Magic surprisingly retain Gortat

I thought 5 years, $34 million was more than enough for Dallas to sign Marcin Gortat.  But surprisingly, the Orlando Magic are going to match the offer.

An NBA source has told the Orlando Sentinel that the Orlando Magic will match the five-year, $34-million offer sheet extended by the Dallas Mavericks
to Marcin Gortat and thus retain him. The team would not be able to
trade him until Dec. 15, at the earliest, if that's what the team wants
to do.

Every 4 or 5 years, a crop of big men gets waaaaay overpaid.  Then in 2 or 3 years, GM go on a big "how do I dump this ridiculous contract".   I went into that, and other things, when I joined Glenn on The Dugout Sports Show over the weekend.  You can click here to listen to my interview.

Wonder if Dallas is going to look to Big Baby as a consolation prize?
