If I'm Danny, I'm seriously thinking of giving McGee a huge offer this off season and hoping Wiz don't match.
Under the new CBA, can the Wizards still pay more?
Well he's restricted so they will have three days to match but maybe you throw him a max level deal and see if Washington let's you have him.
He will be a four year veteran, 24 years old and probably a guy that will give you 18-20 PPG, 10-12 RPG, 2 BPG, 1 SPG for a long time.
Is that worth a max contract and pairing him up with Rondo, Green, Bass, and the younger guys for the future?
Come on, is Javale McGee really close to showing the ability to put up 20-10 on a nightly basis? That would make him one of the best centers in the league. We're not talking about Andrew Bynum here.
Javale McGee, as big and long as he is, as great a shot blocker as he is, is actually a net negative defensively more often than not. He's a terrible defender. That more than anything should tell you to stay away until he learns how to play the game a bit better, and maybe works on his body some more.
He's six games into being around a good coach like Flip Saunders. I think you will see a different player defensively by year's end.
he was around flip all of last year
TP I stand corrected.
Still think he will be looking at a near max deal though.
youre probably right but i think just because of his size.
for what you originally said though, I think being around a great coach would do him wonders. He has the tools to be an elite center, but I think hes just a dumb guy, no real basketball IQ whatsoever.
Flip Saunders, I think is a VERY over-rated coach, so I think your statement still stands. Being around a great coach and having a good mentor will do him wonders, but I dont think he'll ever reach his full potential
