2014 Free Agency Period: News and Discussion

[AuxiliaryPie]

he's making like 10 mill and we have no trade pieces, unless we're willing to give up tristan/andy. id be ecstatic if we stole mcgee from denver but i dont see how its possible

3 expiring deals and picks

 

[NorthCoastBias]

Not sure what he's looking for money-wise or if we have any interest but he played for Blatt with Maccabi last year and shot almost 42% from three. SG/SF combo

Last week's ESPN Pelton Chat seems to be the source for the McGee trade rumors. I don't think anything is imminent. or Likely.

Mel (Denver) Wouldn't Waiters and Thompson for Afflalo and Mozgov make some sense for both teams?
Kevin Pelton (4:06 PM) Some sense, though I don't see Thompson as a good fit in Denver. Playing him with Kenneth Faried presents the same issues as playing him with Kevin Love.
Kevin Pelton (4:07 PM) If the Cavaliers and Nuggets make a trade, my money is on JaVale McGee for Brendan Haywood's instant expiring next summer.

I don't know how I would feel about Javalie McGee....

Ingles is a great energetic player. He is very passionate which has it's ups and downs, because when he is confident and in the "zone" he doesn't miss and he is extremely dominant, but there were games where he didn't appear...
He is great on the open court, when there is chaos and lots of movement. But on a more tactical slow paces games he becomes grey version of himself.
He is not very athletic so I wonder how he will do in the NBA, but he can become a really good 3pt sniper role player...

Part of you has to be excited, for no other reason that what AC's reaction will be to a Javale McGee play. My guess is that most of AC's analysis of Javale would start with "What in the world...."

Wasting Haywood's contract on McGee? There aren't enough languages to say no to that.

im seeing talk on twitter an analyst on ESPN said cavs are trying to work something with denver for mcgee now..

Possibility as in rumor or we are truly making a bid? OMFG id love him he is super long and athletically a freak. Now id want a safari for JM with out a doubt. I am not thrilled with his offensive IQ but we don't need that at all just those blocks & monster dunks to demoralize and intimidate.


This video is why he would be avail like I said IQ issues on offense.

McGee just ain't worth it: he'll make a highlight play every once in awhile but he's so dumb that he ends up hurting your team no matter how good those plays are. Even his defensive RAPM stats don't look great and you'd figure the one thing he can do is protect the rim which should translate but nope he doesn't understand defense enough to really help.

I think he needs someone like Kobe or LBJ to curse his ass out for all that cute shit. It's a plain fing problem wasting all that talent because he has no self awareness. I mean he truly can't be that dumb from a basket ball IQ stand point can he lol?

He surely isn't worth that Haywood contract chip but for a future 1st rounder id do it. Thats a better deal than the Mozzie plus scrub for Dion & TT deal.

Id do TT & the Memphis pick but im dreaming lol.

Yes he's that dumb. He's 26 years old now: you pretty much know what kind of player you have by now.
Add in he's coming off a stress fracture injury: no thanks. Rather just roll the dice with what we have and see what is available. All the Cavs need is backup center who can clog the paint and basically otherwise get out of the way. McGee actually hurts the team on offense and often on defense with poor rotations. Think about it this way he's the type of player the Spurs would avoid at all costs

We need to focus on getting guys who can contribute now, not projects like McGee. And at 26 with his injury history I'm not sure he'll ever escape the "project" phase of his career.
