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

[cow]

I get that to a degree ...but in the NBA world, it's really far from the arm-and-a-leg some seem to think it is. It's HALF the full MLE.

I know we had dreamy discussions about how the Mavs were going to use that money, but it's come nowhere near buying what we hoped it might. We didn't somehow miss out on one of those other need-fillers, to get McGee.

In the end, I'm happy.  I've been bitching about rebounding for years now.  Wood and McGee are massive, massive, massive upgrades in this area and have unique skillsets that will be helpful elsewhere.  I'd be thrilled if Luka's rebounding numbers dipped to around 6 per game.
