Where will Marcin Gortat play next season?

This question is still not answered, but we know now who wants him the most. The answer is Huston Rockets.

NBA has its tradition of GM’s calling at the doorstep of a player they want to sign the most at 12:01 on 1st July, in the first minute of deal signing window. Precisely at this time Daryl Morey – Huston Rockets GM knocked on Gortat’s door. He is desperate for a center as Dikembe Mutombo ended his career and Yao Ming’s injury is so serious that he may miss all next season, if not end his career.

Morey convinced fans to send Gortat e-mails to show how badly they want him. In this case it is rather certain that Polish Hammer, as Gortat is called, will leave Orlando, as they are not prepared to offer him more than 5 million dollars a year.

However Rockets are not the only team that pursuit Gortat. Also Mark Cuban, the owner of Dallas Mavericks seems to be keen on him. He said that Dallas would offer more money and more minutes than Huston. He also disbelieved a seriousness of Yao’s injury, as it was, according to him, fake news just to lure Gortat to Huston.

The final answer will be known on 15th July, when Gortat will be able to sign his deal. The only sure thing is that he has to be offered more than 5 million to leave Orlando Magic
