I believe Marcin Gortat is a valuable player, but he will never play over 10-15 minutes on the same team as Dwight Howard. He and Bass fit Oklahoma City very well. Each are tough, defensive minded players who will complement Chris Bosh and David Lee exceptionally. OKC addresses a weak point of his roster at a low cost, and the Magic complete their goal of freeing cap space. Works for the interests of both teams.
And OKC is under the cap after this move so the 125% rule is not in effect.
