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

[Winter]

Yep.  If there is one thing that makes me feel better about the McGee signing, its that it allows us to play Wood and Maxi together (which I think is a great pairing) and don't need Maxi to be the backup center.  From a playoff rotation standpoint, I see Wood/Maxi being the primary bigs, with some stints of McGee/Dorian, and a smallball lineup of Wood/Dorian.  Then Dorian will take most or all of the minutes at the 3 that Bullock doesn't.  Hopefully Dragic takes on any minutes Luka is out and Timmy and Dinwiddie can split the minutes at the 2.

You could sell me on that thinking. 

I still doubt that's the official plan, but I could at least see that.
