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

[cow]

I hated the Powell/KP pairing and I am going to hate the McGee/Wood pairing.  I don't really get starting a guy that is not in your top 7 or 8 players, especially in the playoffs.  My biggest nightmare is that McGee/Powell are going to get 35+ minutes a game.

I'm having a hard time finding 7-8 guys on our roster better than McGee.

1.  Luka
2.  DFS
3.  Wood (hopefully?)
4.  Dinwiddie 
5.  Bullock
6.  McGee
7.  Maxi
8.  THJ

Honestly for 3-8, you could argue just about any order.  McGee is the best true center we've had since TC.  I also don't think we will always go with a big lineup.  I could still see DFS getting minutes at the 4 with any number of our 4/5 hybrids or McGee getting burn at the 5.  We've got a lot of flexibility at the 4/5 and the lineups are going to depend on the matchups.

McGee is really good so don't let his goofball start to his career get in the way.  He's been the part of A LOT of winning since his last stint in Dallas.
