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

[Mavs2021]

We were bidding against Mil, we added the extra year which is what got him.

Allegedly. Why would a team that has just won the title act like some sad beggars for a minimum level player with one foot out of the league that can´t be relied on in the play-offs regardless of match-ups.

They have Giannis, Lopez, Ibaka and Portis. At best he was regular season injury/health insurance, so they can manage the minutes of Ibaka/Lopez to get them to the play-offs healthy.


Not for one second do I believe they offered McGee more than the minimum and especially not multiple years. They can just wait for buyouts like Favors or like a smart franchise offer that same ALLEGED deal to Jalen Smith or Andre Drummond.

Cuban also gave DeAndre Jordan $24M and celebrated it like some sort of achievement and the Clippers signed Harrell to 16/2 instead. Same happened here. Suns let McGee walk and re-sign the better player to the better contract.

You can bet your $100 crypto voucher that in 12-18 months we are looking to move his contract.
