Well, Gortat can repack his bags as he is on his way to Orlando. The defending Eastern Conference Champions have resigned the backup Center who was a core part of the team on its way to a great season.

Gortat is mostly unhappy that he is going back due to the fact he wanted to start in the NBA, but their will be no longer a chance for that! Or will their be?

That's right, the Magic may be looking to trade the Center, and a rumor has already popped up of him to Houston for Shane Battier.

Gortat would get to start for likely only a season, and Houston has said they will trade for a Center. Could Gortat be the answer?

Why Houston Does It:

• Need a Center while Yao is out.
• Allows them to make room for Ariza and let him play more.
• If he doesn't work out. Good trade bait.

Why Orlando Does It:

• Gives them another perimeter defender which allows them to move Rashard Lewis to Power Forward
• Another good shooter where he can get open looks from double teams on Howard
