Knicks eyeing Orlando's Gortat?

New York Knicks president Donnie Walsh apparently has his eye on Marcin Gortat, the 7-foot, back-up center of the Orlando Magic, according to a report in the New York Post.
The Post reported Walsh would like to get a center with his $5 million mid-level exception during free agency. The Knicks had no interior defensive presence, and that's Gortat's strength. He also blocks shots and rebounds.
The Polish big man originally was drafted by coach Mike D'Antoni's Suns in the second round of 2005, but they traded his rights. Gortat probably will not be re-signed because he plays a smallish role as Dwight Howard's backup and the Magic can't pay him accordingly, the Post reported.
The Post reported Magic general manager Otis Smith can match any offer, but said he knows it will be a financial challenge to retain Gortat.

Gortat has been very effective when he steps in for Howard.
