I don’t think McGee represents very much of a positive change from Powell in some crucial areas. In some areas, sure. I’m also not sure he even plays in front of Powell against some potential playoff opponents.
For me, the goal would have been:
1) Adding Wood and all of the benefits there we’ve discussed. Another rotation mainstay who brings more skill to the table.
2) Adding another playoff rotation wing or a forward so that they have the FLEXIBILITY to choose only to play Wood and Kleber in games that call for that approach.
3) upgrade the 3rd Big from Powell to someone like McGee to be used only in situations that call for it. Honestly, I would’ve been fine with Powell in this role for one more season.
If they had done #2 (still might) I’d be fine with adding McGee. Even just retaining Brunson would’ve kinda/sorta made THJ that guy (though I was hoping for Brunson AND a wing addition).
