JaVale McGee on trade market?

[footey]

Reports indicate Denver wants to trade McGee.  He is due to make $11.25 mm this year, and $12 mm next year.  Coming off a broken fibula.  Denver drafting Nuric probably makes him more expendable.

He is incredibly athletic, tall, and long.  His career has been a bit spotty, but he is still quite young, and was on an upward trajectory until his leg injury.

Probably could be gotten for a very cheap price, maybe a contract dump (Wallace?)  I have no idea what it would take.  But this could be the rim protector we seek.  Every bit as long and athletic as Embiid, and much more experience. Also a lot more expensive.  But centers are not cheap. 

Thoughts??

I'd do it, he can be a knucklehead at times but I still think he's starting caliber in the right situation.

[Waew]

he's the type of guy who needs to be on a contender otherwise his weaknesses get exposed.

If we arent going the full rebuild route I would love to see him as the Celtics starting Center. Wont have to give up much for him to.

[Fred Roberts]

Thought about this. Might be a good idea.

Trade exception and a 2nd rounder to get him here? He's still young and he is the definition of rim protection.

His salary doesn't fit in the trade exception.

He's the perfect Rim Protector for this team----except--he's Always Hurt---no--?

[BudweiserCeltic]

Please no, please no, please no...

One of the dumbest people around, and as expected, one of the dumbest players as well. PASS!!!

I just put it in and it did for me unless it was having issues.

Sign and trade AB or Jeff Green for mcgee. I hope it happens. Mcgee when he is on is living above the rim and getting to balls before anyone can even blink

[Beat LA]

YES!  I'd sign him for the entertainment value alone   There's absolutely nothing between his ears, but if you want to tank, get this guy.  He'll make the dumbest plays at the most inopportune times.  Shaqtin' A Fool here we come   I'm only being slightly sarcastic here.  This team would be horrible, but at least it would be hilariously horrible, haha.

he isn't a smart basketball player

it's still worth a shot, though. As is, he's flirted with being the best shot blocker in the league before. He's got to be the active leader in catch-blocks. No one else does that.

a lot of guys get smarter in their mid-twenties. It's definitely worth the $$$, 2nd rounders, and/or Brandon Bass to find out

[perks-a-beast]

I'd only feel good about getting McGee if we could get rid of Gerald Wallace's contract in the process.

[Future Celtics Owner]

I think we should go for Larry Sanders over him.....right?

I have to agree that this is the type of center I would like to get, someone who can block shots

[celticpride1]

Future if you dont have to give up a future first round pic for Javale im down for him!!!
