IF the rockets were interested. . .who would they bounce off the team? Rocket River I would hope not Prig ..
I would guess Dorsey. The reason to go after McGee is because Dorsey is awful, if they don't go after McGee it's because they think Dorsey is better than him (which you can make a very solid case for surprisingly enough)
I would definitely take him over Dorsey. Our staff has shown they can take knuckleheads and make them useful.
Isn't today the last day that McGee will be eligible for the playoffs? I don't think Philly will cut him in order to give him a chance to join a playoff team.
Sometime tonight, but I don't know what time. According to the article. McGee to a buy out unless he gets a contract from another team. He makes 12M, so I don't see DM agreeing to a contract like that after this year. But yes, he would be a good get for our playoff run.
Today is the last day for a player to be WAIVED if he wants to be eligible for playoffs for a new team. A player does not have to be signed by his new team today in order for him to be eligible for playoffs. So, JaVale can be waived by Philly today, but wait until, say, March 15th to sign with the Spurs and still be eligible to play for the Spurs in the playoffs.
We gotta make this one happen. He will allow us to limit howard as much as possible. Cut Dorsey. He's not getting PT anymore for some reason.
Yea this is a MUST. Bigger centers have been destroying us. DMo gets bullied & Dorsey is entirely too small. Bring in McGee and tell him his job is to block shots, rebound & dunk the ball under the rim (something our bigs can't seem to figure out). That's it, nothing else. If we get a legit big behind Dwight I honestly don't care who we match up with in the playoffs
Why isn't JRich asking for a buyout. Old fart, but heck the Clippers have no depth what so ever, and they could use him.....
