Gortat for Haslem
win-win
Miami needs a C. Haslem can provide rebounding help for Howard, a veteran presence, and championship experience. he can play some center and defend other bigs. Plus he has a reliable 15-footer and is proven he can hit big shots. he’s a championship level role player

Gortat later clarified that it’s T-Wolves who are interested

No way Gortat for Beasley happens. Numbers dont match up and Otis would NEVER help the Heat in any way after they helt SVG hostage for draft picks a couple years ago. Also, Beasley is a head case that puts no effort into improving his game. SVG would kill him inside of 2 weeks

Um pretty sure the magic didn’t overpay vc they traded for him, and as far as the argument for the finals pretty sure they meant east finals which they lost in. Not east semi finals

Ummm, last play-offs Orlando didn’t make it into the finals, maybe you need to do your own research?

The same GM that grossly overpaid for Vince Carter’s old ass and just overpaid Chris Duhon, wouldn’t trade their backup Center for a 21 year old former #2 draft pick? Beasley was used as a spot-up jump shooter in Miami, the same as Udonis Haslem. That’s not Beasley’s game. He’s best posting up and using his athleticism near the hoop. The trade would be good for both teams. Aside from Dwight, Orlando is extremely soft.

I doubt the Magic’s GM is dumb enough to make that trade…

Gortat for Michael Beasley. Count on it. Beasley gives the Magic a true 4 that can score, Gortat gives the Heat a Center.
