Haha.  Nah.

I'm surprised at how much negativity we're getting right away! I'm loving it.

Maybe he is following the Chauncey Billups it takes five teams before he becomes a star route.

Javale was just on team number 4 so, the next team could finally be the one where he learns how to take talent and turn it into something that has a plus gain on the court ::) ::) ::)

I think I have a better chance at the megamillions tonight and I did not buy a ticket

We do need a center. A poor man's Whiteside? If he comes cheap, i.e. vet min 1 year deal, why not?

Maybe adding him and another mature, well balanced vet (e.g., Lance Stevenson) to mentor him would work out really well. I'm all in.

I saw this over on real gm a couple of days ago:

McGee will be gone before his guarantee date. The exact quote was "There is a reason everyone else gave up on this guy too. He's just never going to get it." And this one "He is a far superior athlete to Tyson Chandler and should be a borderline HoF talent, but he has the mindset of a child and doesn't seem to care. We told him he's lost on so much money and his response was 'But I made more than anyone ever needs.' The dude just doesn't care."
