contract tho), Al Horford (who should be a PF)..

Gortat in a shitty center league isn't that good...

 

[darkside31337]

If Nash leaves he will be back down to 8 ppg 10 rebounds..

So he's still like a top 10 center then. I don't think he's amazing but he's a lot better than an okay center.

 

[Red Blaster]

Gortat plays okay D and is awesome in the pick and roll, he's a solid center in this league

 

[Blackace]

So he's still like a top 10 center then. I don't think he's amazing but he's a lot better than an okay center.

so he is like a top 20 center.. we just listed about 15 centers better than him a few post ago..

 

[giri]

Monroe, DMC, Jefferson, Hibbert (who will have a shittier contract tho), Al Horford (who should be a PF)..

Gortat in a shitty center league isn't that good...

I hesitate to add monroe, though last season showed promise, because his defense is pourus.

And after hibberts performance in the miami series i rate rafer alston as a higher quality starting C.

Yes, i meant skip to my lou.

 

[Blackace]

He is ok.. a legit starter...

Where would you put Pekovic?

He's, Ok.

He is a starting quality 5 in the NBA.

But that doesn't mean he's an all star.

Nene can't even rebound. Cousins I would agree, although he plays crap defense.

 

[SamuraiX-]

So then why are we arguing about him not being that good and not being worth the money he's getting paid?

 

[Blackace]

lol.. Hibbert knows the game well.. The Pacers are a really untalented team..

Monroe will never play good D but his high and low post game is stupid

 

[zero margin]

So he's still like a top 10 center then. I don't think he's amazing but he's a lot better than an okay center.

uh what. you can't compare center and point guard stats

 

[Doomsayer]

Pek is easily top 5.

After the top 3 centers it gets really messy because there aren't many standouts.

 

[benjipwns]

Chris Haynes: C Marcus Camby narrows choices to San Antonio Spurs, New York Knicks, Miami Heat, Dallas Mavericks, & Boston Celtics

.

 

[Blackace]

Where would you put Pekovic?

Pek is one of the better centers in the league.. He gets over looked a lot because of injuries and where he plays (no offense) I hope he has a full season to get his props.. Also if they add a SG with outside shooting... man...

So then why are we arguing about him not being that good and not being worth the money he's getting paid?

We are talking is he good..

I just wondered why teams have been forever paying backup centers starter money... O'Neal and I guess Gortat are the only 2 I can think that have really panned out..

 

[Matrix]

Flashbacks of Kelvin Cato shit ugh and gonna miss old man Camby, this bites. He was actually pretty damn solid for us
