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

[mvossman]

I must be nuts, because THIS is the player I expected AND the player I saw in PHX. He's not lazy, he's just SLOW. That tends to happen when you're 34 and over 7 feet tall.

To get an impartial point of view, here are what advanced stats say about him this year vs last:

Year     BPM       EPM
This      -6.1       -3.1
Last         .8        1.8

We are not seeing the same player.  He was a useful contributor last season, and he is below replacement (G league) value this season.
