I don't know much about Javale, but this was funny at least:

Maybe he is better that that low-light reel?  I have no idea.

We tried Hollins, Williams and Steimsma. We have yet to see what JjJ will bring to the table. Who else do you recommend. Camby would be great, Josh Smith even better; but what do you give up.

Let Ray walk and sign the number 2 shot blocker in the league, Javelle McGee.

Done and done.

If Garnett doesn't come back we should NOT go after McGee. Need some one to teach him how to play like a pro. Some of this is the Wizards fault.

Based on some things that have been reported, it's possible that KG would be less inclined to come back if the Celtics acquired a player like McGee, if that player is someone that KG doesn't respect.

Do people think KG has a high regard for Javale McGee?

After what I have seen and read of McGee now, it seems the bb iq is maybe a bit low.  He is athletic, and a shot blocker, probably a lot of potential.  He also might drive a perfectionist like KG completely bonkers.  haha

but KG and PP did give the thumbs up for Hollins, so I guess anything is possible.

If I was KG I would really hope they would ask me my opinion at least before considering signing McGee...

I would definitely consider going after Javale McGee.  I, too, think he might be a great fit alongside Rondo.

I hope that Chris Wilcox recovers entirely from his heart ailment.  I don't think he ever gets enough credit around here for the way he was playing prior to going down with that freak heart condition.

Ainge is too smart to give this guy 10 mill a year.

  • Boston Celtics= Championships, nothing less.
I want ZERO part of Javale Mcgee.
I think he has potential, but he is just plain STOOPID. Some people were born with fantastic athleticism and timing, but no smarts and they don't have the ability to process and learn like others. Javal Mcgee is one of those guys and I can think of plenty of other ways to spend 14 million a year rather than roll the dice on this meat head.
I couldn't count how many stupid plays he'd made down the stretch that have nothing to do with Wizards coaching staff or a lack of leadership. These mistakes happen because he's a moron.
Buy draft picks with capspace if we have to, but please lord, do not roll the dice on this cave man.

Read that last line again. One more time.

Fab Melo, who can also hit j's from 15 feet.

Better value than McGee, he won't piz off Garnett by making more money, and it will free up cap space.
