JaVale McGee

[GoreRush]

The 76ers are waiving him and he'll be free to sign with a playoff team. A legit 7-footer is going to be in hot demand. Where does he end up and will he be a game-changer for someone?

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

The Warriors and Rockets could use him as insurance for their gimpy Centers.

If he or Whiteside could play pf, the Heat.

If he wants to become a legit NBA player and stop behaving like a buffoon, the Spurs.

It all depends on his priorities.

He didn't give up any money so....

If he wants a shot at a ring, while playing limited minutes:

1. Cavs

2. Warriors

3. Griz

4. Spurs

If he wants to play:

1. Rockets

2. Raptors

3. Heat

The Cavs should have waited on picking up Perk.

 

[tducey]

Mcgee would be a good pickup for any team.

Curious what you mean by that. I know that he sometimes plays like a buffoon, but I am unaware of him otherwise behaving badly.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

The Cavs should have waited on picking up Perk.

Agreed.

Perhaps they didn't want to risk missing out on another big.

Not sure why they felt Perk would help.

Maybe they just wanted a goon.

I'm pretty sure nobody thought this Shaqtin a fool Allstar was gonna be on the market.

Wouldn't be a big shock if the Cavs signed him too.

The guy has mental problems.....

Seriously, google " Javelle McGee is a Clown" and you will see for yourself.



Is McGee mad? He actually enjoys the joy ride that is ADD, now referred to as ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder), which leads to inattentiveness, over-activity and impulsivity, often in unhealthy doses.

It's bizarre, yes, but that makes him bizarre. And in a league where personas are rehearsed and behavior is choreographed, McGee is resplendently refreshing. He knows he can take the medicine. But what's the fun in being like everyone else?

Or, as teammate Kenneth Faried put it, upon hearing McGee describe his medical condition from across the locker room, "I didn't know you had ADD. I knew something was wrong with you, but I didn't know it was that."

McGee's agent should be begging Pop for a shot for McGee to sit on the bench. Truly believe Pop would be the only one who could save his career from being a complete joke. He's never been on a team where it had a strong culture and veteran presence. Forget contributing, learn to play basketball.

 

[Arizona_Sting]

Yeah McGee is a clown. Doesn't take the game seriously at all.

I wouldn't want him anywhere near my team.

the Cavs are not going to add McGee...its hard enough to get a guy acclimated to teh team at this time of the year as it is---say what you want about Perk- but he is an actual pro and has his head on straight and has a ton of playoff experience- hes the type of guy that could come in FAIRLY quickly- now will it take probably a month before he is reaally ready to go? yah probably- but you might not be able to get ole JaVale to figure out his role if you had YEARS - let alone just a couple months....

ESPECIALLY at this point of the year. If you have the whole offseason and year to get him going- and get his head on straight....thats fine- especially if you have him on a multi year deal and can really dictate to him....

bringing that guy in and trying to get him ready for playoff basketball in 2 months? while telling him to take a role where you might not even play every night? with no hammer over his head since he is gone in 2 months anyway?

no thanks.....

I mean, you're probably right.

He's a clown.

But, Perk is only 6 fouls.

At least with McGee, you might have a chance at a couple rebounds and a couple of blocks.

Honestly, it's probably really hard for him.

Firstly, he's off his rocker.

Secondly, could you imagine what it would feel like to have everyone remind you that your MOM was a far superior basketball player than yourself.

Reggie used Cheryl as fuel for the fire.

JaVelle just curled into a ball and collected millions.

Anyone who thinks off signing him next year should have most of his money incentive based.

I hope he lands with someone soon. Otherwise, they're going to have to cut those "Shaqtin' a Fool" segments in half.

 

[trojanfan12]

Not a playoff team, but I want the Lakers to get him. He and Swaggy P would be comedy gold. Might as well get a few laughs over the next 20+ games.

Rockets don't have a chance for a ring? lol
