I thought this was really interesting, because he is a great player, but also I remember I think a month or two ago, @saltlover making a post exploring the possibility of signing Otto Porter in the summer if nothing else materializes (major trades, Griffin/Hayward stay put, etc.). He is a restricted FA I believe.

Porter is averaging around 15/7 this season and is shooting 53% from the field (45% from 3 pt. land).

I voted NO... BUT: I would very much still consider it, but I'd honestly prefer any of Ibaka/Noel/Millsap in FA - each a solid, second tier rebounding 4 or 5 available this summer that can put up some points as well (And I'm assuming Hayward and Griffin are pipe dreams as they likely stay with their current teams).

Thoughts?

doubt it unless Crowder gets moved

Porter is a pure 3

Right, because we know Stevens despises going small, he never uses Crowder at the 4, and prefers traditional lineups.

I have not changed my stance.  Also, Porter frequently plays the 4 for Washington with Oubre at the 3.

Yeah that's something I was thinking too, I know he plays the 3 but he has the ability to play the 4 as well.

You should make a poll.

Anyways, I don't know if Porter is worth the max he's going to expect to get.
