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

[cow]

How much did we give for Barnes? Was he an All Star?  Wasn’t he a bigger gamble than JB?  I am not seeing JB’s contract as outlandish at all. You think if he had given the Heat a fair chance they would have offered much less?  That’s a top notch organization who wanted him as well. 

There was a stat about him being one of the best mid range shooters and he shot a lot too. Plus he could create his own shot.  It’s not just about the money. Boban at 7 mill was an overpay. Powell at 11mill similarly.  Javale at a 3 year deal of 20 mill given his age and what he will bring is an overpay compared to what JB will make.

Barnes was 4/85.  

I don't think there was any truth the Heat being interested.  I'm not sure anyone else was ready to give JB that number, not that it would have mattered.
