first thing first gortat is a liability on defense I'll take len defensively over gortat len biggest problem he can't stay healthy and I never said to get of gortat len would be for depth
expose yourself brehs

Good rebounding. Good defense. Freaky low turnovers. He's good, young, and has improved every year of his career
the turnovers are so 'freaky low' because he never has to dribble lmao. all he does is sit in the corner and wait to get spoonfed by john wall. his rebounding is aite, and his defense is good - but not good enough to warrant a max because giving a defensive player a max today means that they can either 1) slow down lebron with no help 2) consistently help to blow up a top 5 offense

otto porter is none of those things, and that money can go to guys that can play solid defense and shoot wide open 3s from the corner at half the price....

i like porter, but ain't no damned way to spin him getting a max contract.

He's 24, he shoots those open threes at an elite 43% clip, he is a great finisher in transition and as a cutter (73% at rim). He defends well and has great length. He's gotten better every year, and is the perfect glue 3&D piece. A modern day Tayshaun Prince.

You lock a guy like that up :comeon:

Lock him up, but not for a max :yeshrug:

I'm not hating on Otto, but you'd like to see him take over a game a few times on O or D at the very least. At least Mike Conley was the best PG not to make an all-star game in a LONG time and is essentially irreplaceable at that position for as well.

Otto Porters come and go all the time. And hell, I'm sure one who can put the ball on the court every once in a while and take some pressure off of John Wall and Beal would be appreciated just as much if not more. The Wizards need depth more than they need Otto Porter.

HE DOESN'T DRIBBLE THE BALL....HOW CAN YOU TURN IT OVER WHEN YOU NEVER DRIBBLE :dahell: DO YOU EVEN WATCH THE WIZARDS OR JUST LOOK AT STATS??

John Wall is responsible for everything he does. He needs a check every two weeks from Otto Porter if he gets paid
He is a 3 a d guy that took way too long to pop and he magically does it in his contract year :dead: don't get bazemore'd

Let this dude walk or sign him to a reasonable contract. You don't give 130m to 3 and D guys that can't create or make anyone on the team better.

He actually had the best TOV% of anyone (qualified) in the league and shot extremely well from 3 :leon:

One thing for sure, Wall seems to get the best out of his teammates :manny:

Raptors trying to trade Carroll, teams like Suns and Nets want assets to take bad contracts
