Rumor that the Sixers are discussing buyout. Worth a look for remainder of season? |

He'll probably want to latch onto a playoff team |

The question is which playoff team can use him? |

Total bonehead but a way better rim protector than Jordan Hill and Rob Sacre. |

He likely wouldn't want to come here but I'm indifferent, either way. I just want to take his mother out to dinner. _________________ Lakers, today. Lakers, tomorrow. Lakers, forever. |

McGee might be a bonehead, but hes a legitimate 7'0 who can run and defend! I think he wouldn't care about going to a playoff contender or not, simply because he hasn't played that much this season and might not be able to contribute that much.
I'm actually hoping that if there is a buyout, that the Lakers get him with his LA ties and all, because we could use him on this roster and he will get a ton of run. We don't have a real Center. He's a little long in the tooth at 27, but right around his prime, barring injury he could be primed for a good season! |

Kupchack should ask Magic to speak with JV and Mom, He would come after speaking with Magic. Then buyout Boozer and Lin. |

Agreed, let him run point and run the tank for the rest of the year. Then next year we've got a rim protector too. |

U know after careful thought and consideration... I think Miami will pick him up once he gets waived! |

It's Official!
It'd be nice to have him, but I truly think it's a long shot, but anything is possible!
Starting 5 and Bench for the rest of the season if we were to get him IMO.
Clarkson + Ellington + Kelly + Hill + McGee
Lin + Young + Johnson + Davis + Sacre |

With Blake G out it appears that the Clippers are the front-runner for his services. |

Clippers are up against the hard cap, there isn't much salary they can add. _________________ RIP mom. 11-21-1933 to 6-14-2023. |

I wonder how much he's being offered? He could be a bargain. And the Lakers could let him "rest" the remainder of the season so he doesn't interfere with the tank.
Lots of thinks would have to align for it to work though.. |

Well, he's a free agent so not sure he'd want to join a team to do that. _________________ From 2-10 to the Western Conference Finals |

Can he sign a multi year deal right now? |

If a team has cap space. Doubt he locks himself into a 2 year minimum deal (although he is getting paid the full balance of his contract by the 76ers).
What a joke the 76ers are. They basically paid $30m+ for a 1st rounder. _________________ From 2-10 to the Western Conference Finals |

So he'll probably sign a min contract for the rest of the season w/ a contender, then be a UFA next year huh?
Yeah, Philly is pathetic. I understand they're playing the long game, but I think it will eventually blow up on them |

I would try to sign him since we really need a rim protector. Sure, he is a bone head but he gets an impressive 3.2 blocks per 36 minutes for his career. I would at lease try to sign him in the off season, maybe 4years/ 40million. Seems like a bit much but he is a 7 footer and 10 million per year soon might be the average nba salary with the cap going way up. I would only sign him to a deal like that if we don't draft a center with the lottery pick. |

Let me get this right.
Denver trades him for a bag of hot urine (after signing him to the contract you just outlined).
76ers, rather than keeping him as an asset elects to buy his entire contract out.
Then you want the Lakers to pay him 4 years, 40m??? _________________ From 2-10 to the Western Conference Finals |

yeah, $10M a year?
If we don't draft Towns/Okafor, I'd offer javale 2 yrs $12M with a team option after year one. This would be after I pursued Davis and Wright first |

McGee has/had a problem with asthma and had a stress fracture in his leg last season.
Plus he sometimes has done things that are considered puzzling by some.
Signing Javale might not be as risky as signing Larry Sanders, but most teams will still be hesitant to offer a multi year contract with a large salary.
Quality Bigs will remain in demand because those that should be in their primes have health and/or focus issues.
Larry Sanders
Javale McGee
Oden

Something like that is much more palatable. If we get WCS and McGee, that's sickle cell trait and asthma. Awesome! _________________ From 2-10 to the Western Conference Finals |
