Marcin Gortat says the Magic told him after the season that they would not “hesitate” to add him in a trade to acquire a star player. That’s the biggest news according to my Polish journalist contact, Jakub Wojczy?ski, who covered Gortat’s media avail on Monday. Said Gortat, “Stan Van Gundy and Otis Smith told me that when they have chance to get big star, they won’t hesitate and will add me to this trade. But teams don’t get players to just put them on the bench. (On) another team, there won’t be second Dwight Howard and I will have twice bigger chance to play. It could be step forward for me.” Gortat was asked if he wants to stay with the Magic or have an opportunity for more playing time elsewhere. “I was thinking about this many times. It’s good to be on a team which plays almost to the end of the playoffs, even if you play only 8-10 minutes. But on the other hand I would like to play for a team when I’ll have chance to fight for starting 5 and for example, score 20 points, (which) is one of my dreams. So it’s hard dilemma.” Gortat said he plans on playing for the Polish national team this summer. “I’m 99% sure that I will play for national team this year. I will join them (July 20) after series of Marcin Gortat Camps for the kids. There is new agreement between NBA and FIBA and I’m not allowed to practice more than once a day at NT camp. I know all the set plays, I know most players and I’m physically OK, so there won’t be any problems because of joining NT late.” Gortat said in Orlando he wanted to be teamed with Dwight Howard more, playing power forward. “I’m working on my shot, because I want to be able to play power forward. In NBA, I take one shot in a game and miss it, but that doesn’t mean I can’t shoot. I can and I showed this on last EuroBasket, when I was allowed to shoot more by our coach.” 鍋貼表示 Otis 跟恐慌大師都曾經對他說若球隊有機會得到一個 Big Star，那他們 會毫不猶豫的把他交易出去。 對他個人而言，由於聯盟裡只有一個魔獸，到其他隊去會有更大的發揮空間，這對 他也很重要。 但問到他希望能夠繼續待在魔術隊還是被交易到其他隊以獲得更多機會，鍋貼表示 這個問題他已經想過很多次了，在奧蘭多，即使每場平均只有 8-10 mins的上場時 間，但可以打到季後賽的最後階段，或是到其他球隊去可以擠進先發五人，然後得 個20分，這是他的夢想之一。 這個夏天鍋貼也會去參加波蘭的國家隊比賽。 如果要待在奧蘭多，他表示希望能與魔獸組成雙塔，他已經在投籃上下了苦功，希 望能夠擔任 PF 的位置，只要教練願意讓他有更多的投籃機會，他能夠表現出他擁 有投射能力。 --
