FA: JaVale McGee 3yrs/$17.2M to DAL | will indeed start at center

Well Nico said he wanted better rebounding and rim protection after we lost to GS.  I am quite confident McGhee does both better than Powell.

On the other hand, Powell does a lot of not stat stuff probably better and is a great teammate.  McGhee has supposedly matured a lot and is a good teammate now too.  

McGhee was good last year and a few times when we played them I thought he is excellent.  I just am surprised by the direction.

I did think Kidd wanted to get bigger and more physical.  So I am not surprised they looked to get a different player than Powell in there.

I think this signing shows Kidd is serious about being physical and good defensively. McGee's last few years have been about Defense, Rebounds, and Put Backs. He's learned to limit the mistakes and over play. Kidd was part of a title team with McGee and AD in the front court.
