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

[cow]

Many rebounds due to Maxi and Dwight having to cover for inadequate perimeter defense. Perhaps a real offensive weapon like Wood makes Looney unplayable. We can agree to disagree on Looney’s (and other bigs) impact/value, but I think we can both agree that sometimes the other team is just better.

The point is that it isn't one size fits all for lineups.  Maxi and Dwight are poor rebounders in the first place.  Wood and McGee are not.  Wood brings an offensive skillset and McGee brings a defensive skillset that our rotation did not have.  We are far more versatile with the additions.  It's why I've campaigned for the past few years to get D12 or McGee on one year deals.  They have value and usefulness even in the "modern NBA".
