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

[Mavsfan12]

I can see why he would say McGee is starting, but I would think that the guard you want on the floor with the jumbo lineup is THJ, not Din.  Din flourishes in space, while THJ is the guy you want getting those kickouts and (theoretically) creating space for the Luka/McGee Luka/Wood actions to occur.  Also, if you want to keep Luka or Din on the floor at all times, It pretty much guarantees that Din is the first sub out... WITH McGee. So while Din would obviously play more minutes, Din and McGee would be sort of connected in their playing time.  I don't think that is optimal.  Training camp and early season will certainly get everything sorted out with the rotations, but it will be interesting to see how that works itself out.
